SCIENCE/CREATION DEBATE

I would agree with the sentiment here in that reducing the issue to debate
is to
obscure the issue itself. With "debate" the dialogue is about convincing an
audience based on the ability to present a sufficiently "convincing" rhetoric.
If feel that much of the way evolution is taught and presented is a form
of rhetoric that contributes to the debate mentality at the expense of
presenting
evolution as a scientific research program with certain methodological
principles
that lead to the discovery of new facts.

(But I liked the rhetoric Lammers presented)
