Not to their practitioners. Hey, could your interpretation of the Bible be in error? Ir are you infallible.

Some some folk claim yet there has never been any evidence to support that claim. Just another carny trick.
The fact that you claim the earth is young, that special; creation happened, that evolution is a fantasy, that the Bible is not filled with errors, falsehoods and contradictions ...

"Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution." was the title of an article by Theodosius Dobzhansky published in The American Biology Teacher, Vol. 35, No. 3 As I said in Message 5 it is a hyperbolic title to grab attention. Much in biology makes sense without evolution. Just in time: A new article in EN explains why Dobzhansky’s phrase is unequivocally false. Edited by CRR, : Just in time added

The key phrase is "makes sense". Sure, you can fiddle around in biology and do things by trial and error without it "making sense". But you can't make useful predictions about likely outcomes unless it "makes sense" in some way. Creationism falls back on a gigantic question mark in the sky which doesn't explain anything. If it hasn't already told you the answer, you have no way of predicting what it might be. You have nothing but trial and error to work with. Evolution is the only explanation of biology that "makes sense".

In July this year, Turkey banned the teaching of evolution in high schools. Good idea - teach real science instead and don't waste time on a useless fairy tale. It would seem that Turkey considers ToE superfluous to the needs of biology. Turkey is smart. Edited by Dredge, : No reason given. Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.
