Evolution doesn’t belong in schools either

This is in response to Matt Sears’ letter of April 22, on keeping religion out of schools. I contend that we should therefore keep evolution out of schools, too, as it’s just a theory, at best, and an outright lie, at worst.

The “evidence” supporting evolution is full of holes. The “missing link” is still missing. If evolution were true, we’d have tons of “intermediate” species all around us. Instead, we find totally weird things like giraffes, aardvarks and hammerhead sharks. These things just didn’t “evolve.”

Plus, evolution defies the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, which says everything tends to drive to a state of randomness/entropy, not order. For evolution to work, we would be seeing increased order. This is clearly not the case. Things on their own tend to fall apart!

Finally, actually there is far more (archeological) evidence supporting the Bible than (real) science supporting evolution. They’ve tried to disprove the Bible countless times, and have always failed, whereas every new archeological find supports the biblical accounts.

Sure, maybe creationism doesn’t belong in school, but neither should evolution.
