The Poached Egg
What has the past 150 years shown us
about Darwin's theory of evolution?
|
Actually:
1. Complex precursors to Cambrian
animals in fact have been found. Davis' article promotes a gross falsehood in
claiming otherwise.
2. Punctuated equilibrium opposes
phyletic gradualism and is a subset of Darwinism, not an antithesis. The
development of species in punctuated equilibrium and in the Cambrian explosion,
over hundreds of thousands or millions of years, is "fast" in
geological terms, but "gradual" in biological terms, consistent with
Darwinism.
Contrary to Davis' contention
that the Cambrian explosion represents a falsification of Darwinism, the fossil
record in fact underlies the widespread scientific acceptance of the modern
evolutionary synthesis.
Christian writers have a moral
responsibility of due diligence in fact-checking any messages they promulgate.
Propagating false or misleading information through negligence or
"stiff-necked" obstinacy constitutes an act of worship towards the "father
of lies" and is incompatible with Christian values.
