Great column on Evolution - Not a science, just another religion.

(Waiting for the Darwin apologists to show up, flail their arms around, protest that evolution is a "proven fact" without offering any proof.)

I have had a question about what is called "evolution" for a long time.

In biology we are taught that species have a certain # of chromosome pairs in their DNA.

How did species evolve "naturally" and change the qty of chromosomes? How could this be?

Maybe there's an explanation, but I don't know it myself.

Anyway, I don't see "evolution" quite the way it's presented. I think it's perfectly plausible God did indeed "evolve" things - but He did it His way, either forcing His own breeding plans to happen and create new things by mutation, or even periodically creating things out of thin air while others had existed for eons, and likewise killing off some. I don't know. But I don't accept that "evolution" could happen totally w/o God's interference. Heck, I don't even know how life could start at all w/o Him.

Note that other sciences, such as astronomy and geology, even archaeology, are equally threatened by the notion that the world was created in 4004 BC

No - I don't think anyone gets too worked up by crackpots who think the world is only 6,000 years old.

Third, evolutionists are obsessed by Christianity and Creationism, with which they imagine themselves to be in mortal combat. This is peculiar to them. Note that other sciences, such as astronomy and geology, even archaeology, are equally threatened by the notion that the world was created in 4004 BC. Astronomers pay not the slightest attention to creationist ideas. Nobody does—except evolutionists.

That would be because creationists are not stupid enough to try putting teachers in jail for teaching physics.

But wait, they did burn one at the stake for saying the stars are suns like our own.

From the full article:

I bear no animus against the theory, and champion no competing creed.

Hahaha! Good one!
