American scientists have cocked a snook at new-age creationists who
peddle the idea of intelligent design by voting Darwinian evolution as
breakthrough of the year.
The editors of the journal Science said several studies published in
2005 have shown beyond any doubt how evolution underpins all aspects
of modern biology. "Painstaking field observations shed new light on
how populations diverge to form new species - the mystery of mysteries
that baffled Darwin himself," they wrote. "Ironically, also this year
some segments of American society fought to dilute the teaching of
even the basic facts of evolution. With all this in mind, Science has
decided to put Darwin in the spotlight by saluting several dramatic
discoveries, each of which reveals the laws of evolution in action."
