"Evolutionary theory does not say what is right and what is wrong, but merely what has happened." -- Marty Leipzig

That is not to say that evolutionary theory cannot or will not be replaced with something better some day: that can still happen, though it is extreamly unlikely. But whatever may replace contemporary evolutionary theory will have to include the fact that evolution occured and occurs. Evolution is a fact: evolutionary theory describes that fact. The two (evolution and evolutionary theory) are not the same thing.

I have 27,295 text files on my home computer that discourse on the sciences, the humanities, politics, social sciences, art, music. 8.45 per cent of them (2,307 files) relate only to the evolutionary sciences and the anti-science, anti-intellectual dogma called "Creationism." It is therefore not easy to select which ones to present on my WWW site, considering the limit on disk space allotted to me. Therefore this note: the subject is no where near adequately discussed on this, Shy David's WWW site! The Talk.Origins Archive is the place to go for anyone interested in this subject. The Talk Origins Archive web server includes a search engine for their site, to allow viewers to quickly find what they are looking for. Or read the newsgroup talk.origins.

  "In case you've forgotten, every modern medical 'miracle' has been the direct result of the study of evolution. Millions of people are alive and healthy because of the work evolutionists have done and are doing. "The 'study' of Creationism hasn't added a single thing to our understanding of the natural world. It cannot, because it is based on a faulty premise: a fairy tale meant to give one the warm and fuzzies rather than an understanding of reality." --- John Musselwhite
