1. Are Darwin's Theories Fact or Faith Issues?

Why is the link to PZ's blog marked as offensive? ... I mean... nobody warned me that KKMS is a christian radio with obscene commercials which I found rather offensive.

Anyway... it showed a really important point. Even though PZ wiped the floor with Simmons it often wise not to debate creationists.
1) They lie
2) It often boils down to what we in the computer field call "FUD" (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt). Simmons gladly presented false claims knowing full well that most of his religious listeners wouldn't know how to check the facts anyway. ... and thus getting the impression that there is a real scientific dispute.
