"The test of science is not how provable a theory is, but how reasonable it is."

Many thanks for demonstrating that you don't know jack about science or the scientific method.

I know enough about science to recognize it is limited, and thus expresses itself predominantly in terms of theories which, by definition, are not absolute proofs.

So it is reasonable to believe the universe magically appeared out of nothing. It is reasonable to believe that the complexity of the human eye, the human brain, everything we see was the result of random chance. It is reasonable to believe all the variables required for life on earth just happened. It is reasonable to believe in evolotion (macro) without any evidence to support that theory.

Not to intrude, but there is no such thing as the "scientific method." aka the "magical" or "mythical" scientific method. Another misperception, fostered by K-6 grade Science Books.

Scientists use many different methods.
