Madam,- Ian Hickey (November 8th) criticises Dick Ahlstrom's excellent summary of the two papers which appeared in Nature, a very reputable scientific journal (The Irish Times, November 4th). He adds: "The so-called Theory of Evolution is. . .so full of holes that it's a wonder that it floats at all."
The Darwin-Wallace theory of natural selection remains unchallenged by any reputable scientist in modern times. The creation cult is not science. - Yours, etc.,
