Evolution's critics dismissed too glibly

Jack DeBaun (July 28) dismisses his critics too glibly. Labeling the letters of others as "misstatements" doesn't make it so. And not everyone who opposes evolution is a creationist. Any intelligent person who examines macroevolution carefully can see its defects. It has not been proven by the scientific method, because it is not observable nor replicable. Right from the beginning, macroevolutionists fabricated conclusions and tried to massage the data (and in some cases just made it up) to fit those conclusions. They are the ones practicing "pseudoscience."

The crux of the fight in the schools is that evolutionists don't want macroevolution examined critically. People will find out that it is macroevolutionists who have "distorted the facts" in an attempt to shore up a theory that gets weaker with every new scientific discovery in the related fields. They are the ones blocking science.

It is not the teaching of Intelligent Design that is sought in the public schools. No, reformers just want evolutionary theory examined for its flaws instead of being taught unquestionably.

Evolutionists are so terrified of this possibility they lie to prevent it. "Leading Darwinist educator" Eugenie Scott recently retracted the three lies she told to obstruct a curriculum that introduced the weaknesses of Darwin's theory, without presenting religious content. Scott is executive director of the organization recommended, the National Center for Science Education. Since the head of this organization lied to protect evolutionary theory, it is probably not the place to seek the truth.
