The Atheistic Faith

TNR Online | The Faith That Dare Not Speak Its Name: "the Oxford English Dictionary defines a scientific theory as 'a scheme or system of ideas or statements held as an explanation or account of a group of facts or phenomena; a hypothesis that has been confirmed or established by observation or experiment, and is propounded or accepted as accounting for the known facts.'"

And yet the faithful evolutionists rail against Intelligent Design.

The place their faith in man's limited understanding, as well as a few outright stubborn lies. I particularly enjoyed telling my daughter about the black and white moths pinned on the trees in her "science" textbook.

As an electrical engineer, I use real science. Observable, experimental, replicatable science. Not the anecdotal stuff rampant on both sides of the evolution debate. Of course evolution occurs. Observable biology has shown the existence of vestigal wings of kiwis, for instance.

The problem is when scientists leave deductive science behind and make inductive conclusions, like 'put enough random micro variations together and you get a random macro variation'.
Or when they leave science behind and turn to theology: 'I can't believe in a God that would allow parasitic wasps eat cute innocent larvae'.
