Science Special Issue on Darwin: Is Ignorance Evidence?
It’s fair to confess that scientists cannot be expected to know everything. Often, though, ignorance is presented as evidence that a paradigm needs to continue. The idea is that by following the consensus paradigm, scientists can hope to one day fill in the blanks in our knowledge. How long should this practice continue with a theory as important as Darwinism, whose central claim for 150 years has been that all living organisms have descended from a common ancestor by an unguided process of natural selection? If ignorance of that process is widespread and deep, is it time to think outside the box?
Maybe some recent examples can refine thinking on this question. Science celebrated Darwin’s birthday with some Review articles on issues in speciation. Each author is convinced of evolution. None of them were trying to cast doubt on Darwin’s theory. But how important are the following instances of ignorance they outlined?

This is a good example that shows the errors in Darwinism and the whole idea of evolution. Scientists for years have been trying to prove that evolution exists...but proving false proofs today is just as hard as when Darwin tried it so many years ago. One things scientists forget is that God left all the evidence of creation...trying to disprove our Creator will be a task never done. - mndapa1
