Sangria and Dinosaur bones

And yet still more on a fossilized bone to pick.

Both sides of the Darwinism vs. creationism (intelligent design) use material arguments (evidence) for their conjecture on the how and or who created existence. Because they see this evidence as a defense for thinking/theory/story of how the world works, they argue over fossils and what they mean. How about instead of using the media to drag public debate into a "who thinks right or better" contest in which both sides ruin ancient history and science with their non-sense, both sides just shut up and agree to disagree and leave bananas, and science, and dinosaur bones alone and let them be the amazing things they are without your lousy debate. You don't need the ancient past, or Plank's constant to justify your beliefs, just go believe them and shut up. If any of it was self evident or true we wouldn't need your books and radio interviews, and attempts to change/uphold state laws in order to 'believe' them.

On a side note to Expelled, its producers, fans, and Ben Stein: Science is a tough fucking field. There is evidence for all kinds of very valid theories that disagree/depart with the accepted models of the biology, psychology, physics, etc... and you know what? Those scientists get laughed at, ridiculed, fired, and remain unpublished. They have to deal just like your scientists who study theories of intelligent design. I love physics, but I'm not stupid enough to try form a career in it with my own theories on the nature of the universe. Do I still write those theories down on my own and work on them from time to time? Sure. Do I whine that all of science is out to get me because I believe we are pan-dimensional protrusions into this universe from another when the two universes collided? No.

Welcome to the real world.

Cheers!
