Evolution is an explanatory system,

Right.Just like the Atomic Theory of Matter is an explanitory system, and the several Theories of Gravity are explanitory systems, and theGerm Theory of Disease is an explanitory system.Why do you single out a single Biological theory, which uses the exact same scientific method as the others I've mentioned, as somehow not being scientific?Do you also reject the scientific legitimacy of these other theories?

it is not science as such.

Science is merely misused to support evolution.

Yeah.According to you, hundreds of thousands of professional Evolutionary scientists who have been studying life on Earth over the last century or so are a bunch of complete, knucleheaded morons and are utterly incompetent at doing what scientists do: i.e. testing theory.What was MD saying about people being unable to deal with reality, and so make up preposterous explanations for why their beliefs contradict it?This message has been edited by schrafinator, 01-06-2006 11:44 PM
