always am cynical and skeptical about the news being reported anyway.

The site you cite (no pun intended) is a highly partisan religious site from the extreme edge of religion, masquerading as something serious -- but immediately starting off with presumptive statements which they cannot source to reasonably high ranking persons within the administration of the BBC and for which they provide no independent evidence, other that their OWN preference [unspoken but evident] for some form of ID or Creationism.
As a person of faith let me tell you that many, many, many people of faith do NOT accept ID or Creationism, and do accept Evolution as the source of life of earth as we know it. Given things like the development of HIV and SARS (both within the last 100 years) which occurred by mutation and survival of the fittest -- it seems that the mechanisms of Evolution DEMONSTRABLY work exactly as advertised. Likewise, I would point to the existence in both Spain and India of persons with 6 perfectly working fingers on each hand -- something which, over time in an environment that does not select to "purify" the race by killing these perfectly normal people -- will lead to, in perhaps 10 to 20 thousand years -- the human race being six fingered, and five fingered persons existing only as genetic throwbacks. Again, the very ESSENCE of what evolution proposes, in action. We are literally all, always, transition species.
As for the BBC -- it is far and away the most unbiased and scientifically advanced news source in the world. It compares very well indeed to a website where the only advanced ability demonstrated seems to be the ability of its programmers to copy and modify coding.

A leaked report from a special meeting of BBC bosses plus Radio and T.V presenters revealed that the corporation is run by trendy Liberals who are against Christianity according to a Sunday Mail report.
At the secret meeting last month BBC executives admitted the corporation is dominated by homosexuals and people from ethnic minorities, the document also revealed that the BBC deliberately promotes multiculturalism and is anti-American and nearly everyone at the summit would allow the Bible to be thrown into the wastebin on a comedy show but not the Koran for fear of offending Muslims.

After looking at the site you posted I believe the BBC is perpetuating a new 'religion', that of embellished Darwinism. I am not saying that I think Darwin was wrong, I am saying that today, people take his theory and embellish it into a myth that equals any other myth, including the ones about 'God'.
I am an American.

If you think shows discussing our knowledge of evolution are fake and won't watch them there are lots of others you are going to have to start boycotting then. Discovery frequently airs wonderful shows on evolution, PBS's Nature program discusses evolution often, the Nature Channel, Animal Planet, etc...
Evolution is the accepted theory by over 99% of earth and life scientists by last poll. Findings of the past few years continue to support the theory of evolution and advance our understanding. I enjoy programs like this that keep me up to date.

Reading half a page of your article exposed me to three logic errors and a couple of false analogies.
I think I will gamble on the BBC, and with people who are at least willing to put their name with their statements, instead of a creationist propaganda page with no accreditation whatsoever.

And you are what now? A fringe creationist Muslim. Don't be silly. You can't judge a news station for using what is commonly accepted by science for the purposes of understanding the world.

"Z", that's all creationist pap. Every single point in that article has been trashed by science. I have no idea what makes people think that the repetition of nonsense will somehow elevate it to "reasonable." It doesn't.
