Re: Why Creationism and Intelligent Design will not be taken seriously.
quote:
Getting back to the OP . . .
The major problem with the 15 questions is that it inserts lies into the questions.
No. I think that the major problem with the 15 questions - and scientists are mssing this point too - is that science needs unanswerd questions.
CMI believes that if they can find 15 questions that we can't answer, this means the death of the ToE. Nothing is further from he truth. A scientist embraces unanswered questions, because this means more research is necessary.
Open any scientific journal about any science - physics, chemistry, anatomy etc. You will find phrases like "more research is needed", "still unsolved problem", etc.
With a little bit malevolence youy can phrase the 15 questions chemistry can't answer, then 15 questions embryology can't answer.
Of course, CMI did a very poor job, but even if the 15 questions were without answers it wouildn't be a catastrophe. Sadly enough, creationists and scientists alike missed that point.
