Tips for evolutionists

Steve Rose, Chairman of The Sun Newspapers, offers his 10 tips for evolutionists. (Well, it's 10 in octal...)

These are, briefly:

...continued in full post...

  1. Pick one evolution expert in each state, a highly credentialed scientist, who can speak in understandable English to the average person and make sense.
  2. ...[S]top appearing at stacked-deck public "hearings" put on by creationists to trap evolutionists. Don't grant them the dignity of taking them seriously.
  3. Rename the theory of evolution the "law of evolution." It's as well established as anything else that's called a "law".
  4. Rename intelligence design "intelligent design faith." After all, there's no supporting science. All ID/IOT can do is try to poke holes in the real science. It is, literally, "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
  5. Admit that God may have designed evolution. This is, by the way, why the older theories are called "laws". Natural philosophers believed they were working out the laws by which God worked when He created the world. Indeed, Dennis Prager claims this would be enough to end the matter as far as he's concerned. We may not even need to begin every research paper in all of biological science with the phrase "By the grace of God, the following observations were made."
  6. Take physical evidence out on road shows.
  7. Fight this in the courts...
  8. Or evolutionists can just accept the fact that they will not survive and evolve to a new occupation. Of course, if science abandons evolution, people will die.
