Schoch, Bauval and Hancock, with links to sites offering rebuttals to some of
the views. He takes an objective examination of the critiques which have been
raised by against Schoch's hypothesis by both Egyptologists and geologists (including links to two recent articles by thegeologist Colin Reader who disagrees with Schoch but who also argues for a pre-Fourth Dynasty date for the Great Sphinx), and provides a summary of an interview with Schoch.Creationism

Why fight for strong evolutionary science standards ?, by Patricia Princehouse Antievolution and Creationism in the United States, by Dr Eugenie C. Scott (originally published in the journal Annual Review of Anthropology, Vol. 26. (1997), pp. 263-289) Starting with the rejection by a district court and subsequent removal of the "evolution is just a theory" stickers in Cobb County, 2006 proved to be a watershed year against Intelligent Design proponents. It was followed by the famous Dover (America) trial, in which Judge Jones found ID to be religion masquerading as science in an attempt to illegally teach religion in school science classrooms. The NCSE has a news archive of all the major important events of 2006 in America. Judge Jones's ruling is online at http://www.pamd.uscourts.gov/kitzmiller/kitzmiller_342.pdf. Alec MacAndrew has a concise, but very detailed, page at http://www.evolutionpages.com/Intelligent%20Design.htm explaining what Intelligent Design is.

A different kind of Transitional, by Alec MacAndrew: Transitionals are usually regarded as extinct fossil species that occupy a space between major groups and which represent the process of transition between these groups. So, for example, the transition between marine and land vertebrates is represented wonderfully by a number of clear transitionals such as Acanthostega gunnari, Ichthyostega , Tulerpeton, Pederpes finneyae and Tiktaalik (see also Jennifer Clack’s superb book on the marine:land transition, Gaining Ground). Transitionals are, of course, not just represented in fossils – all species are in transition between the ancestral form from which they came and the evolved form to which they are headed. A recent paper in Science (Nakabichi et al, Science 314, 267) seems to me to represent a different sort of transition in action.
