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".

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.

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".

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.

Deryck Laming, Points of view, September 30, is wrong to suggest that all creationists believe in a literal interpretation of the first 11 chapters of the Old Testament.
Many believe that God created everything but not in the timescale of Genesis, which is not a scientific textbook but explains the why rather than the how.

Continuing Fatherhood Season, child psychologist Laverne Antrobus (above) is our guide through the intriguing science on the crucial role a father plays in his child's development. And that's not just society nagging at men, but the evidence of the effects of nature and evolution.

John elder's recent trashing of the fossil evidence for Darwinian evolution (His Say, May 13), reminds me of the long-extinct flat earth movement.
This opposed acceptance of global earth theories as satanic, anti- scriptual and destructive of the social order.

EVIDENCE found in rocks in a remote part of the Highlands has made scientists reconsider a critical stage of evolution.
The findings, published today in scientific journal Nature, could lead to a new understanding of when complex life - from which humans eventually emerged - evolved on Earth.

In his letter of July 22, Joe Scofield accuses Charles Plummer of "selecting evidence to support his materialistic faith in evolution whilst ignoring all evidence to the contrary".
In that letter and the subsequent letter on July 29 he goes on to select evidence to support his spiritualistic faith in creationism whilst rubbishing all evidence to the contrary. But the problem with his "evidence" is that it's all negative. He tries (and fails) to pick holes in the scientist's case, but only succeeds in demonstrating his own failure to even attempt to understand the theory of evolution.
