Evolution is a religion, because you cannot use the scientfic method to test your theories. Such as, not being able to fuse past iron.

When I make a statement: "the tools in my garage were put there by evolved intelligent beings," it is subject to verification. That makes it a statement within the boundaries of science. Not religion.

When you make a statement: "The tools in my garage were placed there by a ghost that no one has ever seen, nor will ever see until they reach a state from which they cannot return to give reliable testimony." You are making a statement outside of the boundaries of falsify-ability. That makes it religion.

That you don't know the difference between the two is unsurprising, given your general level of ignorance. That you think your religion has equal evidentiary value or veracity to facts that can be verified by any intelligent person is shocking and disappointing. But again, it is not surprising.

Also not surprising is the fact that you know nothing about physics. Saying that the binding energy curve favors fusion below iron, and fission above it, and that therefore it is impossible to fuse elements heavier than iron is as incredibly stupid as -- and 100% analgous to -- saying: "Steam has more energy than liquid water. Therefore, water can never be a gas."

Nope, not even close.

Fusing elements with Z > 26 requires the input of energy. That doesn't mean it can't happen. It's been happening in stars every single second for about the last 13.8 billion years give or take.

Please learn some science. You're embarrassing yourself and every Young Earth Creationist who shares your cause.
