Equal-time for Dr. Buchanan
After my last post Amy suggested I take a look at a site on origin theory put up by Dr. David Buchanan, one of her former professors. I did, and found it to be a fairly well-rounded collection of links from all sides of the debate. I can't say I agree with all of the information found or linked to from that site, but it is a pretty good resource if you're wondering what the hell I keep ranting about. His "Answers to questions about evolution" page does a particularly good job of clearing up a lot of the misinformation and misconceptions that are out there.
I will say he gives the Discovery Institute and Michael Behe in particular a lot more credit than I do, but I'll chalk that one up to a less charitable inclination on my part, or perhaps more faith in human nature on his. At any rate, its worth a read, especially if you're a Christian trying to figure out how to reconcile your religious beliefs with science you think conflicts with them. Its unfortunate there aren't more scientists like him getting exposure in mainstream media outlets instead of jackasses like DI and Behe.
