Evolution is still best explanation

Letter writer Lee Mann's characterization of our resident evolution-basher is quite to the point. The tiresome tirades over the years have shown nothing tangible to discredit the accepted Theory of Evolution, which still remains the best explanation for the progression of life on this planet. Moreover, his practice now is to dredge the Skagit Valley Herald archives for old opinions to maintain the flow of words ad nauseum. Apparently the idea is that if something is repeated enough times it will become fact; however, rational minds reject such a ploy. Creationism cannot stand the test of a scientific inspection.

It is pseudo-science employing the concept if miracles and the practice of circular reasoning, placing the answers in the premises. The closest such truck can get into the public schools appears to be via a local high school cafeteria which scheduled the preaching of nonproved young Earth material by people of questionable credentials.
