A little Gotcha! from the National Geographic [View All]

Cover: WAS DARWIN WRONG?

Turn to the story: NO.

I haven't read the entire article yet, but it looks to be a very cogent defense. Won't turn any hard-core fundamentalists, but as it points out, a steady 45% of Americans tell pollsters that they believe that humans were created pretty much as they are some time in the past 10,000 years, and there aren't that many fundamentalists in America. Maybe some who aren't completely clueless, just ignorant, will pick up the issue and learn something.

First the global warming issue, then this. I wonder if NG is having a reaction to having the religious right running things in DC for 4 years?

Also for map freaks, there's an insert with a new world map, with a nighttime view of the world's city lights on the reverse. First map insert since I started the subscription last Christmas.

Note: this isn't a continuation of the earlier evolution thread and flamewar. If you feel the need to sound off on your belief in creationism, do it on your own thread.
