It is so satisfying to see someone call out ID proponents on their "subterfuge" in trying to teach religion as fact. As someone who was raised in the Catholic church, I don't see how evolution is threatening to Christianity or any religion. The two are not mutually exclusive, and the physical evidence of adaptation cannot be ignored.

He didn't comment on believer-on-believer and christian-on-christian violence.

A debate like that could not take place in Europe at the beginning of the 21st century.
What an amazing personality!

AlienIquirer, you don't seem to know what a scientific theory is. You also don't seem to know what the theory of evolution describes. No-one is claiming human beings came from chimpanzees. No-one. Well, only those who don't know what evolution is. The theory of evolution is a theory. No evidence has ever been discovered that doesn't fit with the theory. Every single discovery makes the theory more precise. The mechanisms are well understood.

The artist is not a mystery. Maybe to you, but not to science.

Scientists should call it the Art of Evolution, not the theory of evolution.

Atomic theory is knowledge that can be producted here and now. Water boils at 212 degrees farenheit. I can do that in my kitchen as well as in the laboratory. The theory is true.

Evolution theory cannot be used to produce a chimpanzee to man. Are there experiments today trying to change a chimpanzee into man?

Evolution is not a theory. It is conjecture by overwhelming circumstantial evidence. Prove evolution is real by creating a man from a chimp. The hell with your proof about evolution of fruit flies or flowers.

We are here by a stroke of art.

The artist is a Mystery.

Amen to that! He dissected the topic of evolution and education in US very well and I have to agree with him on pretty much everything he said. I found the sentence "God likes matter, He invented it" particularly good to end the the speech. Thanks!
