Those against it don't knowwhat evolution really is
EDITOR:
I think that most of the people against evolution do not really know what evolution really is.
First of all, it has nothing to do with ethics or morals, as William J. Finnigan would have us believe. Evolution is the investigation of God's laws. The more one knows about God's laws, the more beneficial it will be toward humanity.
Yes, some of the early Puritans used the Bible to teach their children and adults. So we had witch-burning and bloodletting and ignorance abound.
In a recent letter from the President of the New Mexico Academy of Science, I read that a spokeswoman from the New Mexico Council of Churches, representing more than 600,000 Christians, stated that the organization saw no reason to change the standards. Evolution was fine (Fundamentalists tried to get creationism into the standards.)
A more telling statement came from Stephen Palumbi, Harvard evolutionary biologist, when he said, "Somewhere in high school in this country is a student who is going to cure AIDS. That student is going to have to understand evolution."
I learned that the basis of economics were four: land, labor, capital and business enterprise. Most businesses adhere to the laws of economics, but there are still crooks using them.
One last comment on what the Bible says of man's creation: In the first account (Genesis 1), "Man is made in the image of God." Nothing was said about the old Near Eastern myth of man being made from the earth. In the second account, man is made from the dust of the earth. Take your choice.
The basis of life which Mr. Finnigan missed were given by Jesus of Nazareth: Love God and man.
