Creation vs. Evolution

I've been watching some DVDs on creationism that a friend lent me. I'm definitely no science whiz, but it's striking how much "science" is actually philosophy. Modern scientists, like anybody, have their own agenda, and believe it our not it is not always the search for truth.

Wherever you land on the creation vs. evolution debate, I believe it's a debate that needs to happen. The sad truth is scientific creationism or even intelligent design have been kicked out of the public discourse. The arguments given for creationism are every bit as reasonable as the arguments for evolution, and more. Too bad most scientists aren't willing to let the evidence speak for itself.

Take this quote for example:

"[Evolution is] a theory universally accepted not because it can be proved by logically coherent evidence to be true, but because the only alternative, special creation, is clearly incredible." - DMS Watson

Or what about this one:

"Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We believe it because the only alternative is special creation which is unthinkable." - Sir Arthur Keith

Why? Because in their view creation is religion by definition and evolution is science, and they must go with science:

"Even if all the data point to an intelligent designer, such an hypothesis is excluded from science because it is not naturalistic." - S.D. Todd

Now what would they do if creation scientists said, "Even if all the data point to Darwinian evolution, such an hypothesis is excluded from science because it is not supernaturalistic"? They'd be up in arms!

As Ben Stein's documentary says, I guess "No Intelligence Allowed."
