Just don't try to define "theory" out of the dictionary. You'll get flamed for that. Scientists, I have been repeatedly told, have their own special version of the definition. (so as to accuse creationists of semantics.)You may want to bone up a bit on your science education again. I know you have told me you have taken lots of classes....Didn't stick I guess.

Some argue? It isn't unanimous? Yes, there there are scientists who make the case that chimpanzees are sufficiently related to humans that the taxonomical classifications should be the same on the genus level.
Is that what you are saying?
What I'm saying is, like it or not, you are genetically and taxonomically related to the rest of the Hominidae family.

You aren't bothered by an anti-American, anti-Christian group in your corner . . . I would be.
Does it bother you that your creation belief is shared by a great number of anti-American Islamic fanatics?

But, but, I was told here on FR that there are no contradictions in science.

Placing them in a certain order to support your point of view is man's idea. Talk about making the data fit your theory.Perhaps you should try to understand the evidence before criticising a bizarre cartoon version of how scientists treat fossils. Do you really think people who spend their lives on this are that stupid?

I suppose you consider yourself clever.At least you don't suffer from the possibility of that particular vanity.

Scientism is an Amoral religion. Meaning, of course, that science does not attribute ongoing events to the interventions of God. Neither does science blame God for hurricanes and earthquakes or disease.
If, however, ID gets into the classroom, it will be taught that the anonymous designer -- space aliens or whatever -- has designed diseases, parasites, predators and other nasties.
If you like the way public schools teach sex education, you will love the way they teach ID.

It's no worse than what evolutionists accuse creationists of doing. Seems as though evolutionists are incapable of accepting the fact that someone can look at the same data and arrive at a different conclusion. Don't scientists even do that at times or are they ALWAYS in agreement?

"flapdoodle"?
What kind of scientific term is that?

Seems as though evolutionists are incapable of accepting the fact that someone can look at the same data and arrive at a different conclusion.This is a common criticism of the mainstream scientific conclusions made by creationists here on FR. Unfortunately it is completely uninformed as to the nature of the scientific process. The key thing about scientific theories is that they should make successful predictions about as-yet unobserved data-points. The theory of evolution has 150 years of success at that or scientists would abandon it. Predictions made by creation-science and ID, such as they are, invariably fall flat on their faces.

This was on one of the last few evolution threads. I have an idea where but it'll take some time to find it.

Of course - we have the same Creator!

Scientists have not nor will they ever be able to "prove" evolution. But that isn't to say that shouldn't keep trying.

And by yours, I know you. You are one of the pompous, smarter-than-anyone else, evolutionists. Not impressed.
