Evolution Schmevolution

By PZ Myers

[This is going to be good](http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/09-07-2005/0004102163&EDATE=):

Science vs. Religion. Evolution vs. Creation. It is an age-old battle whose time has come. "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" will gather together all the experts (or at least those who will talk to them), travel to the places that matter in the debate (basic cable budget permitting) and ultimately settle the controversy once and for all. "Evolution Schmevolution: A Daily Show Special Report" will premiere on Monday, September 12 and air nightly at 11:00 p.m. through September 15.

For one full week, "The Daily Show" goes in-depth, around, through and quite possibly under, one of the hottest hot-button issues facing our nation: evolution. It's the accepted theory on the origin of life by an overwhelming majority of the world's biologists, but maybe they're all wrong. What's so great about the scientific method anyway?

I'm going to be watching my television every night next week…except that I'm going to be in New York on Thursday. I wonder if I can get in to see it directly?

The series is running on basic cable through Thursday. If you don't have cable, or are living in one of those countries that doesn't get obscure American comedy programs, you can watch [clips of the programs online](http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_daily_show/videos/most_recent/index.jhtml).
