IS DARWINIAN EVOLUTION A HYPOTHESIS OR FACT? By Chrisopher C.L. Custer, MD "The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"l Martin Rees I have always admired Stephen Meyers in his book, SIGNATURE OF CELL, by using the scientific method to cast doubt on the current scientific explanations for the creation. Additionally, he raises doubts about the THEORY OF DARWINIAN EVOLUTION which are quite plausible. Above all I admire him for being skeptical of the status quo of traditional science-asking inconvenient questions-and of thinking outside the box. He is truly one of the foremost original thinkers of the 21st century. His answer is intelligent design, despite the misunderstandings of being a " Creationist". It was a logical one, derived from his arguement against traditional scientific explanations. Nowhere does he ·mention God or even says what represents the "intelligent design", it’s up for the reader to decide who the intelligent designer is. In short he is giving us an example-to challenge things we thought we took for granted. In,the last analysis all inventors challenge the way things are done and find new ways ie. to invent a better mouse trap.First of all, we all agree species change with time. Darwin’s theory is just one explaination of how these changes take place. I don’t like Darwin’s Theory of Evolution being taught as a fact, not theory in our schools. Darwin was taking data about Galapagos Island finches and how their beaks changed in form, as he surmised was due environmental conditions. He thought of a mechanism- survival of the fittest, to explain the evolving of one shape to another. He then took a leap of faith and extrapolated this intra species phenomena to explain the creation of a newer different species. The title to his famous book, “The Origin of Species" so aptly describes his theory. However, no mutation experiments have shown this theory to be true at the genetic level. My question is why do we accept Darwinian Evolution as fact when there is substantial evidence to the contrary?
