“The View” on Evolution

While I have never watched the show called “The View”, it tends to get more than its share of media coverage considering its ratings, and evolution was an item on it this week.

Here are two recent news items concerning that:

Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Joy Behar got into a row over whether creationism should be taught in schools alongside the theory of evolution. (Guess who’s pro-creationism? And so, for the record, is Sherri Shepherd.) When Behar said that refusing the teach evolution in some schools amounted to “child abuse,” Hasselbeck went semi-ballistic. Joy: “I stand by my statement.” Elizabeth retorted, “I stand on your statement!” Huh?? http://watching-tv.ew.com/2009/05/the-view-donald.html

05/06/09 AOL Headline: Joy Gets Heated Over Creationism. Says You Must Teach Kids Darwinism. Or It’s ‘Abuse’. Then Elisabeth Steps In.

The reality is that teaching evolution as anything but a historical hypothesis is damaging to students.

In the movie “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed”, Ben Stein interviewed various scientists who explained that evolution was so commonly taught despite its lack of scientific evidence. Ben Stein highlighted that those who accepted evolution were often unwilling to consider scientific explanations that differed from it. Not a particularly open-minded scientific approach.

Evolution, as the explanation for the origin of life, is unscientific and false. It also requires students to accept a belief that violates other known laws of biological science. Evolution has led to the intentional ignorance of appropriate scientific methods.

Furthermore, Darwinism leads to human abuse, in my opinion.

Those interested in the truth about evolution’s lack of scientific support may wish to read the following articles:
