Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. (JN 8:32)
Creationists all over the country are trying to push creationism into schools and package it as science under the guise of Intelligent Design. The National Center for Science Education is here to put out those fires and keep religion out of our public school science classrooms.
We are here to call out Ben Stein and his ludicrous ideas that are the spotlight of his new movie Expelled, about Intelligent Design. Expelled is a manipulation of lies that repackages religious creationism as Intelligent Design and teaches it as science in public schools. We must stand up to keep religion out of our public schools' science education.

"...more like a religion of threats and torture."
And ignorance, bigotry, and fear.
"Church Sign Links Obama with Osama bin Laden"
Typical Christians.
Imagine trillions and trillions of years in a boring heaven. Then another trillion years, then another.
Who could wish for such a disgusting never ending existence? Who could believe in this childish nonsense?
The problem with Christians is they never think. They never have an original idea. Their lives are just blind obedience to their religious brainwashing, never questioning anything no matter how insane it is.
"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms."
-- Albert Einstein
Why do Christians feel they always must suppress different viewpoints?
For example my comments were "Flagged as inappropriate" as if there is something inappropriate about telling the truth.
Here it is again:
Heaven = wild guessing + wishful thinking
No free exchange of ideas here.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure DNA evolved later. The first life had to be pretty darn simple. I hope you try that UK website. I visit there often and would be pleased to see your question there.
"Can you explain to me how those first cells came about?"
No. I sure can't do that. Heck, it's obvious you know more about it than I do.
I highly recommend this place: http://www.askabiologist.org.uk/
Ask any question. It goes into a queue and soon one or more biologists answers it for everyone to read. They would be glad to answer your question the best they can. If they don't know or if they are not sure, they will tell you that.
I feel sorry for the person whose faith is so weak he deleted another person's opinion.
This is what he or she deleted:
Heaven = wild guessing + wishful thinking.

Eternity is a long time. After the first trillion years, and the knowledge it will never end, a person certainly could become extremely bored. Not something I would wish for. I thank goodness I accept reality. I know I have only one life, so I don't have to worry about eternal boredom.
tarzan, "Theist and atheist scientists accept the same scientific facts, including evolution." is correct. Visit any science blog if you don't believe me. You will find both atheists and theists who love evolution. Only some non-scientists have a problem with evolution. There is an extremely small minority of religious biologists who have a problem with evolution but they are much less than 1% of all religious biologists. The most famous religious scientists who accept evolution are Miller and Collins but there's thousands more where they came from.
I can't repeat often enough that ID is not scientific and that's why religious scientists reject it.
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
