Editor,
I did not want to get involved in the perpetual debate between evolution and creation, but I think the proponents of evolutionary theory are hypocritical. What gives them the right to impose evolutionary theory on their students while simultaneously demanding that creationist theory be banned from the classroom?
The scientific method is clearly based on observation, and from what I've seen, all species reproduce according to their own kind. For instance, a giraffe always gives birth to another giraffe, and a zebra always gives birth to another zebra. This seems to support the theory of creationism because the Bible states that God created everything according to its own species.
Evolutionary theory is analogous to claiming that engineers don't exist, that modern devices are self-designed. If evolution is true, then who created the mechanism of natural selection? Furthermore, humans themselves are evidence of creationist theory because we are all created in the image of the creator. Everyone has a body, soul and a spirit, whereas everything else only has a body and a soul, but no spirit. Humans are the only species with a concept of eternity, which is why religions exist. Deep inside ourselves, we all know we will be held accountable for our actions when we leave this world.
