Science and Intelligent Design to be discussed

As reported by the Los Alamos Monitor, efforts exist to make the scientific method evolve into something different, specifically in regards to the theory of evolution. During a presentation at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Fuller Lodge, Francis Slakey of Georgetown University will work to spread awareness about these efforts.

The presentation is free to the public and the New Mexico Academy of Science and the Coalition for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Education are sponsoring the lecture.

Alan Hurd, director of the Lujan Neutron Scattering Center at Los Alamos National Laboratory, explained the scientific method involves creating a hypothesis and testing it. If something cannot be verified, then it is not covered by the scientific method, he said.

...Then, Darwinism cannot be proved, because it was a series of trillions of mutations and selections which occurred in the past, and change today, are just excellent examples of microevolution.

Cookies will be served at the meeting.
