re: #30 dicklepre

I am confused. Part of what makes something science if that it is refutable and subject to revision. If evolution is part of science it is subject to analysis, criticism and review.

To express this as a negative: If evolutionary theory is NOT subject to analysis, criticism and review then it is NOT science.

Evolutionary science has been subjected to analysis and review for 150 years, and in all that time not a single challenge has resulted in falsifying the theory. Instead, it’s only gotten stronger, and now informs every aspect of modern biology, leading to scientific and medical breakthroughs.

“Analysis, criticism, and review” does not mean teaching children religiously based pseudo-science.
