I don’t know what the fuss is about as outlined in “Students join debate on intelligent design; Campus clubs set up to defend concept” (Page 1, Nov. 25).
It is the age-old argument between believers in Darwin’s evolutionary theory and the believers in the account of creation in Genesis in the Bible.
The fact that the creationists came up with a fancy name, intelligent design, for what they allude to as the complexities of life not yet explained by evolution does not change the nature of the longstanding disagreement.
The argument that the students have with the members of the faculty who favor the evolutionary theory is no different than what exists among the general population.
It is time for all to agree that it is a disagreement that will never be resolved.
Editor’s note: We will devote space in the Voice of the people section for readers to answer the following: If you could give any gift to anyone this holiday season, what would it be? Letters should be submitted by Dec. 10.
