Attack of the Theocrats!
Whenever I hear debates I take someone seriously up until they say something so stupid that a ninth grader can refute them. In this debate I stopped taking Simmons seriously when he cited the "evolution is just a theory" argument. I just listened to the part about "teach the controversy" and I have to say that Intelligent Design isn't actually being considered in the scientific community. THE FLAWS YOU CITE DON"T EXIST!!!!! Sorry just heard him saying that there are "flaws" in evolution.
Oh it's clear that they are more supportive of Simmons just by merit of reading out all his books and only saying that PZ is a proffessor of biology.
This is the first time I heard the "birth" complexity argument. What is the proper refutation because I don't know the science behind it?
