It's called "science." That's how it works.

It's called biased guessing. Unless they have a time machine, it's all just speculation.

If "Science" were to spend as much time and money on proving creation like they do trying to disprove it, we'd all be wearing halos by now!

Luckily for good 'ol stubborn man kind, quantum psychics (GASP! Why, that's "science" too!) is finally catching up with religion, and it's about time.

I know we're supposed to be all serious here, but the idea of quantum psychics is pretty funny.

I'm with you. I don't call this science at all. They do not question their premise (life arose spontaneously from dead matter) and they do not question their conclusion (human life evolved from the life which arose spontaneously from dead matter).

They just insert new intermediate steps whenever their old theory is found to have holes. I call it dodging and weaving in an attempt to stick with premises and conclusions which were accepted on faith a long, long time ago.

Quantum physics resembles religion only in that they are both so contrary to what our senses tell us as to be hard to believe. Unlike religion, quantum physics is testable.

Is a "quantum psychic" someone who tells you your future in discrete packages? : )

Complete nonsense.

Once they come up with a proposed model (as they have here), based on what is already known (i.e. the laws of physics and chemistry, the age of the Earth, etc.), the model will then produce predictions which can be tested (for one example, about what chemical compounds should then be found in ancient rocks, and in what proportions as a result of such an early-Earth atmosphere, which can be tested by actually analyzing such rocks). This allows the hypothesis to be confirmed (if the tests match the predictions of the model) or falsified (if the tests fail to match the predictions of the model).

*That's* science. It is far more than "just speculation", and it does not require "a time machine" in order to test such ideas.

Please try to learn something about science before you attempt to critique it.
