Question

Answer True or False:

1. Evolution is a theory in crisis.
2. Evolution explains the origin of life.

4. Evolution says that man evolved from monkey.
5. Theories can be proved by science.
6. Evolution occurs completely by random chance.
7. Intelligent Design is science.
8. Religion and evolution are incompatible with each other.

Interesting responses so far. My motive is simply to see how people in R&S answer questions about evolution. I accept evolutionary theory, and it was not my intention to make you suspicious.

Answer 1

All are false.

That was pretty easy, actually.

Oh, Brett, you were so close! If, as you wrote, "Physics is entirely orthogonal to religion", then the two are compatible, making #8 false like the others.

"To an honest judge, the alleged convergence between religion and science is a shallow, empty, hollow, spin-doctored sham." -- Richard Dawkins

“Religion belongs to that realm that is inviolable before the law of causation and therefore is closed to science.” -- Max Planck

“Science should be taught not in order to support religion and not in order to destroy religion. Science should be taught simply ignoring religion.” -- Steven Weinberg

“Acceptance without proof is the fundamental characteristic of Western religion, Rejection without proof is the fundamental characteristic of Western science.” -- Gary Zuka, in 'The Dancing Wu Li Masters'

“Science is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition.” -- Alan Turing
