Fun with Darwin | Print |  Email

 

This is just a bit of Humanist, humorous fun really, but also with a serious side. Just for a moment, suspend your disbelief - Edinburgh District Council has agreed to celebrate Darwin 200 big time. OK, they haven't really, however this image represents what Edinburgh might look like if they did. See how many references to Darwin and evolution you can spot in the image above. To see all the detail, click on the image and view the full size version. (Image created by Jack Gold, Edinburgh Group)

Great idea, Jack. Now, can you do the same for Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee and Inverness?

"Evolution is a scientific theory. Which is as close to certainty as you can get." 
 
Is this saying: 
 
a) The mere formulation of any theory means it is almost certainly true? 
 
or 
 
b) There is no conceivable new evidence that would add more weight specifically to the theory of Evolution? 
 
Both statements seem over confident: 
 
a) Many scientific theories have been shown to be false. 
 
b) If a new fossil was found which was transitional it would make evolution more certain (even if some evidence already existed).
