$250,000 Evolution Challenge Accepted!

A long-standing offer to prove evolution has recently been accepted by John D. Callahan, a theistic evolutionist and president of Faith & Reason Ministries: Reconciling Christianity with Accepted Science, http://www.faithreason.org/ . The offer is being made by Dr. Kent Hovind, a young-Earth creationist and leader of Creation Science Evangelism, Dinosaur Adventure Land .Dr. Hovind's challenge has been a rallying cry for creationists, and he asserts few, if any, legitimate inquires have been made -- and certainly no proof. However, evolutionists contend Dr. Hovind is not open to empirical evidence and scientific method. In an open letter to Dr. Hovind, Callahan claims to concisely prove evolution consistent with belief in God.

Update: $250,000 Evolution Challenge Accepted!As of October 21, 2002 Dr. Hovind has not responded -- let alone awarded the $250,000 prize to Callahan.Maybe the check is in the mail?Maybe Dr. Hovind is waiting until he resolves his legal problems?Maybe Dr. Hovind is humbly and carefully preparing his statement to the world admitting he was wrong about evolution?Excerpt from "$250,000 Evolution Challenge Accepted!" letter:"First consider biological evolution. Besides innumerable transitional fossils -- dating billions of years to very primitive forms -- there are many living species (of the millions on Earth) and breeds that are obvious cousins and direct descendants of one another. An illustration is the domestic dog, which can produce a generation 30 times faster than man. From gray wolf populations the domestic dog has evolved (naturally and via human intervention) into dozens of species and hundreds of breeds (enormous gene pool) over the last 10,000 years. These are more than minor variations and indicative of macroevolution. Further, since a gray wolf has evolved into a pug dog, an ape has surely evolved into a Homo erectus and then a man."The letter may be viewed at http://www.faithreason.org/ .Direct link to letter is http://www.faithreason.org/farmprov.htm .
