much of evolutionary theory is good schoolwork and useful for science.
"Much"?
Out of curiosity, which parts are not useful science in your opinion?

1. Evolution
So, population genetics is a completely bogus field?
Please explain.

2. The big bang theory
What does the Big Bang Theory have to do with the Theory of Biological Evolution?
Please explain.

3. Stupid ghost crap after death theory
There is no scientific theory that involves ghosts after death, so this is just nonsense.

Re: The Shadow Knows....(heh heh heh heh)
Ok, let's review my question which you answered so we don't lose focus.
I wrote:
Out of curiosity, which parts (of evolution) are not useful science in your opinion?
You then gave the following list:
quote:
1. Evolution
2. The big bang theory
3. Stupid ghost crap after death theory
I then replied, asking you to explain how popularion genetics wasn't useful to science, how the Big Bang was related to Evolution, and I also stated that there was no scientific theory that involves ghosts after death.
Now, you write:
quote:
1. Genetics and Evolution are 2 different things even though evolution involves genetics. Genetics is useful.
Ah, but population genetics is specifically the application of evolutionary theory (speciation, adaptation, natural selection, mutation, extinction, etc.) combined with our knowledge of genetics in order to better understand large-scale changes in populations.
read more here:Population Genetics on Wikipedia
If you say that Evolution isn't useful, they you are saying that the entire field of population genetics isn't useful.
Is this what you want to say?
quote:
2. I never said the BB theory had anything to do with evolution.
Check what my original question was above. I asked "which parts (of evolution) are not useful science in your opinion?" Since you answered with something about the Big Bang, you actually did say that it had something to do with Evolution.
Now, I know you probably didn't intend to, but this is why it is important to read very carefully and to make sure you understand what is being said or asked before answering.
quote:
3. Yes there is
Huh, that's news to me.
Can you please tell me about this scientific theory which involves ghosts after death? If you have a link to information, that would be great.

Re: The Shadow Knows....(heh heh heh heh)
OK, we can ignore everything we were talking about, except this.
I'd really like you to address this issue:
