Evolution is a religion for atheists, unlike creationism

February 10, 2012 12:00 am

Doug Ross' Jan. 31 column was in complete error. I must respectfully disagree with him. He said creationism should not be taught in schools because it has no scientific proof and because it is religion. Let me just examine those two claims.

First, he stated that creationism has no scientific proof to back it, whereas evolution has stood the test of scientific time. This is completely wrong; the opposite is true. Creationism is consistently supported by science, and evolution is refuted. You must read reports censored by atheists and have never heard of creation ministries, such as Answers in Genesis.

Second, you believe religion should not be taught in schools. Evolution is a religion for atheists. It takes amazing faith to believe in evolution. I believe in creation as you believe in evolution, by faith. God was there, and He recorded it.
