Terry Kemple's arguments are not based on anything more than since he doesn't understand the concept, it can not be true and his talking points sound like the rebutall's from a 9 year old.
I would hope that even in "thick as a born again brick Tampa", we as an American society are tired of this type of reasoning as we have seen what one idiot can do to this globe if given the right platform and an American military machine.
Its time we send all the born again Christains to the lions and I say this as a devout Catholic.

On the topic, the two do not have to be mutually exclusive.  The two guests were using remarkably similar arguments to defend either side.  I would agree that looking at the wondrous awe of nature, the atom, and a strand of DNA are strong influences in defending a supreme being, but I would also say that time and habitat have an affect on a species.  The diversity of man is a good example of that.  Having said that, I would have to say that Man has always been man, and monkeys have always been monkeys as long as we have been recording history.

Neither creationism nor Darwinism has the proof to support a definitive answer.  The argument is way too similar to a political debate. They use the exact same evidence to support or defend what ever side of the isle they are on.  The existence of a walking fish does not prove the belief that we evolved from the sea.  In the same sense, the fossils of a few Neanderthal do not prove we evolved from apes.  Both do prove natural selection, but there are way too many steps missing on those paths to make any leaps.

Lastly, on the topic of evidence, Creationism is based on the belief that God created all things.  Some of those things included gravity, centrifugal force, magnetism, and the laws of physics.  To use those principles in proving evolution is to stand on top of the fence to preach your sermon.  Until there is physical evidence of God or a true missing link tells us his mother was an ape, fish, chicken, etc... the argument will rage on......  

            By the way, I am not betting on either of those happening any time soon!

I was enraged by the amount of time the "Scientist" Joe Wolf  took to try to explain the reason why Evolution is the ONLY possible theory that can be considered! In the end he did nothing more than show how limited his knowledge is of the subject. On the other hand, Mr Kemple was so upset by his inability to speak what his heart felt that it shows in his face over and over again. I feel that both sides are very important to pursue, what is Science after all than the pursuit of knowledge and truth through the process of studying a subject and testing it's validity. How do we expect to find out which Theory is the one with most substance if we do not look at them together and compare the "evidence"?

I did enjoy the program today.

What is it with the fundamentalist Christians imposing their radical religionist views on the entire population?  Intelligent Design and Creationism can be taught in a Social Studies or Comparative Religion class, NOT in a Science class.  From THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."  Practice your religion in church and NOT in Public Schools!

I was raised Catholic and had 12 years of Catholic education with Nuns and Priests.  In high school biology class 50 years ago I was taught Evolution by the Nuns.  They also explained how Catholics can accept Evolution and God.

Vatican astronomer joins evolution debate
Intelligent design isn’t science, "though it pretends to be," he says

The Vatican's chief astronomer said Friday that "intelligent design" isn't science and doesn't belong in science classrooms, the latest high-ranking Roman Catholic official to enter the evolution debate in the United States.

The Rev. George Coyne, the Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory, said placing intelligent design theory alongside that of evolution in school programs was "wrong" and was akin to mixing apples with oranges.
