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| Support withdrawn from ideas such as Lamarckism.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 |
| Every new fossil discovered tests evolution. | Makes testable predictions |
| Explains how natural selection is a form of design. | Explains irreducible complexity |
| Helping in fight against drug resistance disease | Provides positive effects to society |
| Supported almost entirely adherents to the scientific method | Steps... Observation, Test, Hypothesis and Theory |
Tests of the Theory
A scientific theory must by definition be falsifiable. It must make a prediction that can be shown through observation to be right or wrong. The theory of evolution is arguably one of the most thoroughly tested theories. Every excavation into ancient rock is a fresh opportunity to disprove the theory. If a fossilized monkey were discovered in Jurassic Rock the theory of evolution would be on the block for a major revision.
