The Darwinism, theory that is more like a core of the evolutionary biology where most of the tenets in the field have been relied on for more than 150 years, is now being ruined from a group of christian scientists who believe in supernatural creation or so-called "intelligent design" aka ID. Why ?? because the darwinism is contradict to what bible says about god creation.
Despite many strong evidences and experiments supporting modern evolution theory, Many extreme arguments is still being raised against it. What are their arguments?
Some scientists or activists, as someone called them, had tried to illustrate the unlikeliness of evolutionary biology by calculating probability and possibility of the development of such a complex system like an eye. Of course, finally they concluded that it is implausible that the natural complex system like eye could indeed be developed from such a really simple system like chemical mixing and evolutionary stuffs without guiding from some supernatural intelligence or what they call "designer". Mere mutations and natural selections would not be enough to accomplish that level of intricacy. However, such calculation has not been published in any general accepted peer-review journal.
Well! then another question arises "where are the designer from?" ... No answer has been made for now !!
Another argument would be "Do we have enough information to precisely calculate the probability of an eye development like that they claimed they do? if not will we be able to use this calculation as a reference?". At least, Harvard professor of mathematics and evolutionary biology, Martin Nowak doesn't think that according to knowledge we have so far, it would not be feasible to accurately predict the probability of an eye came about hence this calculation seems wacky.
Well! There is no conclusion at this point. As a matter of actual fact, many people try to correlate this 2 theory together. At the same time, many try to support either one of them. Unfortunately, many just have fun watching the conflicts as for amusing themselves after work T_T.
One may ask what should we believe? Well IMO, at this point I do believe in the evolution theory because there are more evidences indicating its validity. And there is an inevitable Achilles's heel of intelligent design which is there is no way to neither conduct the experiment supporting the idea nor to proof it. Moreover, there are plenty of evidences supporting the evolution theory and many more to come!
Why is this quacky issue is matter?.. The point is what side should the school teach children? Should they talk about god creation or not talking about it at all.
As for me, I found this topic interesting because I don't see the point where the argument should be originated from anyway. Why don't they just simply add all of the reasons supporting both sides in to the curriculum so that the kids get to know both theory and they can finally use their own judgement to evaluate which one they want to believe.
The flat earthism idea can still be taught in school together with the sphere model of earth by Galileo Galilei. The Copernicus hypothesis also have been taught without any problem with the idea of earth is a center of the universe! Well!! the funny part is that they believe that there are turtles carrying earth.
Well! Anyway, theory can be replace by the new if in case there is some other strong evidences are discovered! All we need to do is just open our mind and we will do just fine ..
don't you think ?
