I was kicked back on Sunday in a big comfy chair with my copy of "The Molecular Biology Of The Cell", and flipping through T.V. channels when I came across a religious program doing a similiar thing.

This T.V evangelist was giving a credible explanation of some immune system functions, but then turned it: "How is it possible that this wonderfully complex system evolved from nothing?" The answer he said was that it could not.

This is a new and potentially dangerous thing......These people are capitalizing on peoples ignorance of basic science (like they haven't been doing that for years) and supplying their own explanation/opinion for the facts. We've seen this recently in the anti-evolutionist stance in Kansas, where people confidently remark that the evidence for evolution is wishy-washy at best, when the exact opposite is the truth.

We have to counteract this pseudoscientific masturbation
