> I have written repeatedly that the theory of evolution is an exercise in...IMAGINATION.

QAll science is based on the ability to imagine. That's the first step in producing a hypothesis. Sadly, too many people either cannot imagine, and thus stick with the dogmas that were pounded into them, or they cannot constrain their imagination within reality, and become New Agey goofballs. Science lies in between.

> It is in fact, ANTI-science

Wrong. Imagination is vital to science. Without it, no progress is possible.

Imagination is NOT science. It is helpful to science certainly but imagination is equally useful in poetry, art, sculpture or even cooking. Science is based on proof, not on imagination. You cannot postulate an entire theory of creation on imagination and call it science. That is both ridiculous and factually incorrect.
