The editorial was a wonderful example of why people should never trust the media to do accurate reporting. I am not able to respond in this short letter to the wealth of misinformation that appeared in that editorial. I'll hit on just a few points. The Dispatch , like the news media in Kansas, continues to erroneously portray this debate as one of science versus religion.
Evolution is a religion .
Evolutionism is a world view that assumes up-front, an atheistic view of the origins of the universe and of mankind. Because evolutionists have limited themselves to this atheistic paradigm, they have made it impossible for themselves to consider any theistic explanation of origins. In other words, assuming for arguments sake that God really did exactly what He said He did in the book of Genesis, evolutionists will forever be blind to this reality because they refuse to even consider it as a possibility. Instead, they work diligently to try to force a square peg into a round hole by teaching children in the public schools that the only viable explanation of origins is atheistic evolution. The Dispatch editorial would have us believe that the alleged science of evolutionism can peacefully co-exist with religion.
