My primary complaint concerning evolution is that the version that is put forth currently is designed as an attack on God with a clear goal to deconstruct what it means to be human. Carson is right. It takes a lot of faith to believe in evolution as it is proposed to today. It has its own virgin birth suggesting that lightning bolts striking the equivalent of a mud puddle produced life. One can not read a paper on evolution without the author creating anthropomorphic reasons for such and such to have “evolved” while suggesting the existence of an invisible hand guiding things along much like Adam Smith’s invisible hand. Darwin postulated this was natural selection at work driven along by naturally arising mutations which modern research has found not to be sufficient. The problem is that unlike Adam’s Smith’s invisible hand which is driven by the actions of already constituted actors it is an entirely different story when we are talking about a world where there are no actors but instead just the bits and pieces that could constitute creatures capable of self interest such as ourselves.

Well said. It has become unscientific, if it ever was, and more a religious/socio-political position.
