A belief in natural selection requires a belief in evolution. Natural selection: he process by which favorable heritable traits become more common in successive generations of a population of reproducing organisms, and unfavorable heritable traits become less common. Evolution takes into account mutations, etc. Howe

Human cloning should be allowed. There is no justification for the contrary. The gov't should have no say in the matter. Scientific inquiry benefits humanity.

The use of nuclear weapons cannot be justified. Nuclear weapons are unnecessary.

Human beings are still evolving. Yes. Science suggests we are evolving faster than ever before.

There are no legitimate, scientific, and peer-reviewed "alternatives" to evolution.

The U.S. should build more nuclear power plants. Carbonyl and Three Mile Island are a thing of the past. Nuclear energy is safe. This is the 21st century and while a nuclear accident is not out of the question, the odds of such a disaster occurring is significantly lower than in the 1980's.

Scientists should pursue embryonic stem cell research.

The federal government should subsidize the creation of new stem cell lines. Quite frankly, stem cells have the potential to save lives.
