Re: There's the unfalsifiable theory again
Biology is science, evolutionism isn't.
what about "evolutionary biology?"
Biology should be doing what it is doing, but they should do it without the evolutionism.
actually, that's more or less impossible. see, without evolution, there's no taxonomy. and taxonomy is a BIG part of biology.

taxonomy
from the link.
quote:
Mathematically, a taxonomy is a tree structure of classifications for a given set of objects
tell me, what does a tree structure imply when dealing with animals?

Re: taxonomy
Nothing more than a tree structure that organizes the files on a computer implies. It's a way of organizing phenomena. Now it implies evolution from one to the other, but that's no more necessary than the idea that one computer file begets another.
try again. the correct answer is "common ancestry."

Re: taxonomy
Right. That's the Politically Correct Answer. And woe be to anyone who knows it's false.
if it weren't right, every end on the tree would have the same number of branches. and they don't.

Re: taxonomy
Now, THAT makes NO sense at ALL.
it's a method of sorting, yes. and it sorts by common features. but if there was no common descent, and no evolution, it'd look more like this:
than this:

Re: taxonomy
Good luck. As resistent to learning geology as Faith is, trying to teach her taxonomy has got to be worse.
hell, i don't even fully understand it.
added by edit: someone else wanna take a crack at it? i'm at a loss for explaining it.
