Evolution vs Creationism

[scotus]

Evolution is a theory based on analysis of evidence. However, like any theory it would be possible to analyse the evidence while arriving at an alternative explanation.

To be honest I find the zealots on both sides of this arguement equally ridiculous and annoying.

Well, like I say, evolution is a model. Models work to a degree only. By their nature they are imperfect.

The question is not is it right or wrong. The question is does it help us, and it does. It enables us to make predictions.

If we find a better model, one that is more accurate, then we will use that instead.

But creationism does not help us at all

Well, I thought that was the case,but I could be wrong. I will need to check.

The other two are Einstein and Marx

I find these sort of comments annoying? what are you suggesting?

I thought it was a fair question. Maybe it was a bit too pedantic.

Come on H, it was a joke. NGAN really doesn't like comments about Darwin either, thats all. Gosh, have you had a bad sunday?
