Evolution Opponent: Professor Lee Xian Min (15) 309
How reliable is the theory of evolution?
The definition of a theory is a concept that is supported by numerous well-tested facts and has not been disapproved by many attempts. It is the heart of science, making up of laws, observations and ideas. However, in reality, not all theories can be observed. In evolution, one can only see the effects of evolution- us. Science has opened up large dimensions of reason and thus brought us new insights, but in the joy at the extent of its discoveries, it tends to take away from us dimensions of reason that we still need. Its results lead to questions that go beyond its methodical canon and cannot be answered within it. Thus, people turn to religion and other formulated theories to help them explain what cannot be explained by the theory of evolution. In this website, you will learn of some of the many opposing theories in existence: Its evidence and the scientific community’s response to it.
Evolution is very close to our lives- In fact, we are the product of it! Read the following carefully, and hence make your own judgement on what you want to believe in!
