The National Center for Science Education, whose mission is to defend the teaching of evolution in public schools, recently published a review of the film Darwin: The Voyage that Shook the World. The review was written by John Lynch, an evolutionary biologist and historian of science, and Jim Lippard, a student, both at Arizona State University. Aside from misrepresenting science, the review also misrepresents my views and contribution to the film. Lynch and Lippard write:  Read more

Dr. Hunter, I think you, or someone, may want to do a blog post on this: Besides multiple layers of 'classical information' embedded in overlapping layers throughout the DNA, there has now been discovered another completely different layer of 'quantum information' embedded throughout the DNA: Quantum Information In DNA & Protein Folding – video http://www.metacafe.com/watch/5936605/ Exactly what is this 'quantum' layer of information doing? Something tells me this 'quantum' layer of information deeply important on many different levels. I would hope you could shed a little more light on this mystery.bornagain77

Are you seriously suggesting that a Darwinist misrepresented the position of an ID advocate. Perish the thought. Why, that's unimaginable!! Surely it must be Dr. Hunter who misread Lynch, for it could never be that a Darwinist would misunderstand or misrepresent the position of an evolution critic. The very idea is unthinkable!

Dr. Hunter and Ms. O'Leary, I don't know if this article will make you laugh, cry, become angry, or all three: Religion no excuse for promoting scientific ignorance - Lawrence M. Krauss http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20927986.300-religion-no-excuse-for-promoting-scientific-ignorance.htmlbornagain77

Wowza! If Lynch really implied that Hunter thinks that Darwin's project was not essentially religious, he not only isn't a good historian of science, he isn't much of a reader or listener either. Everyone who follows the story knows that Hunter is the House Bore on this very subject. I suspect, however, that years of distorting all kinds of things could play Darwin lobbyists false.O'Leary
