This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

Quack Quack, the Which is Dead

Salon.com News | Texas adopts controversial biology books:
"Some religious and alternative science groups had argued that weaknesses in the theory of evolution weren't adequately presented in the books. But scientists and educators argued that the theory of evolution is widely believed and is a cornerstone of modern scientific research. "


Evolution is science, creationism is religion.

I studied Biology for four years, as well as Chemistry. Evolutionary theory actually provides tools to investgate the natural world. The wholesale rejection of creationism is based on the fundamental fact that it offers nothing to scientists to advance our quest for knowledge. It professes to have all the answers to unasked questions. Its a dead end.

Most people just don't understand the entire structure of evolutionary science. Its mostly mathematical. Almost to the point of frustration. By far one of the hardest courses I ever took, next to Calculus. But, evolution produces good results. Answers to the questions we are asking. When a practice succeeds at prediction we accept it as a scientific theory. The main opponents to teaching evolution can only suggest that its an imperfect theory. But that's the nature of the beast. Same with Quantum Mechanics, General Relativity, and even Gravity. We still have questions but we've got the basics nailed down. By suggesting we throw out the best working models and ideas because of their lack of perfection is nonsense.

The arguement of fair and equal treatment is one of weakness. Its a last ditch effort to keep creationsim from slipping into oblivion where it belongs. I could just as easily argue that the human race sprang from dinosaur turds. Should unanswered questions in evolution provide a good excuse to teach my theory?

NO!

Creationism is religion. Its not science. Throw it out. Horray for Texas, (never thought I'd say that) putting the fundamentalists in their place.
