What Darwin's Doubters Get Wrong
Michael Ruse wonders why evolution is still being debated. Our readers weigh in:
The question is, if everything we have and everything we are--from our miraculously finely-tuned and well-ordered physical structures, to our emotional outlooks, our religions, our cultures--are all determined by their having survival value, then why do we seek so much beyond mere survival?"
"I still can spend hours looking through my microscope. But, the wonder of life is still not 'evidence' of a designer. Science requires a natural explanation, requires its practitioners to be 'doubting Thomases', whereas faith is belief beyond proof; its concern and focus is the spiritual world, not natural world."
