Because Darwin’s theory is a theory…
by Alex K. on September 27th, 2005
Here’s an interesting bit found via Google News, it looks like people are once again questioning the all powerful theory of evolution.
Parents in a rural Pennsylvania town are mounting the first legal test of the controversial theory of the origin of life known as intelligent design.Eleven parents are suing the Dover school board for requiring teachers to cast doubt on Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and to offer intelligent design as an alternative.
The landmark case, dubbed Scopes II, comes eight decades after the infamous Scopes “monkey trial” in which a teacher named John Scopes was convicted of illegally teaching evolution in a Tennessee school, rather than sticking to the biblical version of the creation. Lawyers on both sides expect the case to go all the way to the US Supreme Court.
What could the horrid, fatal, and otherwise not very nice statement have been?
“Because Darwin’s theory is a theory, it continues to be tested as new evidence is discovered. The theory is not a fact. Gaps in the theory exist for which there is no evidence . . .” the statement says.
Yep, that’s awful stuff alright. Happily, it looks like the evolutionists’ lawyers are exceptionally bright:
The parents’ lawyers told the court in the nearby city of Harrisburg that intelligent design was merely “a 21st-century version of creationism”.
That’s enough to make you rethink going to law school ;)
