Creationists, and those who believe in intelligent design, don’t deny observable science. Natural selection (the idea that over time, populations of plants and animals adapt to their environment), is a scientific fact we can all agree on. What creationists question, is whether those changes would lead to new features, such as eyes or wings, and whether those changes would eventually accumulate and lead to new species.?Consider the problem of a mouse-like creature evolving into a bat. Evolution would say that over a long period of time, the hand bones would gradually grow longer, and eventually become wings. However, longer hand bones would not give the mouse a competitive advantage unless the wings were fully developed. In fact, the mouse would be at a severe disadvantage, and less likely to survive, because it would be more difficult to get around.?For those who understand science, this is just one of the many serious problems with the theory of evolution. And yet, our children are taught that this is a scientific fact. Creationists do not object to science. What we do object to is when unproved theories are presented as facts which cannot be questioned.?
