My Response in Detail: And Futuymas Evolutionary Biology (3rd Edition, 1998) tells upper division and graduate students: By coupling undirected, purposeless variation to the blind, uncaring process of natural selection, Darwin made theological or spiritual explanations of the life processes superfluous. Futuyma concludes that it was Darwins theory of evolution, together with Marxs view of history and Freuds view of human nature that provided a crucial plank to the platform of mechanism and materialism that has since been the stage of most Western thought." 25 (d) According to the NCSE, my Ten Questions fail to demonstrate a pattern of evolutionary biologists misrepresenting the facts. Yet the NCSEs evasive and false answers to my questions clearly demonstrate such a pattern. The NCSEs evasions include: using major groups to denote vertebrate classes rather than animal phyla, thus side-stepping the challenge to Darwins theory posed by the Cambrian explosion; listing embryos from only one vertebrate class to give the illusion that similarities among the embryos of ALL classes provide evidence for common ancestry; and comparing staged photos of peppered moths that misrepresent the truth to historical re-enactments of events that actually happened. Furthermore, the NCSE makes numerous false claims about the scientific evidence, such as the following: the Miller-Urey experiment succeeded in showing how organic molecules might have been produced on the early Earth (it didnt); when the experiment is repeated using a more realistic mixture of gasses, it still produces most of the same building blocks (it doesnt); fish do not appear in the Cambrian explosion (they do); the early stages of vertebrate embryos are generally more similar than later stages (theyre not); and anatomical mutations in fruit flies produce novel structures that provide raw materials for evolution (they dont). The NCSE also makes statements about biology textbooks that are demonstrably false, for example: textbooks do not rely on faked embryo drawings; very few textbooks feature the four-winged fruit fly; and textbooks do not use drawings of ape-like humans in the context of promoting materialistic philosophy. Simple examination shows that many textbooks do these very things. To see a pattern of evolutionary biologists misrepresenting the facts, one needs only to read the NCSEs answers to my Ten Questions To Ask Your Biology Teacher About Evolution. http://www.evolutionnews.org/2008/08/inherit_the_spin_the_ncse_answ.html#more
