The producers of GOYS (and it's a Florida station - who could have guessed?) have graciously invited me to be the pro-evolution talking head sitting oppositve the pro-creationism talking head and I'm delighted for the opportunity. They've asked me to say a few opening words to spark some debate before the show begins and hopefully prompt a bit of chair throwing.
I don't know what arguments Mr. Hunter will be using, so I'll save those salvos for the show. Let me simply say that most of my thoughts are already available in essay form - see the link to "A Word About Intelligent Design Creationism" available here -> http://www.pandasthumb.org/archives/2007/03/a_word_about_in.html





Scientific theories are explanations that are based on lines of evidence, enable valid predictions, and have been tested in many ways. In contrast, there is also a popular definition of theory—a “guess” or “hunch.” These conflicting definitions often cause unnecessary confusion about evolution. (source)
You are using, by accident I'm sure, the wrong definition of "theory." I mean, gravity is "just a theory" too... any doubt in it? Or do you have an alternative view for this unseen force... maybe the "Intelligent Falling" theory?
