The evolution theory makes a lot of assumptions in many areas of expertise like biology, geology, etc. Not all of these evolution theories are falsifiable. Thus they delve into philosophy or logic or other rationalizations. Whatever you have against creationism, I have nothing to add.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841356013250880291.post-45792615256562674552010-08-16T10:50:56.337-07:002010-08-16T10:50:56.337-07:00Ture, she's thinking on her feet better, but s...Ture, she's thinking on her feet better, but she's coming back to the privatize SS refrain again.

It's not someone's random idea or deeply held belief; it is backed up by volumes of science, experiment and evidence that, for instance, proves easily that the Earth isn't 6000 years old. By contrast, creationism is magical thinking in every way; there's no scientific evidence supporting it. By Angle's remark, they should ALSO be teaching Scientiology's origin story in schools. Is that OK with you? Because there's as much science behind that as there is behind Genesis.David Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841356013250880291.post-38119173908689524242010-08-16T07:57:45.596-07:002010-08-16T07:57:45.596-07:00The problem with the evolution theory is that it i...The problem with the evolution theory is that it isn't purely science. It delves into philosophical issues, just like religion. At some point, it conflicts with religion and that is where we should acknowledge that evolution cannot be proven as a theory. I would prefer that evolution be taught purely as a science. In science, evolution is not a fact, as it is constantly updated with new information. Science is a moving target. Do you realize how controversial it is to merely say evolution is a theory and not a fact?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
