Re: theory of evolution or dogmatic faith in evolution

Funny how 80 years ago the ACLU was demanding that evolution AND
creation models of origins be taught in public schools as mandated by
the Constitutional requirement of neutrality to competing ideologies
of origins. This was the purpose of the famous Scopes trial in 1925.
However as evidenced yesterday at the Orlando hearing on changing
science curriculum in public schools- it was apparent that now the
forces of intolerance and dogmatic exclusiveness were evident by the
ACLU's insistence that any criticism of evolution or inclusion of the
alternative models of origins were a violation of church and state.

I agree with you that evolution and many different versions of
creationism seen should be taught in schools. Unfortunately doing
so would start a war between parents and science teachers, because
exposing creationism to critical examination is something no
christian
fundamentalist wants.

Read Dr. Wilder-Smith's book "A Scientific Alternative to Neo-
Darwinian Evolution" for a world class scientist's critique of the
chemical impossibility of macro-evolution.

If macro-evolution is impossible, how do you explain these
fossils that illustrate the transition of the human brain over
the past 2.5 million years from about 450cc to it's present
size of about 1350cc:

If this isn't macro-evolution, what is it?
