'''Evolutionism is More Vulnerable than Ever'''

The recent (April 18, 2008) release of [[Ben Stein]]'s new documentary, ''[[Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed]]'', has brought the [[evolution]]/[[creation]] debate to a fever pitch&mdash;possibly the highest fever pitch since [[Scopes Trial|Tennessee vs. John Scopes]]. Indeed, the recent move of the [[Institute for Creation Research]] and its [[ICR Graduate School|graduate school]] from [[California]] to [[Texas]] has actually prompted the higher-education authorities in that State to take the unusual step of inviting [[ICR Graduate School#Texas Relocation|public comment]] on an application for accreditation&mdash;almost a "Scopes Trial in reverse."

All this extra attention can mean only one thing: the evolutionary paradigm is more vulnerable to abandonment than it has been since [[Charles Darwin]] first proposed it.
