Kenneth Miller's Opinions

Religion Can science prove or disprove the existence of God? Disagree No, it can’t. The existence of a supreme being simply is not a scientific question. A supreme being stands outside of nature. Science is a naturalistic process and can only answer questions about what is inside nature. Beyond that it’s a matter of personal belief. The Supernatural Pitch   The Absolute Disconnect Pitch   Edit Pitches 01 Jan 2004    Source Is the earth approximately 6000 years old? (as opposed to 4.5 billion) Disagree Is there any possibility within the limits of science as we know it, that this earth is between 6000 and 10000 years old? The answer is no, not unless somebody has fooled with the laws of chemistry and physics. ... To accept that the geological evidence could tell us that the earth is as old as it is and yet that the Earth was actually created 6000 years ago requires that [the] creator [is] a charlatan, and I don't reject that on scientific grounds, I reject that on theological grounds.

Evolution Is the theory of evolution falsified by fossil evidence? Disagree The [Tiktaalik] is one of the most vivid transitional fossils ever discovered. It had well preserved scales on its back and web fins just like a fish. It has a flat head with eyes on top which is an early amphibian characteristic and it had actual limbs to support the body. You couldn't get a better intermediate if you tried. ... The more fossils we dig up, the better the evidence we have for this evolutionary transition. Edit Pitches 07 Nov 2008    Source Should Intelligent Design be taught in science class? Disagree The [Dover Area School Trial] demolished any contention that this thing called Intelligent Design is a legitimate scientific theory. ... it showed how thoroughly we could show that Intelligent Design is a religious doctrine masquerading as science.
