People who doubt the truth of Darwinian evolution love to claim that there are no transitional fossils-no remains of ancient creatures that have the characteristics of two different kinds of organism, mixed together. If evolution were true, you'd expect to see them...
...short, fishapod adds one more brick, and an especially important one, to the edifice of Darwinian evolution-and at the same time puts the so-called theory of intelligent design into even greater question than it already faces. That would be true if only because any designer who deliberately made such a queer fish would have been more of a practical joker than anything else. But it also demonstrates that while evolution has plenty of missing bits of evidence, they keep showing up all the time to strengthen it. Evolution is, as ID supporters love to say, "just" a theory...
...impediment to a liberal arts education. The distinctions drawn between core and departmental courses are inexplicable and irrational. My daughter’s multidisciplinary bioethics course does not count towards the core requirement of Moral Reasoning. Her history of science course on the nineteenth century social response to Darwinian evolution does not count as a History A or B. Her three demanding, higher-level French courses do not count towards either the Foreign Cultures or the Literature and Arts requirements of the core. Instead, the core requires students to work less demanding courses into their schedules, while not counting more...
...Jones University’s “Biology for Christian Schools,” which specifically states: “The people who have prepared this book have tried consistently to put the Word of God first and science second.” With the important place the Darwinian theory of evolution plays in academic discussions of genetics, ecology, and neurology (to name just a few biology-heavy fields), it is unsurprising a university would want their incoming class well-versed in its tenets and applications. UC told Calvary that it was welcome to keep the Bob Jones book...
...productive, normal lives under proper care.We also have to face the reality that many of our most desperately ill citizens have no chance of entering normal society again. But allowing them to “choose” to wither away on the streets seems more like a cruel Darwinian ploy than a valid social policy for dealing with those who have no hope.Prior to the massive deinstitutionalization undertaken in the 1980s, the U.S. government acknowledged that it was our responsibility to ensure that mentally ill people received minimal assistance. But despite the surge in homelessness that followed the shift...
