It cannot be scientifically proven. Evolution is a fact. Even ID acknowldges that. There are certain aspects of evolution that can and will be ironed out, but there is no doubt that it should be taught in school. What I believe is that people should not be shunned by the scientific community because they have ideas on how life originated on this planet that differs from the norm. Even the idea of 'God' placing a single celled organism into the depths of the ocean cannot be scientifically disproven. |
Eh, that's not science though. Science doesn't alow non science to be science, the reason ID isn't accepted. There is no ID model, predictions, tests anything. ID is a statement, not a hypothesis. Somebody can claim ID is true, but that doesn't mean scientists have to pay it any mind unless somebody is willing to do the science on it.Did you watch the Nova Special? Even supporters of ID aren't doing any kind of tests, or forming models or predictions. They are just trying to ram it down people's throat and claim it's science. Science isn't just an assertion, making a claim doesn't make it science.
Also Being unable to disprove something doesn't give it scientific validity. If it did I could claim that a unicorn create the universe and lives on Pluto and then complain when scientists don't hear me out, and make a movie about how the government won't give me grant money to fund my campaign to teach unicornism in classrooms. There has to be actual science behind it, rather than just an assertion.
