Evolution

Sir,—Warwick Don’s latest letter, using terms like “suggest,” “current view,” "highly suggestive,” confirms my view that evolution theory is still metaphysical, lacking hard evidence. Darwin’s “The Origin of Species” abounds in similar expressions. Does this indicate a virtuous humility, a lack of confidence or the absence of proof? For 130 years Darwinism has surged like a tsunami through society, sweeping away the superstructure of a corrupt Christian church, overturning value systems good or bad, sanctioning social Darwinism, taught as factual to generations of, school children and rules unquestioned in the Groves of Academe. But when Michael Denton, a qualified micro-biologist, but unfazed by this onslaught, writes a book of 358 pages drawing attention to the hundreds of difficulties and unjustified assumptions of Darwinists, it is dismissed as merely an anti-evolution tract. As Marxism is in retreat worldwide, so, also, Darwinism will suffer a similar fate. Its inadequacy is blatant. — Yours, etc., D. H. KARST. October 23, 1989.
