evidence of evolution

• Evidence for Theory of Evolution Is Scant

The letter by Heather Martin (Keep creationism out of the classroom, WMN, May 29) is an example of something I have observed before. Evolutionists, instead of presenting clear evidence and arguing logically, tend to abuse or pour scorn on those who disagree with them. Richard Dawkins is a clear example of this tendency. Why is this? Could it be that their evidence is so scant and their arguments so weak? It reminds me of an MP who, in the margin of his speech, wrote "argument weak, shout".

I MUST protest at Mr Waldon's description (The Citizen, June 4) of "intelligent design" as "a fairy story... by those... who cannot... use their brains to examine the evidence of evolution" since, on the contrary, it is patently the product of detailed research confirming that evidence for many major aspects of evolution is missing. Evolutionists may believe that this evidence may one day be found but that is no reason to deride those who remark on its absence and propose a logical alter native.

• Theory Not Immune to Investigation ; I Am Puzzled by the Letter From John Watts, Plenty of Evidence Against Evolution, Points of View, October 4, Since He Seems to Be Answering a Letter with My Name On It but Referring to Things I Never Mentioned.

I am puzzled by the letter from John Watts, Plenty of evidence against evolution, Points of view, October 4, since he seems to be answering a letter with my name on it but referring to things I never mentioned. However, apart from the very minor matter of putting words into my mouth, he advances the view that God created everything "but not in the timescale of Genesis".

I HAVE found the correspondence on creationism and evolution interesting and would appreciate being allowed to express my views. On May 18 Adrian Midgley stated: "Creationism is mostly the denial of evolution" which I found totally unacceptable. Although the Genesis account of the Creation does not tally with the "overwhelming evidence of evolution" (in the fossil records) to quote Sir David Attenborough, the actual order of creation in the Holy Bible bears some similarity. Some 8,000 years ago human beings would not have understood words such as planets, solar systems, galaxies and black holes, and perhaps days of the week represented billions of years. I don't know, but I accept evolution. It is a fact that some creatures alter colour, size and shape etc, over both a short and enormou...

• They Have Some Catching Up to Do ; Why Is It Those Who Continue to Believe in Creation Offer Almost Incontrovertible Evidence of Evolution?

Why is it those who continue to believe in creation offer almost incontrovertible evidence of evolution? It's just they have some catching up to do.

• Evolution Evidence ; Rolf Burnie, of Kingsbridge, Wrote (Letter, March 24) That He Had Abandoned His Belief in Evolution Because He Had 'Seen the Light' of the Truth of Creationism. But, Sadly, He Failed to Give Any of This Evidence.

Rolf Burnie, of Kingsbridge, wrote (letter, March 24) that he had abandoned his belief in evolution because he had "seen the light" of the truth of creationism. But, sadly, he failed to give any of this evidence. Darwin put forward his theories of a plausible mechanism for evolution (survival of the fittest), in a world and time when most of the western world population accepted the truth of creationism.

• Men's Sexuality Blamed for World Conflict ; Ukbulletins

MALE sex drive is at the root of most conflict in the world, from football violence to world wars, scientists have claimed. A review of psychological evidence concludes men are shaped by evolution to be aggressive towards "outsiders". The tendency, at the heart of all inter-tribal violence, emerged through natural selection as a result of competition for mates.

I FIND the 'logic' in John Watts' letter (Odds on evolution beyond imagining, May 16) somewhat dubious, as he seems happy to disregard the massive amount of evidence in favour of evolution (including the fact it has been observed), while stating that the Bible is a reliable source of information. While it is indeed quite possible that a man named Jesus Christ lived around 2,000 years ago, there is no evidence to suggest that he is the son of a god. The belief that evolution is entirely down to random chance is incorrect.
