Selective faith

To the editor:

What are they scared of?

What are Jack Krebs and the evolutionists scared of? If their theory (and it is just that) is correct, then it will prevail when taught alongside the theory of intelligent design. There is a saying, “Truth gains through opposition.” The evolutionists ought to welcome the teaching of other theories for it would prove their case, if their case is defensible.

Chandra Wickramasinghe, professor of applied mathematics at University of Cardiff, Wales once pointed out that the statistical probability of forming even a single enzyme, the building block of the humane gene, which is the building block of the human cell, is 1 in 10 raised to the 40,000th power! To put it differently, it would require more attempts for the formation of one enzyme than there are atoms in all of the stars of all the galaxies in the entire known universe.

Buying into that sort of logic requires at least as much faith as believing in an intelligent creator. It is curious that scientists seem to be the only category of people that retain selective sovereignty over what they allow to be transferred to philosophy and what they don’t.
