Do they teach you the definition of scientific theory in this school?
As for this "book I once read". You are new to the forums so I'll cut you some slack. Here's how it goes:
If you wanna say "there was a scientist who said this or that" go ahead and google it. If you can find a reference, post it.
Chances are pretty good that its gonna be from a refuted creo site.
If you start putting up unsupported quotes, you have to be completely willing to accept equally unsupported quotes. then the whole thread basically comes down to the last 10 or so posts of this thread.
"I heard about this scientist who said this"
"I heard the pope said this"
"I don't believe you."
"I don't believe you either".
We can both make up great crazy quotes, but neither of us will score any points with them.
