Both sides wrong?
A recent letter states that intelligent design is not a scientific theory and
has been thoroughly discredited ["'Intelligent design' is nothing more than
bogus science," June 16]. The author provides no scientific evidence supporting
these claims.
In fact, neither creationism nor evolution is a scientific theory in the
strictest sense of the term. The true basis of science is repeatable events,
which should precede, or necessarily follow, the formation of theories.
In this case, we are dealing with singular events that had no witnesses. Given
the scientific limitations in this debate, any claim made by either theory must
be substantiated by existing evidence, not predictions and conjecture.
Transitional forms do not exist in the fossil record. Darwin identified this as
a primary difficulty with his theory 150 years ago, and it remains so today.
This evidence supports creationism.
