Jerry Coyne Gives a Brief Primer on Evolution vs. Intelligent Design

Jerry Coyne is a respected Professor of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Chicago who has been active in following the Intelligent Design movement. Prof. Coyne recently gave a talk at The Rockefeller University on evolution, creationism, and Intelligent Design that I highly recommend to anyone interested in the topic. He gives brief examples of problems for the traditional creation ex nihilo promoted by many evangelicals, and then goes into the various problems with Intelligent Design "theory", all the while peppering in various examples of the facts in support of evolution.

I can't fathom how someone can just ignore facts like that. There is more data to back up Evolution than Relativity.
