If you can convince us that all of science is wrong, I'll become a creationist in good faith.

Why would one of you being wrong mean that the other is right?

I don't mean to dump this on you specifically, this is just something I see whenever Creationists and Evolutionists meet up... each side seems convinced that if they prove the other one wrong, it somehow proves that their side is right.

...no it doesn't. It only proves that one side is wrong.

Let us not discount theistic evolutionists' beliefs

Theistic evolution is a good example, but I'm speaking more about basic logic. If a person definitively proved the non-existence of God, rendering creationism absolutely irrelevant, it still wouldn't prove evolution right. Similarly, if a person showed concretely that evolution was impossible, it wouldn't say anything about how our species did come into being. Only how it didn't.

No prob. Like I say, I don't mean to dump it on you. But if there's one thing I've learned on message boards, it's that logical fallacies are the enemy.

Re: Demonstrate what we learn is wrong...

The problem is, whether you can demonstrate what I've learned is wrong or not, you cannot demonstrate, beyond any doubt, that the BIBLE is wrong

I pointed out why this argument is a logical fallacy here.

Since you didn't respond there, I guess you missed it. No problem, though. I'm happy to provide the link.
