Dear Editor,
In your story about the Intelligent Design/Evolution, you have the line: “The theory was established in the early 1990s and refutes evolution…” This is a misuse of the word “theory.” While there is a Theory of Evolution, there is no Theory of Intelligent Design. A scientific theory is body of evidence which backs up a concept. There is no evidence that stands up to scrutiny for Intelligent Design, so it is, at best, a hypothesis which can never be tested.
