Right after watching "Judgement Day: Intelligent Design on Trial", Karen and I watched this video called, "The Science of Evolution." It was a companion video to the book "Intelligent Design vs. Evolution, Letters to an Atheist." I knew this was going to be an ID sided video but I never expected it to be so absolutely ridiculous. The only thing this video proved was that Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort have no idea how to appeal to someone like myself. Nor Karen as she was somewhat embarrassed by the video.

I haven't decided if Kirk Cameron needed someone with more experience than himself to spread his christianity so he teamed with Ray Comfort or if Ray Comfort wasn't being listened to so he needed a friendly face to spread his christianity so he teamed with Kirk Cameron. If you've watched any of their videos or interviews you would see they use more "what if scenarios" than anyone else. The painting must have had a painter or the evolution of the Coke can.

There was no science in this video at all. They spent most of their time playing with an Orangutan or asking college students (who weren't studying evolution) about evolution.

The common truth in the video was that most college students believe in evolution because it's well proven and taught scientific theory. Regardless of their religious beliefs.

The video attempts to prove that we didn't evolve from any of the great primates because they still live among us. If they understood evolution at all they would know that whatever great primates we evolved from would no longer exist, because we're it. That also means that the other great primates have themselves evolved over millions of years.

If any religious group attaches the words "evolution" or "theory" to creationism or intelligent design they are misleading you on purpose. They need you to think the way they do.

I don't want you to think the way I do, I just want you to think.

Recently monkeys were observed sharpening sticks to catch food. I don't know why this monkey is hairless but he certainly resembles man. Maybe in a few million years chimps will be where we are today. Our intervention in their natural evolution may accelerate their ability to learn.

I watched this movie last night with Karen. I made popcorn and sat down with Karen to watch it. When I pressed play, Karen says, "What's this?" I explained that I thought It would be interesting because I definitely wanted to see it. Her hesitation is that I'm trying to gather ammo against her belief of God. That was not the case at all.

So we watched the entire thing, with lots of pausing to comment on different part of the movie. I can see where ID proponents would try and say this movie was bias but the facts are there for those who want to make their own opinion. It wasn't bias. In fact it showed what both sides offered entirely.

I recommend this movie to anyone who has a struggle with their faith and evolution. It shows how a little town's school board tried to circumvent the constitution.
