Argument Against Creationism

Thin lines draw the obscurity between the belief of creationism and the concrete evidence of evolution; making today’s world a precarious place. First and foremost, many scientists and I myself included appreciate the years of research you have done on plant genetics at Cornell University. However, I hope you can address some concerns I have on your views supporting creationism. In most scientific circles, it is commonly accepted that the evidence of evolution is conclusive and based in both observation and research. Therefore, I would like to take the time to explain my views supporting evolution. A few key points I would like to bring your attention mainly lay in contrast to your firm stances concerning the age of the planet and the assertion that species do evolve and the age of the planet. The importance of this debate survived countless generations of scientific inquiry because it was a critical part of step towards a greater quest to explain the existence of life. For many centuries, the evidence on evolution was often unsubstantiated until Charles Darwin, developed the foundational ideas of evolution, creating a set of postulates that when adhered to, could determine if a species is able to evolve. The first of these …show more content…
Dr. Sanford, I implore you to educate future generations about the merits of evolution and take a more optimistic stance. The reason for this letter is to give credence to the assertion that evolution is scientifically grounded and proven while creationism is difficult to test in a lab. As a plant geneticist, your support of creationism genuinely surprises me, but everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. I hoped to have informed you with my views. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my letter. I wish you success on further research and on scientific
