Why is it better to teach one kind of faith -- that life, the universe and everything is just the product of some random chance -- than to provide information on alternative theories? Why are scientists and evolutionists so afraid of expanding the debate?
I always thought science was supposed to an open-minded endeavor, but it seems more often than not that it's a closed minded pursuit. To some, it seems, to even suggest that anything other than random chance might explain the universe is a sort of blasphemy. Science types want to call creation types closed minded, ignorant and bigoted, but isn't that just the black hole calling the worm hole black?

At some point scientific explanation ends, and faith begins. The problem is that creationists and the supporters of the so-called intelligent design, have entered the debate under the terms and conditions of what is considered to be a science. Therefore they need to demonstrate that their theories must be falsifiable, and must provide a better explanation of the existent data than current theories. They have miserably failed both conditions. larry -- Larry C.
