Yes it is. That is why evolution isn't science.

We'll nail you guys every time you SAY you are scientific and then defend the theory for which there is no evidence.


That is EXACTLY WHY IT IS SCIENCE.

You creationists/IDe's kill me.

Evolution is not science, and is that your expert scientific opinion?

I didn't think so.

I hope you don't mind, but I will take the word of 99% of the scientists over a fundamentalist christian on that score, thanks for sharing your silly opinion though.

When you can convince say, 20% of scientists that your opinion is right, we'll talk again.

Until then, Sorry, but, I'll think you're a little loopy in the head.

in the meantime, let's get an ACTUAL scientific opinion. Shall we?

Physicist, radioastronomer, is evolution science, or is it religion, as little loopy head here claims?

Professional SCIENTIFIC opinions please.

So evolutionism comes with its own choirboys and you want to hear them sing. But the choir is not as big as you believe. Can a handful croaking swamp toads woo the sane world with their pitiful tune? Perhaps there is a theme song for swiss cheese. Give the swamp toads a few million more years and maybe they'll have something to croak about.

I reject the premise that science requires either facts or evidence.

For example, it is possible to calculate the fundamental magnetic charge of a magnetic monopole. In reality, no magnetic monopoles have ever been found; indeed, they may not even exist. Nevertheless, the value of the magnetic monopole charge is a scientific statement. It is testable in principle, even though in practice it has not been (and may not be).

Another example would be the Higgs particle and the technirho. If the Higgs does not exist, then the technirho must exist; if the Higgs does exist, there won't be a technirho particle. Searches are being conducted for both particles; rest assured that all of the physicists involved in both searches are "doing science", no matter how it turns out.

Evolution is a scientific theory whether there's evidence for it or not. The same may be said of Lamarckism. As luck would have it, there is overwhelming evidence for the former, and overwhelming evidence against the latter.

That's a good one! You should be writing for our side! I mean, the evolutionist excuse 'lack of evidence is not evidence of lack' was bad enough. However, your lack of evidence for evolution is proof of evolution really takes the cake! Are you a comedian in real life or do you just play one on these threads?

First I will qualify my answer. Evolution is not my field of study. Now that that’s out of the way, yes from everything I have read and following the discoveries of the scientific community, evolution is indeed science. Creationism/ID are not. The first is a theory that is testable; the second falls in the realm of faith.
