    In the intelligent design conversation all the science in the world wasn’t enough to show evolution is a viable explanation, but the mere existence of the Cambrian explosion was irrefutable evidence of whatever magical conclusion was convenient.

    Keen observation, that one.  Double standards and all that.

    It’s stuff like that which I believe needs to be pointed out more vocally, if not militantly.

     

    My thinking runs something like this,

    Since they never really want to talk about facts and constructive learning, why do we try arguing facts.  Why not spend more time dissecting their rhetorical fancy dancing, and then confronting them with that,

    and why not bring in ethics, morality and honestly representing others and such  considerations that seem to have been completely trashed in recent decades?
