From GLYN PHILLIPS
As for the fossil record, it is known to be incomplete in certain areas.
Accordingly these incomplete areas cannot be used to prove or disprove Darwinism.
Darwinism is supported by the more complete areas of the fossil record,
and the observation of evolution in living species. It has ousted competing
theories, such as Lamarckian evolution and the Biblical Creation.
Darwinism is the best theory available and its basic principles are
correct. It may need extending, like Newtonian mechanics has been extended
by the special theory of relativity. This does not make Darwinism invalid;
on the contrary, it becomes more powerful.
