Evolution: 24 myths and misconceptions - life - 16 April 2008 - New Scientist: May 9, 4:14am 2 reviews evolution, science, new-scientist
http://www.newscientist.com/channel/life/dn13620?DCMP=NLC-nletter&nsref=dn13620; "Evolution is as firmly established a scientific fact as the roundness of the Earth. And yet despite an ever-growing mountain of evidence, most people around the world are not taught the truth about evolution, if they are taught about it at all. Even in the UK, the birthplace of Darwin with an educated and increasingly secular population, one recent poll suggests less than half the population accepts evolution. For those who have never had the opportunity to find out about biology or science, claims made by those who believe in supernatural alternatives to evolutionary theory can appear convincing. Meanwhile, even among those who accept evolution, misconceptions abound. Most of us are happy to admit that we do not understand, say, string theory in physics, yet we are all convinced we understand evolution. In fact, as biologists are discovering, its consequences can be stranger than we ever imagined. Evolution must be the best-known yet worst-understood of all scientific theories". New Scientist pulls out the big guns for evolution.

http://www.newscientist.com/channel/being-human/dn13040-why-pregnant-women-do...; "Women do not tip over during pregnancy because their spines are built differently from men's - and have been ever since our ancestors began walking upright. The difference allows a pregnant woman to lean backward to counterbalance the weight of her developing fetus."

EVOLUTION: God as Genetic Engineer -- Carroll 316 (5830): 1427 -- Science: Jun 14, 2007 5:25pm 4 reviews evolution, science, intelligent-design, id, michael-behe
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/316/5830/1427; "The continuing futile attacks by evolution's opponents reminds me of another legendary confrontation, that between Arthur and the Black Knight in the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The Black Knight, like evolution's challengers, continues to fight even as each of his limbs is hacked off, one by one".

"The "no transitional fossils" argument and the "designed genes" model have been cut clean off, the courts have debunked the "ID is science" claim, and the nonsense here about the edge of evolution is quickly sliced to pieces by well-established biochemistry. The knights of ID may profess these blows are "but a scratch" or "just a flesh wound," but the argument for design has no scientific leg to stand on".
