Congress Urges Teaching of Diverse Views on Evolution, but Darwinists Try to Deny It

After the U.S. Congress adopted a statement in December calling for students to be exposed to a diversity of views when topics “such as biological evolution” are taught, a pro-Darwin group is absurdly trying to claim victory through a creative reinterpretation of the legislative record. Eugenie Scott of the National Center for Science Education asserts that the recent statement by Read More ›

Second Thoughts about Peppered Moths

Every student of biological evolution learns about peppered moths. The dramatic increase in dark forms of this species during the industrial revolution, and experiments pointing to differential bird predation as the cause, have become the classical story of evolution by natural selection.

Meanwhile, an international group Read More ›

Until now, Ohio public schools have not mandated any direct teaching about the subject. “Standards” is the new fad sweeping across schools today, and the Ohio legislature has ordered that the Ohio Read More ›

Clinton’s Afghan Triumph?

My Beltway friend was furious. “Every cocktail party I go to, the liberals are claiming it was Bill Clinton’s military that won Afghanistan.” “Glad we go to different parties,” rejoindered I from Seattle. Then I started hearing it on television, and noticed a similar claim in, of all places, The Washington Times. According to Morton Kondracke’s column of Feb. 4, Read More ›

Shots in the Dark?

Should all children, even those with fragile and undeveloped immune systems, be subjected to multiple vaccine cocktails required in most states? According to the government and pharmaceutical companies the answer is an unqualified yes. Most states have some mandated vaccines for children, from hepatitis B to chickenpox, among other diseases. And the mainstream media has become the most vocal cheerleader for these government-mandated vaccines. Read More ›
