Do I believe in evolution? It doesn't matter whether I believe in evolution or not, what matters is: it is a scientific theory. That means it passed some testify able experiments (!). Well there exists much controversy about the experiments and I am not certainly in a position to justify whether those experiments truly validate the theory or not. In a general sense I have the same faith on theory of evolution as I have for other scientific theories. Anyway, I popped up this topic not because I want to glorify it or vilify it; rather I want to introduce my observation. Although my observation is not directly connected to theory of evolution it is somehow revolving around it.
I am amazed to learn that there is no contestant theory of the theory of evolution. There exists a scientific theory unrivaled by nothing! Ooops! Something is wrong! Either nobody finds this area interesting or those who work in this area are very much consumed by the theory of evolution. If that’s not convincing enough then here is the next: the only rival idea (I don't know any right word for it, it is not even an idea) is Intelligent Design (!) which is not even science. So basically evolution is fighting against churches! Really! Seriously! I thought we are in twenty first century and still a scientific theory has to fight against churches! Wow! Something seriously went wrong! Scientific community need to have serious attention in this area. Well, I have an observation:
We are living in the age of atheism. Atheism was never been so popular before. The references of religions are almost as old as the references of human (in its current form). So the idea of religion is approximately 300K+ years old and now all of sudden modern human being is trying to throw it away! This is crazy. 300K+ years are even good enough for evolution to create human from its ancestors! Technically modern human being has evolved along with religion. If so it is not hard to imagine we are already equipped to survive in the world of religion. Now if we throw it away, we human being don't know how we gonna survive! It is our part as we are part of it. Wait-a-bit, what atheism has anything to do with the theory of relativity?
Atheists reject the existence of God and fill the void with theory of evolution. Well! that's why the theory of evolution has to fight against religion not other scientific theories. Some people even use evolution to explain everything (The fabric of reality – David Deutsch). Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins seems declared war against religion. He called religions ‘enemies of reason’. The way he attacks religion remind me the sixteen century churches. I can imagine sixteen century churches surely attacked science in similar way. When did science become so hostile?
Evolution is a scientific theory like other countless scientific theories the only specialty is, it explains the creation. I am sure numerous theories would be published in future regarding the creation and some of them would even explain the creation better than evolution. Wouldn't they laugh at those who put so much emphasis on evolution? There are only two possibilities: (1) other theories exist. In that case putting too much emphasis is just slowing down the progress. (2) They don’t exist. That idea is frightening.
There exists an even greater harm. Atheists sometimes use evolution is such a way that it sounds like a religion and that’s where it creates a hole in science that welcomes things like intelligent design. Maybe intelligent design failed to enter into science in its recent attempts, but someday someone will craft it so well that it would penetrate science. I don’t know what happen then but I don’t see any good. In my view the ubiquitous use of theory of evolution only slowing down science and bringing problems like intelligent design.
