Royal Society "Creationist" Resigns

Chris_Keene writes in to let us know that the Prof. Michael Reiss, who recently caused a storm with comments about teaching creationism in schools, has resigned from his post as director of education at the Royal Society in the UK. This news coincides with word out of the Anglican church that it is ready to apologize to Charles Darwin, 150 years after it poured scorn on his theory of evolution by natural selection. "The Church of England will concede in a statement that it was over-defensive and over-emotional in dismissing Darwin's ideas. It will call 'anti-evolutionary fervor' an 'indictment' on the Church."

    Actually science still can't explain where DNA came from or for that matter science cannot explain matter. The big bang was a theological idea used to give scientists a starting point. That they don't believe in what caused that starting point is moot. I would love if Evolutionists would reconsider their views but for them it is the Holy Grail and a religion. I don't dispute evolution as in "Survival of the fittest" and change over time and adaptations. I reject it as an explanation for the source of all matter, dna, and life. It doesn't tackle those subjects yet you always see those lumped into evolutionary discussions.

    The only people who always lump all that other stuff into evolutionary discussions are creationists.
