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
Support withdrawn from ideas such as Lamarckism.	Scientific theories must withstand scrutiny
Support for common descent from all scientific academies.	Scientific theories must command the consensus of the scientific community.
Exposed piltdown man as a hoax.	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
