   I've said it before and I'll say again -- for the zillionth time --   
   that the factless Theory of Evolution has been kept afloat for many   
   decades ONLY because of the vested interests of its proponents.   
   <   
   Members of the scientific establishment are well aware that evolution,   
   especially so the evolution of man, is utterly impossible.   
   <   
   Yet they cannot challenge their Darwian Doctrine -- they cannot   
   even open their mouths -- for fear of jeopardizing their vested   
   interests.   
   <   
   For them to stand up against the Establishment, the scientists are   
   more than well aware that their prestigious stature in the scientific   
   community will be kaput.   
   <   
   For the zillionth time, I am accusing members of the scientific   
   establishment of being involved in deceit, deception, collusion   
   and conspiracy to keep the impossibility of the theory of evolution   
   from crumbling to dust.   
   <   
   I know this firsthand because, over these past 24 years, members of   
   the scientific establishment -- at the Smithsonian Institution and the   
   country's major universities -- have not only toyed with facts and   
   evidence but have also tampered with it.   
      
   They are an utter disgrace to science and ought to be behind bars.   
   Instead of those letters behind their names, they ought to have a   
   series of long numbers in front of them.   
   <   
   Shame, shame, a zillion times SHAME.

   > LAWYER DEFENDS INTELLIGENT DESIGN   
   <   
   By JOSEPH MALDONADO   
   For the York (Pa.) Daily Record/Sunday News   
   <   
   Sunday, May 22, 2005   
   <   
   “The social implications of Darwinism have been disastrous,” said   
   Richard Thompson, the president and chief counsel of the Thomas More   
   Law Center in Ann Arbor, Mich.   
   <   
    “Nazi Germany used Darwin to justify a master race based on the idea   
   that it’s survival of the strongest.”   
   <   
   Thompson’s perception that teaching evolution is socially destructive   
   is just one of the reasons why he volunteered to defend the Dover Area   
   School District’s school board and administration against a lawsuit   
   brought against them last December, he said.   
   <   
   Eleven parents sued the district, saying a statement issued by the   
   district to ninth-grade biology students that intended to teach   
   students that there were gaps and problems with Darwinian evolution,   
   was unconstitutional.   
   <   
   The problem, they said, was that the statement also included the   
   mention of “intelligent design theory.”   
   <   
   Intelligent design suggests that life is too complex to have evolved   
   on its own through the process of natural selection, which Darwin   
   conceived. Intelligent design suggests that all living organisms were   
   designed by a supernatural being or entity.   
   <   
   Critics say the “designer” in intelligent design is God in disguise.   
   And while many of the plaintiffs have said they have nothing against   
   God, they do have a problem with religion being taught in a secular   
   classroom funded with taxpayer money that comes from people of all   
   faiths or no faith at all.   
   <   
   A decision made by Dover’s board Oct. 18 authorized a curriculum   
   change that makes specific mention of intelligent design.   
   <   
   Repeatedly since October, board members such as Alan Bonsell, William   
   Buckingham and Sheila Harkins have said intelligent design is   
   legitimate science and has nothing at all to do with God. But if that   
   is true, opponents of the curriculum change ask, then why has Thompson   
   volunteered to defend the board?   
   <   
   Thomas More’s Web site states the group is “dedicated to the defense   
   and promotion of the religious freedom of Christians, time-honored   
   family values and the sanctity of human life.”   
   <   
   The reason Thompson said he took on the case is because Christians,   
   including himself, support intelligent design.   
   <   
   “And because Christians support it, the ACLU wants it out of the   
   classroom,” Thompson said. “(Thomas More) is like the anti-ACLU.”   
   <   
   Evolution, which is the current state standard for biological science   
   in Pennsylvania, has positive implications for atheists in America,   
   Thompson said. “But anything that has a positive implication for   
   Christians is not OK,” he added. “That’s discrimination.”   
   <   
   When the case comes to trial in mid- to late September, Thompson said,   
   intelligent design’s links to creationism won’t matter because his   
   experts will prove that intelligent design is good science.   
   <   
   “We have credible scientists on both sides of the issue who will say   
   that the one-minute statement does a good service for students,”   
   Thompson said. “The statement has already been read once and the roof   
   didn’t cave in.”   
   <   
   But Vic Walczak, ACLU attorney for the plaintiffs, said Thompson’s got   
   nothing.   
   <   
   “Nothing gets my fires burning faster than the way the ACLU is   
   associated with liberal causes,” he said. “We are defenders of   
   constitutional freedoms for people of all religions, including   
   Christians.”   
   <   
   He cited cases last year in which the ACLU supported an Amish fight   
   for horse and buggy rights in Cambria County, a black church near   
   Pittsburgh that had zoning problems with a local government, and a   
   woman in Beaver County who needed counseling but insisted that it be   
   Christian counseling.   
   <   
   “Thompson said we interfere with the rights of people to worship,”   
   Walczak said. “But the truth is Thomas More, and others like them, are   
   trying to impose their religious views, symbols and prayers on   
   everyone.”   
   <   
   Thompson said that while schools are not allowed to teach origins of   
   life, biblical or otherwise, intelligent design will lead students to   
   wonder where life comes from.   
   <   
   Members of Dover’s school board have said the “designer” could be   
   anything, including an alien.   
   <   
   “But for many, the answer will be God,” Thompson said. “And it’s that   
   connection that certain people have problems with.”   
   <   
   People such as Walczak.   
   <   
   “Once you strip away all the rhetoric you are not left with science,”   
   he said. “You are left with something that closely resembles   
   creationism. And that does not belong in any science classroom.”   
   <   
   ==================================================   
   >   
   If the courageous Dover school board, needs any assistance   
   that I can provide, they only need holler "Help!." I think I'm   
   only about 60-70 miles away.
