All the evidence a scientist has exists only in the present. All the fossils, the living animals and plants, the world, the universe—in fact, everything, exists now—in the present. The average person (including most students) is not taught that scientists have only the present and cannot deal directly with the past. Evolution is a belief system about the past base on the words of men who were not there, but who are trying to explain how all the evidence of the present (that is, fossils, animals, plants, etc) originated. (Webster’s Dictionary defines religion as follows: “ . . . cause, principle or system of beliefs held to with ardor or faith.” Surely, this is an apt description of evolution.) Evolution is a belief system—a religion!
