Princeton Pres Critic

We disagree with her stance as we feel that she is assuming the fact that intelligent design contradicts science and cannot coexist with Darwinism. We believe this is a false notion from her and that intelligent design and evolution theories possibly form the complete picture. Evolution explains and proves how humans evolved from a single celled organism and the changes it underwent. However, science has been unable to provide an explanation for the presence of the original organism in the first place and we feel that intelligent design fills that hole.

We do not believe that by teaching intelligent design, teachers are undermining science in any way. In fact, they actually provide students with an alternative outlook on the possible formation of humans and allows them to consider both possibilities before coming to a conclusion of their own. It is likely that human development and formation cannot be explained by either theory alone but instead by a combination of both.
