I don't understand why the evolution theory threatens some christians. Sure, the theory is incomplete. But, it makes sense. Evolution in no way denies or disproves God.

Better than what? Do these discussions tend to get nasty?

I need to get to bed and don't have time for a more detailed and documented response, but in short this woman has obviously been reading way too many creationist pamphlets and far too few scientific journals.
The only way that anyone can honestly claim that evolution is not as well supported as other fields of science is for them to be vastly unfamiliar with the field.

My book features lots of stories of people who have suffered career damage simply for saying that they believe that Darwinism is not true. Truely sad when speaking out against a lie causes harm to people's life. Especially in the USA.

Natural selection means that only those organisms that survive and breed leave offspring, so their traits are passed on. The author doesn't explain her objections to this observations.

Evolution is under fire? If you didn't follow American politics you would not be aware of this "controversy". There is nothing in the biological scientific literature that suggests a rethinking of the validity of evolution.

But Darwinism is more than a theory in science. It is the chief prop of an approach to science called methodological naturalism. Put simply, this approach means that law and chance are assumed to govern everything in the universe. In principle, design is ruled out. Bears repeating.

You're missing the fun on the evolution of life thread.
