In his novel "Candide", Voltaire made fun of early modern philosophy, by creating the philosopher Pangloss who believed that we live in "the best possible world" and that everything that happens is "for the best".

I see similarity in the modern approach to evolution. Everything that has happened over the course of billions of years is because of evolution. It is the magic explanation for everything. And it's all good. Cancer? That's evolution! And it's a toolkit! We're lucky to have it! Really!

Pollyanna science -- they've hitched their wagon to evolution and now must constantly invent evidence that it is real and good.

I personally believe that Genesis is true but I also believe in an old Earth. I know it’s complicated but it makes sense to me.

As far as using the theories of evolution for the study of biology, well, it is a successful approach in general. When God created man and every other creature, he used the same tool box.

Let me put it in non-evolutionary terms ~ GOD created cancer. Now live with it!

First creationists say evolution has no place in modern science, predicts nothing, helps nothing. Then when evolution is used to try to cure disease you say it's suddenly a magic explanation for everything. News flash, evolution is widely used in science. Most successful theories are.
