“Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof.”
Ashley Montagu

I find that this quote is very pertinent to the debate between evolution and creationism. It is true that science has proof without any certainty, certainly when it comes to the theory of evolution. But the lack of certainty does not lie with wether or not evolution occured, but with the specific mechanisms of evolution. Life on earth has evolved and continues to do so, this is a fact. To disregard evolution is to be ignorant to the facts. Creationists seem to be certain that god just put life on earth as is, even though there's no proof. I can see how some religious person with no scientific background can argue intelligent design, but i cannot comprehend how someone with any sense of logic could dismiss evolution and believe in creationism.
