Re: Restating the question
I have read the exchange. You have brought the arguments to the absurd. Instead of producing actual arguments you bring the discussion to a level of absurd. Why don't you actually try to understand the science before you make a ridiculous argument? You have no idea what you do not know anything about, but continue to post absurdities.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Based on that argument all of Harry Potter must be historical.

And Faith and Dredge and Candle2 will always state, unless you show me every step, I dont believe you. Actually even if you gave them every step they would still say godidit.

This thread should have been closed long ago, when it became obvious that he only started it to troll and spout religious inanities.
This thread is truly Bonfire of the Inanities.

Re: Another useful application of evolutionary theory
If the THEORY of evolution is “true”, why don’t you call it the FACT of evolution?
As I said before science does not work in truths. The Theory of Evolution is the best explanation for the data we currently have. It could change if there were data that ran counter to it.
You obviously have no idea how science works. You know about gravity I assume. There is no FACT of gravity. Since there is not I assume you don't believe in gravity.
Scientific theories are not educated guesses. You are using the fallacy of equivocation.
Equivocation - RationalWiki
Here is a quick primer on Theories and Laws. You might want to review to keep from looking so ridiculous in the future.
Hypothesis, theory, law - Google Docs
quote:
Theory: A theory is what one or more hypotheses become once they have been verified and accepted to be true. A theory is an explanation of a set of related observations or events based upon tested hypotheses and verified multiple times by detached groups of researchers...
Some scientific theories include the continental drift theory, the theory of relativity, the atomic theory, and the quantum theory. All of these theories have been tested and verified and are generally accepted by scientists beyond reasonable doubt. Yet scientists continue to tinker with the component hypotheses of each theory in an attempt to make them more elegant and concise, or to make them more all-encompassing. Theories can be tweaked, but they are seldom, if ever, entirely replaced.
A theory is developed only through the scientific method, meaning it is the final result of a series of rigorous processes. Note that theories do not become laws. Scientific laws must exist prior to the start of using the scientific method because, as stated earlier, laws are the foundation for all science.
One should learn a subject before trying to expound upon it.

Troll alert
This vile, hateful post should be a clear sign that Dredge is here for one reason. To troll.
How about we try to stop feeding him. Especially when he tries to veer the conversation from the topic, like this crap. His post should be removed since it is so totally off topic.
If you want to discuss the topic, present an OP to start a new topic.

The time to stick a fork in it was the first time Dredge invoked the supernatural and turned it into a religious proselytizing thread.
