Johnson – father of the intelligent design movement – <BR/><BR/> • "This isn't really, and never has been a debate about science. It's about religion and philosophy."<BR/><BR/>and<BR/> • "Our strategy has been to change the subject a bit so that we can get the issue of intelligent design, which really means the reality of God, before the academic world and into the schools.<BR/><BR/>“Expelled” is nothing more than a cinematic attempt to further the manufactured argument that intelligent design/creationism is a viable alternative to the study of evolution. <BR/><BR/>Tens of millions of Americans, who neither know nor understand the actual arguments for or even against evolution, march in the army of the night with their Bibles held high. And they are a strong and frightening force, impervious to, and immunized against, the feeble lance of mere reason.<BR/>---Isaac AsimovAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-60894050006111743592008-03-08T06:34:00.000-08:002008-03-08T06:34:00.000-08:00Thanks, Vjatcheslav.
