Len Hanley: Exploring whether or not evolution is a belief or a science

To The Daily Sun,

Many schoolbooks and materials that are used for "teaching" students about dinosaurs like the Megalodon shark begin by stating, "millions of years ago" and are designed to come up with questions like, "Why did all dinosaurs become extinct?" to help children "think critically."

However, it is designed to pre-program them on what evolutionists want them to think. That's called indoctrination, not education.

Let's look at what they don't want students or taxpayers to know by not putting these in the science textbooks or educational materials so-called, using just the Megalodon alone, since its almost Shark Week and June 15 was Megalodon Day.

In National Geographic's "Dinosaurs," January, 1993, Vol. 183, No. 1, p. 147, it says, "No human being has ever seen a live dinosaur." Now hold on, does he know that or does he think that? He can't know that, so he thinks or believes it. Which is fine, but making taxpayers pay for such things to be taught as science, when science has to do with things we can observe, test, and demonstrate within our physical world when that is a belief not science doesn't make sense.

So when the evolutionist says, "Megalodon lived approximately 2.3 million to 2.6 million years ago" that is a belief, not a science because we haven't explored 100% of our oceans and we have seen only a fraction of what lives there. Plus they would have to be omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent to know it.

Coelecanth was extinct 70 million years ago, but found alive in 1938. The Trilobite went extinct 500-600 million years ago, and is still alive today with unfossilized dinosaur bones with red blood cells and soft tissue still inside. Yet they still tell us Megalodon went extinct over 2 million years ago? If that is science and not a religious worldview, question it and see what happens.
