I see similarity in the modern approach to evolution. Everything that has happened over the course of billions of years is because of evolution. It is the magic explanation for everything. And it's all good. Cancer? That's evolution! And it's a toolkit! We're lucky to have it! Really!

First creationists say evolution has no place in modern science, predicts nothing, helps nothing. Then when evolution is used to try to cure disease you say it's suddenly a magic explanation for everything. News flash, evolution is widely used in science. Most successful theories are.

I think you would be hard-pressed to find a Creationist who believed that. I do not believe in evolution -- but I recognize that it is the dominant paradigm in biology today. I don't want to force it out of the classroom. I don't want to force it out of the textbooks.

All I want is for discussions of science to include additional discussion from those of us who feel that evolution is a flawed theory.

It is the evolutionist who feel that counter-arguments have "no place in modern science". What you are engaged in, would be considered "projection" by a psychologist.
