Creation Moment 9/14/2021 - How Evolutionary Storytelling Gets Started...

We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God,... 2 Corinthians 10:5 ESV

"... another common misuse of evolutionary ideas: namely, the idea

that some trait must have evolved merely because we can imagine a scenario under which possession of that trait would have been advantageous to fitness... Such forays into evolutionary explanation amount ultimately to storytelling... it is not enough to construct a story about how the trait might have evolved in response to a given selection pressure; rather, one must provide some sort of evidence that it really did so evolve. This is a very tall order...."  Austin L. Hughes, The New Atlantis, Fall 2012
