Darwinists Build Strawman

LiveScience.com seems to have gotten a little ahead of themselves in an article out yesterday that is quickly spreading all over the web.

Scientists have apparently discovered and explained how bees fly, so Live Science took it upon themselves to create the myth that Intelligent Design advocates claimed that science couldn't do this. But not only does the LiveScience not provide a quote from any known Creationist or Intelligent Design supporter saying anything like that, they don't provide one shred of evidence of that being anyone's position. They just simply build the whole article around knocking down their own strawman, without being held accountable to prove it. They don't even provide a single comment from those they chose to rail against.

Creation - Evolution Headlines (a recommended daily reader) exposes, in detail, what LiveScience tried to pull.

Interesting excerpt from the LiveScience article:

The scientists said the findings could lead to a model for designing aircraft that could hover in place and carry loads for many purposes...

Why is that necessary? Just wait for that type of aircraft to evolve... right? (/sarcasm)

This also reminded me of another post by Creation - Evolution Headlines from February of last year, explaining the navigation of honeybees, based on this article from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Scientists discovered that scout honeybees do a "waggle dance" that dishes out information about the "direction to the food relative to the sun, the distance, and the food quality."

I say: Evolve That!

Of course this is just one of many millions of examples of "How could they evolve by chance something so necessary to their existence? Wouldn't they need it to be already in place." (Read up on Dolphins, Bats, Narwhales, Butterflies... anything really, for many more similar examples.

The bottom line is that no one explained evolution here. No one even tried! They simply said that because they can explain the way bees fly, they have dealt some blow to ID... how exactly? I bet science can explain how a plane engine works, right? But does that suddenly mean that it evolved?

Creation - Evolution Headlines links to hundreds of similar stories from all the leading science publications. Often they are articles that go in to detail about the complexity and design of the most microscopic of building blocks of life, don't attempt to explain how such complexity could evolve, but call it a victory for Darwin.

As I said, make it a daily read, but manually set up your bookmark link with this URL: http://creationsafaris.com/crevnews.htm , because it redicrects you to the most recent area when you follow it.
