== Usage in Creation/Evolution Debate ==
The law of the excluded middle is invoked in the creation/evolution debate.
Evolutionists sometimes attempt to dismiss counter-evidence to evolution and abiogenesis, claiming that this should not be taken as evidence for special creation. Creationists point out that either life either began naturally or supernaturally; there is no middle option. This means that evidence against the naturalistic explanation (evolution) is necessarily evidence in favour of the supernatural explanation (creation).
