The Issues of Death

Nobody in science is an advocate of death. Nobody would say it's a good thing either. Death is what it is. Science and evolution in particular do not highlight death so much as they highlight survival. It is the survival of a species and a population that drives natural selection to act. It isn't just the death of those who cannot adapt. That is but a small part of a much larger system.

Science never makes judgments or moral arguments on such mechanisms. It can only further the knowledge of how and why something works the way it does. The case for death laid out in biblical Christianity is based on theological issues and not observable, testable matters that can be verified or falsified. They are assumed on faith. Given that this is from the ICR, it's clear there is a touch of bias in the writing. They're trying to associate evolution with death and death naturally scares people. So if you scare people then maybe you'll scare them away from evolution. It's like fearmongering, only it twists the facts and perceptions. It's dishonest at worst, misguided at best.
