Idea for an article Henry Dec 31, 2002
Hello.

You know, from what I've read and learned I have understood that it takes a lot of faith to believe in evolution. There are many holes in its theory. So why not have an article or two that discusses that issue. Information on your site says that there is no proof against evolution. Where is the proof for it? It's all speculation. Tell me how the eye evolved... or the ear. How can people teach evolution as fact. They have no hard evidence. They believe in evolution. They exercise faith - they make a jump - a decision - to say that they can see that in light of certain variables, x plus y should equal z. How can one who accepts something in faith teach it to another as if it were fact?

It seriously looks like hypocrisy to me. I see one group pointing its finger at another and accusing it of the same thing it does. If you're going to be completely scientific and open and unbiased then go the whole way. Admit what the theory of evolution does not know. State the holes. State the whole gamut.

Personally:
I am not stuck to creationism.
I am not stuck to evolution.
I see and learn and study and think. I keep an open mind and seek truth.

I can see that your site seeks to expose holes in the faith of one group. And wave the flag of another. So you have a slant. It is actually a very ironic site.

Is the goal of your site to seek truth? Or just make other truth seekers look silly.

Do you want to strip away their faith...? And replace it with your "faith".

Is your faith better than theirs? What are you giving them? Are you setting them free from superstition? And you do not have any?

Why not go all the way? Present both/all sides of the debate. Be honest and call the theory of evolution what it is - a theory!

Best regards.

Dear Henry:

If you read the About Us section on our site you would see there a clear statement that this site is designed to promote and defend science and is not a discussion board.

The questions about the origin of eye, ear etc. that you pose have been extensively discussed and have found good explanations in evolution theory. How many times should these questions be recirculated? Articles that argue, say, against evolution may be posted on many other well-financed sites, and if you intend to have such an article prepared you may easily find sites where your anti-evolution views and arguments will be happily welcomed. Such sites do not post pro-evolution or anti-Intelligent Design material.

The authors of our site are of the opinion that anti-evolution arguments are usually pure crock and we are not interested in disseminating anti-scientific stuff although we post letters which are critical of the articles on our site. If you pride yourself in keeping open mind, just study the arguments from both sides and decide for yourself.

Best wishes.
