Nevada May Consider Evolution

Constitutional Amendment

by Nic Samojluk


Quote:
A proposed constitutional amendment in Nevada would require teachers to tell students there are many unanswered questions about the theory of evolution.

Opponents claim it's a thinly veiled attempt to allow intelligent design into the schools, but the man behind the idea, Steve Brown, a masonry contractor from Las Vegas, said that's not what he's after.

"I'm not promoting intelligent design or creationism," he told Family News in Focus. "The amendment simply says 'students must be informed that although most scientists agree that Darwin's theory of evolution is well-supported, a small minority of scientists do not agree.' "

Brown is concerned that students are not being told the whole story. He said it's important to remember that evolution is still a theory ...
If you accept the evolutionary working premise that God needs to be ignored when dealing with the origin issue, then evolution is a fact. If you reject said assumption, then evolution is simply an untested theory. Science is based on observation, followed by experimentation and replicability. No scientist has ever been able to test the common ancestry of life in the laboratory. For those who believe in the existence of God, the most likely option is Common Design instead of Common Descent.
