Evolutionists ‘sully’ science
I’m not a supporter of Rick Perry, and this letter should not be construed as an endorsement of his politics or his campaign.
In your editorial of Aug. 28, you state that a belief in creationism (intelligent design) “is an affront to people of genuine faith” and a “sullying of science.” Let’s face it – creationists cannot prove their theory. They must base their belief on two things – God exists and the Bible is accurate. Archaeology and history have proven the accuracy of much of the Bible, but they can only take us back so far. There was no eyewitness to creation. It must be accepted by faith. The same is true of God. His existence must be accepted by faith.
On the other hand, there is no eyewitness account of a bunch of matter sloshing around and accidentally getting swished together and forming some sort of living organism. In fact, it can be shown to be mathematically impossible. Let’s face it – evolutionism is, at its roots, a theory that must be accepted by faith.
I challenge you to talk with scientists on both sides of this debate, and ask hard questions. Examine the evidence and you may find that is the evolutionists who are “sullying” their science.
