Polkinghorne

On the 8th March 2005, John Mackay, geologist, geneticist and arguably the leading scientific creationist entered into a debate with John Polkinghorne, a leading evolutionist, in front of 1,100 people in Liverpool.
John won. - John Mackay, in fact, won handsomely and the debate can even be purchased on DVD.
It is far from unusual for creationist scientists to win such debates - I have seen it myself - even in front of an audience where Christians were clearly well outnumbered.
From this we may infer that there has to be at the very minimum, an acceptable scientific argument against evolution.
Richard Milton is an Msc who has written several books totally debunking the evolutionary hypothesis - and as I understand it, he posesses no religious beliefs.
This is one more area where we are told that we MUST believe - in spite of, not because of, the evidence available.
The Council of Europe stated this month: " “If we are not careful,creationism could become a threat to human rights."
Excuse me! It has already been marginalised, denied the oxygen of publicity, pupils are lied to in schools and 'examples of evolution' given in schools today have ALL been rejected even by orthodox evolutionists.
Galapagos finches, peppered moths, evolution of the horse, ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, Haeckel's work, Olduvai Gorge findings, Dubois' Java Man are all still taught when having been proved emphatically not to be proofs.
And so creationism is a 'threat'? - Well yes, indeed it is. It threatens orthodox thought, vested interests and anti God philosophies.
