Letters - Evolution and Creationism in Schools - Letter - NYTimes.com

This is a letter to the editor from Ivan Schuller, a professor of physics at UC San Diego. I quote extensively because I feel he summarized my view of Creationism versus Evolution so succinctly.

The scientific method has well- defined rules by which we decide whether a solution to a scientific problem is correct or not. It is not that we believe or have the opinion that a certain solution is correct — we prove it scientifically one way or another.

Thus there are right and wrong solutions that may seem unfair, undemocratic and elitist. But this is how science advances and produces the marvelous technological developments that surround us. And this is not a belief. It is a fact.
