Kevin Padian - Kevin Padian is a professor at the University of California at Berkeley and curator of the Museum of Paleontology on evolution and faith.
An excellent discusion between two highly credible representatives generating plenty of energy but without the usual spears, arrows, sparks and barbs. It was more like a chess game than a conflagration. Check the links to see Kevin Padian's testimony at the Dover Pa. trial. All in all the discussion leads down a middle road of evolution with the washouts bridged by a god.
Mankind evolution etc. is it not a wonder that man can discuss the issue. Atheism as a word was evolve from the counter point of the god thing believers.
to whom needs enemies, not out of believe but pure
greed and resentment that other human beings are different and can free from such pragmatic order.
