Information such as this has led to the debate about teaching intelligent design in the school science classes. The theory of evolution no longer holds water. There's way too many holes in it to consider it logical.

I especially like the part in the article about the difference between DNA material and the DNA message. Obviously intelligence placed intelligent information in the medium of DNA.

And you consider the article above to be logical? If so, I'm staggered.

Now, I would have to agree that the theory of evolution, like all scientific theories, is a work in progress. There is no end of the road in science as the quest for knowledge is never ending. It is just not a legitimate criticism of scientific knowledge to say that it is incomplete.

Yet, the theory of creationism is also "full of holes", that is to say that it fails to explain, in any way other than the circular, HUGE elements of the real world as we find it. It is not enough to say that "God just made it that way." That is not an adequate answer.

Yet, on threads like these, that argument is the one that is always resorted to. And always by people who have no trouble tossing the entire body of scientific research into the evolution of life on earth on the trash heap because some issue or another remains unexplained in full detail.

It's basically dishonest.

Evolution does not even attempt to explain where something once came from nothing. It explains the progress- this turned to this which turned to that- but not where Life began. And Evolution does not rule out God.
