Bill O'Reilly 1

I've decided to enclose a quote by a prominent illogical figure, and then present my evidence and let the readers rip me a new one.

To Richard Dawkins, in his point that Intelligent Design should be presented in classrooms,(paraphrased) There are more believers than non-believers, and therefore we should teach alternatives to evolution because it doesn't explain the origin of life completely.

Okay, where do I begin...

1. You've committed a blatant ad populum fallacy, in that you say that just because a majority of people believe it, it is correct. For thousands of years people believed that the sun revolved around the Earth, and guess what, that's wrong! It is so clear to any logical mind that science is not a democracy, and nor should it be.

2. Evolution doesn't claim to explain life, it explains the species diversity we see today, and although many evolutionists believe in the Big Bang Theory, it doesn't contain itself inside of evolution.

3. As said by Dawkins, just because a scientific theory doesn't explain a certain thing, it doesn't mean that you can throw out the textbook and pull out your bibles. In science, we must always assume a natural explanation  and unless decisive proof is put forth by the other side favoring their idea (NOT attacking a rival idea) we can't go jump on the God boat, because when the day comes that science is opened to supernatural activity, I'm moving to Canada and letting this whole holy war business settle itself.

Love my post? Hate it and want to damn me to eternal hellfire? Then post a comment!
