I believe she took first prize for that! Here is a link that would do some of the luddites on this thread some good, were they not in full headlong flight from this wonderful life! Lines of evidence: The science of evolution At the heart of evolutionary theory is the basic idea that life has existed for billions of years and has changed over time. Overwhelming evidence supports this fact. Scientists continue to argue about details of evolution, but the question of whether life has a long history or not was answered in the affirmative at least two centuries ago. The history of living things is documented through multiple lines of evidence that converge to tell the story of life through time. In this section, we will explore the lines of evidence that are used to reconstruct this story. These lines of evidence include: Fossil evidence Homologies Distribution in time and space Evidence by example

In Texas, Creationism almost made it into the curriculum. This is frightening--truly, it is... huffingtonpost.com FEBRUARY 4 DEBATE! Bill Nye is set to debate evolution with the founder of Kentucky's Creation Museum on Feb. 4, and the Science Guy is clear about what he thinks of creationism. It frightens him. On Jan. 21, Nye talked with HuffPost Live's Josh Zepps about why he feels so strongly about dispelling the notion that creationism is a reasonable alternative to evolution. "It's a deep concern," Nye said. "If the United States produces a generation of science students who don't believe in science, that's troublesome." The debate has drawn criticism from secular advocate Dan Arel, who wrote that "scientists should not debate creationists. Period." While Nye acknowledged that he probably won't be able to change any creationist's mind, he said it made sense to challenge creationism in a public forum. "I want to show people that this belief is still among us. It finds its way onto school boards in the United States," he said.
