Hi Quetzal,
Again. I am pressed for time (got to get to work). My apology but I want to get something out today.
As I see it, your rule 1, by implication, has two parts:
1a - A theory must be able to be proved false.
1b - A theory must be able to be proved true?
I think we agree that God can not be proved false (that is the impetus of your rule 1 is it not?).
Since God can not be proved false there is always the chance that God is truth. As long as there is a chance that God is truth then evolution can not be proved true. Therefore, tToE is not a valid theory. Sorry for the sophistry.
I really want to do more with this and my Saturday morning looks better at this point so I hope to "read" from you tomorrow.
Very best wishes,
Bob, Alice, and Eve
