Subject: RE: BS: Special thread on Evolution & religion
if evolution were irrefutable there would be no deniers of its dogma. Boy, is that sentence full of evidence that its writer has no idea what science is, so no wonder they don't understand something as fundamental as evolution. I repeat, American education is child abuse.

For starters, nothing scientific is irrefutABLE, or it isn't scientific. The thing about evolution is, no data have ever refuted it, so it's one of the strongest theories out there, along with gravity, speed of light, and other scientific certainties. What makes them certain is the tremendous lack of evidence against them, stacked up against the tremendous amount of data for them. But it remails refutable - find the preCambrian rabbit, and voila.

There ARE no scientists denying science. Only undereducated American children of christians, who were denied education because of their parents' faith and the incomprehensible US habit of allowing faith to interrupt knowledge, continue to fail to comprehend that evolution is as true as gravity or the speed of light. American education's kowtowing to faith is child abuse.

And, finally, there is no dogma involved. Nobody, not even a scientist, thinks that the Origin of Species had everything right, was inspired by the divine, or cannot be questioned and must be taken literally. Instead, the idea Darwin published has been refined and added to over the decades, we now have molecular evidence he could not have dreamed of, all of which continues to demonstrate the *fact* that life adapts through the survival of the genes that best fit the environment in which they were sexually combined.

Oh, maybe it's because it's about ess ee ex that nobody is allowed to learn about it?
