Even though I think Darwinian evolution is completely bogus, I think this is a silly point to make. It hardly invalidates the concept.

Saturn has rings. This knowledge has thus far been completely useless to mankind; but it's still true.

Even if evolution theory is totally wrong, the automatic default setting is not "God did it" (although that answer sure would make getting 100% on science tests easy). Leave the medieval thinking to the Taliban and the Jihadists.

It's not silly, if only because many FREVO's do indeed make the claim that our nation will fall behind in science and technology if evolution is allowed to be questioned. They have even claimed we would go backwards into the dark ages.

I agree that scientific hypotheses or knowledge shouldn't be discarded simply because they haven't yet proved useful in a practical way.

But again, the point isn't that evolution as a theory shouldn't be considered. The point is that evolution isn't the lynchpin of all modern science as some Evo's try to claim for it.

Saturn's "rings" were earlier seen as "horns", and because of that Saturn and his counterparts (Ba'al), became the god to whom children were sacrificed.
