The Eye: Evolution versus Creationism

Sox2 writes "SciScoop is running a story about researchers in Germany who claim to have solved the "mystery" surrounding the evolution of the mamalian eye. The work, published in Science, goes some way to answering the issues raised in the "intelligent design" debate that has become the mainstay of creationist thinking."

The main point is that ID generates a discourse where traditional creationists fail to do that. Discourse in itself is the danger. There should not be discourse on a pretence level field, there is no level field.

So then you're against freedom of speach. Great.

It's all OK until:
- Someone else's religious belief get in the way of teaching my human morality and right from wrong.
- Someone else's beliefs mean my taxes are spent on convincing children to copulate before marriage and then to kill the child as it is being delivered.
- Someone else's beliefs prevent me from raising my child in the way I see most proper.
- Someone else's beliefs are used to determine what can and cannot be taught to our children.
- Someone else's beliefs are prominent in the election of the leader of the world's most powerful economic and military force.

At this point, someone else's beliefs very concretely become my concern, and I reserver the right to disagree with them and oppose them if necessary.
