The following seemed to be something worth pointing out. The link (and complete text) was posted at the Yahoo Group
Evolution versus Creationism.
As this is in the "Links and Information" forum, this is not a debate topic. I guess if someone wishes to debate the matter, it can be moved to the "Miscellaneous Topics in Creation/Evolution" forum.

My God Problem
by Natalie Angier
The following article is from Free Inquiry magazine, Volume 24, Number 5.
In the course of reporting a book on the scientific canon and pestering hundreds of researchers at the nation's great universities about what they see as the essential vitamins and minerals of literacy in their particular disciplines, I have been hammered into a kind of twinkle-eyed cartoon coma by one recurring message. Whether they are biologists, geologists, physicists, chemists, astronomers, or engineers, virtually all my sources topped their list of what they wish people understood about science with a plug for Darwin's dandy idea. Would you please tell the public, they implored, that evolution is for real? Would you please explain that the evidence for it is overwhelming and that an appreciation of evolution serves as the bedrock of our understanding of all life on this planet?
