LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY sunfell) Despite massive scientific corroboration for evolution, roughly half of all Americans believe that God created humans within the past 10,000 years. Many others believe the "irreducible complexity" argument of the intelligent design movement -- a position that, while somewhat more flexible, still rankles most scientists. This widespread refusal to accept evolution can drive scientists into a fury. I've heard biologists call anti-evolutionists "idiots," "lunatics" ... and worse. But the question remains: How do we explain the stubborn resistance to Darwinism? This interview should serve to remind us that neither science nor religion is clear cut or black and white. It's worth the day pass to read it. LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY jamie_miller) |
