"The first and most important reason for its elimination is the unquestioned fact that evolution is not a science; it is a hypothesis only, a speculation"
- William B. Riley
About this Quote
William B. Riley's quote recommends that he firmly believes that evolution is not a science, however rather a hypothesis, or a speculation. He argues that the elimination of this hypothesis is required since it is certainly not based on empirical evidence or strenuous clinical approach. According to Riley, because evolution is not a science, it needs to not be taught as such in any instructional setting. This perspective remains in opposition to the commonly accepted scientific agreement that advancement is a scientifically-backed theory that describes the origins and development of living organisms. Riley's quote reveals a rejection of this agreement and supporters for an alternative, non-evolutionary belief system.
