Try telling that to Phillip Johnson. His whole approach in "Darwin on Trial" was to apply courtroom rules and standards to evolution. A far better analogy for how science works would be a police investigation.
When I first encountered him circa 1981 and listened to him (on a Nova episode), I immediately thought, "What an
