Evolution and science

Evolution and science have some things in common, but otherwise are in conflict on several points. Darwinists say that the theory of evolution is scientific and that no other theory is worthy of consideration. This in itself is anti-scientific, because science has always progressed by exposing every existing theory to criticism and testing and welcoming any new theory which can explain known phenomena.

Here is a table of Liberal claims about evolution, contrasted with what science actually knows.

Evolution Science
Adherents demonize their critics instead of taking objections seriously Scientific theories must withstand scrutiny
There is little consensus on how evolution occurred Scientific theories must command the consensus of the scientific community
Relies for support on fraud and hoaxes Scientific method systematically roots out fraud
Metaphysical research program Makes testable predictions
Cannot explain irreducible complexity, such as bacterial flagellum Explains irreducible complexity
Leads to negative social effects, such as Nazism Provides positive effects to society
Supported almost entirely by liberals and atheists Doesn't depend on ideology
