...as offered as an argument in rebuttal of a suggestion that evolutionary theory seems fairly accurate? Yes, you did.
Reliability depends upon scientific method, and the latter cannot apply to theories of origins.
Sure it can. Where do you think stellar evolutionary theory comes from? Where do you think the Big Bang theory comes from? Where do you think Bode's law of planetary formation comes from?
Too bad evolutionists are so intent upon limiting themselves to purely natural explanations.
That is to say, theories that can be tested using material evidence? Yea, what a shame.
Oh. You mean the communism thing? Like, somehow associating evolutionism with communism has no bearing on the validity of the former? Both are equally depsicable, laughable, damnable. BTW, I've further researched your specious disclaimer WRT to Stalin and evoltionism. Nice, hair-splitting try.
"Where do you think stellar evolutionary theory comes from?"
It is but a preconceived notion, with preconceived experiments and preconcieved results to bear it out while maintaining a smugness bereft of all emotion.

With that kind of wishful thinking I have good reason to believe Santa Claus will visit you this year. Let me know when you have the eight-million-year old scene set up.
