Critics Want More Facts, While Darwinists Push Their Faith

Some of the "evidence" presented in Evolution is known to be false, and the remaining evidence provides surprisingly little support for Darwin's theory. In place of scientific evidence, Evolution relies on a parade of experts to assure us that Darwin had it right. Read More ›

Fatuous Filmmaking

To put the upcoming seven-part PBS series “Evolution” in perspective, think fat. Dietary fat. For decades folks in white coats have confidently assured the public that shunning fatty foods — bacon and eggs, butter, steak — would make for longer, healthier lives. Well, guess what? In “The Soft Science of Dietary Fat,” published in the March 30 issue of the Read More ›

Getting the Facts Straight

Accuracy and objectivity are what we should expect in a television documentary – especially in a science documentary on a publicly-funded network. But the PBS Evolution series falls far short of meeting these basic standards. It distorts the scientific evidence, ignores scientific disagreements over Darwin’s theory, and misrepresents the theory’s critics. The series also displays a sharply biased view of Read More ›

Darwinism in Denial?

Fifteen years or so ago, “nuclear winter” – the theory that the soot and ash of World War III could end human life by darkening the atmosphere and lowering global temperatures – enjoyed its moment in the shade. As science, nuclear winter contained more errors than my last high school chemistry test, but that didn’t deter its supporters. Psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton wrote that, even if wrong, nuclear winter “serves us well” as an “idea.” Read More ›
