it is fair to say that evolution has been scientifically refuted.

Only to you and a few of your creationist/ID buddies there G3K.

Science not only considers Evolution a done deal as far as having been pretty much proven, but it is the basis of most biological sciences.

Sorry G3K, it has been creationally refuted, nothing more.

I don't agree with this point, for the following reasons:

(1) There ain't no such thing as "Science" having an opinion on anything, there are only opinions held by individual scientists.
(2) It is not the basis of most biological sciences. Genetics, physiology, ecology -- those are the basis for the biological sciences. If the TOE didn't exist the biological sciences wouldn't even notice. The only thing that is really dependent on TOE is threads like this one.

For something to be science,you need evidence. It does not matter if 5,999,999,999 people say that evolution is science, and only I say it is not. If there is no evidence it is not science.

For a theory to be science it first of all has to be a theory, and there is no theory of evolution because each time someone makes one up it gets refuted by the scientific facts. That's why over at TalkOrigins they have two dozen theories of evolution, one for every occassion.
