Re: Disproving Natural Selection Through Probability

But there might be other places to look, like the development of a body part plus the instinct to utilize it.

So your purpose is to try to find things that may disprove evolution?

Theodric, you asked if I was trying to find a way to disprove evolution by natural selection. Yes.

Do you realize that if you found ten things wrong with evolution it would not discredit the theory?

Also, even if TOE was totally proven wrong this would in no way make creationism or ID correct. No matter how much energy that is put into discrediting TOE, discrediting it will not help creationism or ID. They need to have some sort of evidence on their own. Proving TOE incorrect does not prove either of them correct.

This is a point that the vast majority of creos and IDers do not understand.

Acknowledged. But if the theory fell into doubt among scientist, I can envision more lay people giving the Lord a chance.

Nice to know that science has such value to you.
Then again why do you think this will help your form of religion. If TOE was discredited I fail to understand why that would bring people to Jesus. All that will happen is another scientific theory will emerge. Science will not disappear.

Science will continue to be science and religion will continue to be religion. TOE and regious belief are not opposite sides of a spectrum, they are not even on the same spectrum.
