Speaking of truthiness, Mr. Maxwell should do a bit more reading about the Scope’s trial and evolution.

I don’t dispute that Inherit the Wind is a classic only that the Scope’s trial was a manufactured event and not the result of the religious right’s efforts in support of a political agenda to do away with evolution. And science is doing away with evolution, not religion or the belief in intelligent design.

First there’s the notion that evolution is based upon an incredible confluence of events that magically morphed basic elements into life. Ironically that sounds a lot like faith to me, but I digress.

Then there’s the lack of fossil record to support the evolution of any one animal into a more evolved species. And there is absolutely no clear convincing evidence to support the evolution of a family of animals like the famous monkey to man evolution. The fossil record just doesn’t support evolution in either case.

Amazingly Mr. Maxwell ridicules President Bush's faith based initiates, family values and other applications of his faith in his administration policies and yet he completely ignores Darwinism’s darker political track record. Survival of the fittest is clearly evident in the polices of Hitler, Stalin and the Klan and the application of its tenets produced incredibly horrific results.

All of which leaves me wondering how truthiness or the suspension in belief in facts is a liability in one’s point of view and an asset to another’s?
