Why pit God against evolution?
This is a little parochial, but it does get onto general matters, such as… “…many scientists believe in the existence of a Supreme Being and still accept the theory of evolution.” And… “The religious fundamentalists who provoked this controversy were no doubt buoyed by a seemingly small but critical victory they had won a few months ago. They persuaded the Cobb school board to label several textbooks with the following disclaimer: “This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things… It’s too bad the board didn’t have the good sense back then to reject that nonsensical example of scientific illiteracy. When scientists use the word “theory,” they mean “a more or less verified or established explanation accounting for known facts or phenomena,” according to Webster’s. In that sense, gravity is only a theory.”
I’ll let you find the humour at the end!
