People of faith would be better off if they would try to incorporate scientific understanding into their spiritual lives. Our beautiful world is not flat. The earth is not the center of the universe. The earth is much older than 6,000 years. Like evolution, these facts should not threaten your faith. The science is not in error, merely the narrowest views of god that cannot coexist with scientific discovery.

From my understanding of it (which is admittedly quite limited), the science at the core of evolution is SHAKY AS HELL.
For instance, name me one time in human history that an actual evolutionary cycle has been documented as it happened.
Just one will do.
BTW, Scientists have just recently found out that they were completely wrong about what all life evolved from. They thought it was the simple sponge. Now, they think it was some jellyfish type creature.
I suspect they have no clue whatsoever, and are only guesstimating based on their extremely limited knowledge.
BTW, the absolute vitriol that some of you display merely SERVES to support the premise of Stien's movie...that scientific types that don't like to be disagreed with simply resorted to name calling and insults to silence their opposition.
Science has done the same MANY times in the past wrt many, many theories, only to end up looking EXTREMELY stupid for doing so at a later date becuase- yep- it turned out they were waaaaay off base about some given theory or another.
IMO, scientist circles are among the most vindictive and petty types of groups around.
So please, someone show me a species that has been OBSERVED to evolve in some semi-controlled environment.
