Let’s look at the theory of Evolution, and then ask ourselves if it is really science.

Through out its 100 - plus year history, the theory of evolution has gone through refinements and adjustments, to the tune of between 50 and 60.  The latest theory that is held in fairly high regard is the theory of punctuated evolution, which states that a lizard laid an egg and it hatched a bird.

Why is this?  Because there are so many holes in the theory of evolution, that unless science makes up huge assumptions and lies, it is nothing more than Greek Mythology.  There is not one shred of scientific evidence that lays any credibility to the theory of evolution.  There are dozens of private institutions throughout this country and our world that are offering large cash rewards for scientific evidence that supports the theory.  None have been found, no cash rewards claimed, and there is less evidence supporting evolution today than there was when the theory was first proposed by a man who plagiarized it from his grandfather.  The theory is false, un-provable, and basically - a religion.

Darwin himself, at the outset of his grandpa’s theory, stated that unless the fossil record yielded more transitional species’ skeletons, as time passed, to support and prove the evolution of species, the theory was wrong.  Since Darwin’s time, science has improved and many of the skeletons that were in question, as transitional species, have been defined in one class or another.  The number of possible transition skeletons is now a tiny fraction of what existed in Darwin’s time, while the number of fossil skeletons found has increased exponentially.  As science progresses and mankind builds on his knowledge, all skeletons will find their correct classifications, and we will find that there are no fossilized transitional skeletons.  According to Darwin himself, his theory has already been disproved.

At the same time, fossils themselves do not follow the timescale science outlines with the layers of the earth’s strata.  One of the most cited skeletal series for evolution is the fossil horse series.  This series supposedly shows the transition from early horses to the modern-day horse.

This series starts in America, moves to Europe, and then comes back to America.  There are more than 20 different types of horses needing Darwinian transition, but not one transitional fossil exists - each horse appears abruptly in the fossil record.  Plus, several skeletons of the modern-day horse have been found in the same fossil stratum as the initial horse that started the evolutionary process.  Bluntly stating that the modern-day horse was present before the horses evolutionary process began.

In addition to this modern-day horse, a majority of the fossil record has earlier fossils higher in strata formations than later fossils, suggesting that life progressed downward from more complex forms to simpler forms.  Also, there are dozens of examples of things like fossilized trees standing through dozens of layers of strata – that would make the trees millions upon millions of years old, surviving as layers of earth built around them millennia after millennia.

Evolution claims that the Peppered Moth evolved during our time, and is a near perfect example of evolution.  Before the Industrial Revolution, nearly all moths found in England were light in color.  With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, pollution turned the color of trees from light to dark.  Soon after this, 95 percent of moths found were dark in color.  Evolutionists use this as proof of their theory.  But the moth has always existed in light, moderate and dark colors.  Many birds eat them as food.  Before the Industrial Evolution, the dark ones were seen on the light trees, and birds preyed primarily on them.  After the Industrial Revolution, the birds saw the light colored ones against the dark backdrop of the tree bark.  This is not an example of evolution, rather, an example of the importance of camouflage.

There is absolutely no scientific evidence to support the theory of evolution.  Not to mention that science has disproved the time frame our universe required to support such a theory.  Evidence from Earth’s magnetic field, meteoric dust, the amount of salt in our oceans, the slowing of the Earth’s rotation, the recession of the moon away from our planet, the amount of helium in our atmosphere, and the number of comets in our solar system, all suggest that the Earth is much less than one million years old.

Science is a process of creating falsifiable models that can be proved or disproved using tests, experiments, and observations.  The prime criteria for a model are its ability to make predictions or explain phenomena.  Evolution does none of this.  In over a hundred years, science has been able to do nothing with this theory but offer evidence that proves it false.

So many scientists set out to explain and prove evolution rather than test hypotheses about it.  This action makes it a religion, not a scientific theory.

For the Madison Metropolitan School District to be so reactionary about the two words “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance, but at the same time do everything in their power to tear down and destroy the foundations that Christian families teach their children at home shows their arrogance and elitist attitude that they know what’s best for our own lives, and their contempt for the family unit.

The rhetoric showed by the Madison School Board, that preaches one religion while showing an absolute intolerance for the words “Under God”, shows their ignorance and hatred for the basic values that have made this country so great.  Their opinions represent a tiny, extremist faction, and their intolerance is a dangerous example with which to develop the minds of our children.
