They constantly accuse evolution of claiming that life came about "randomly", completely ignoring the fact that natural selection is environmentally determined and the theory makes testable predictions.<BR/><BR/>Creationism, on the other hand, subsumes everything under the arbitrary will of God. There's no explanation, no way to know or explain, no pattern or predictability. Whatever phenomenon one happens to observe is explained by "God did it", and we can't go past that. If we were to accept the creationist "explanation" for biodiversity, life on earth might as well have come about randomly from our point of view.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
