Quote:State school board race evolves into debate over science
(By Katie Byard, Akron Beacon Journal, August 25, 2006)
Owens Fink calls Princehouse, Krauss and other scientists supportive of Sawyer ``members of the dogmatic scientific community'' who want to stifle discussion about ``the strengths and weaknesses of evolutionary theory.''
Strengths of evolutionary theory:
* The only scientific theory which explains biological conditions
* Highly predictive, with confirmed results
* Supported through mutually corroborative multi-disciplinary evidence
* Economically functional in medical and agricultural sciences
* Proven to be a fact, way beyond any reasonable doubt
Weaknesses of evolutionary theory:
* None
I think creationists are confusing "weaknesses" with "lack of detail". I don't know of any real "weakness" in evolutionary theory (at least none that are valid... we've seen tons of bogus arguments from creationists, but no valid complaints yet).
