Okay, I've listened to the whole thing and rather enjoyed it. Adrian, you did extremely well. I thought you were the most reasoned and intelligible one there. Kudos!
The moderator wasn’t too bad. She seemed relatively fair, for the most part. One thing she said really bothered me, though, and I wanted badly to rebut her on it. To paraphrase what she said: ‘Evolution by Natural Selection cannot be empirically proven and neither can Creationism and/or Intelligent Design, so neither should be taught as fact.’
Evolution by Natural Selection is supported by an impressive amount of demonstrable, empirical evidence. Creationism and/or Intelligent Design are not supported by any demonstrable, empirical evidence. At what point does one declare ‘proof’? There is only one intellectually honest conclusion. One is Science and the other is Dogma.
I just had to get that off my chest. Thank you and Goodnight!
