In Kansas, Darwinism Goes on Trial Once More - New York Times

my favorite quote:

"There is no science without criticism," said Charles Thaxton, a chemist and co-author of the 1984 book "The Mystery of Life's Origin: Reassessing Current Theories."

"Any science that weathers the criticism and survives is a better theory for it," Mr. Thaxton said.

so since Darwin published The Origin of Species in 1859, that apparently hasn't been enough time for it to weather criticism? or how bout that whole Scopes Monkey Trial back 80 years ago? just a thought.
