So I'm working on a classification system which is oriented toward the Biblical idea (and my personal observations) to see how (and if) it worksIf it predicts new intermediate fossil finds and where to look for them as well as mainstream science, you will have something. Otherwise it's stamp collecting.

We'll have to see how it works out. By the way, it is not true to say that a hypothesis is incorrect until it makes a prediction which comes true. For example, lets say I get home one day and my cat is out, the dog is indoors, and the front door is open, then I remember leaving the door unlatched when I left, I can hypothesis "I left the door unlatched, the dog pushed it open and the cat got out." and I could come to all that based on the evidence before my eyes, and I have a good chance of being right. If I am right, then I can make more predictions like "The dog has probably been in the refrigerator" which further confirms if true (but still doesn't prove) my hypothesis. But the dog might not have got into the fridge - and that doesn't make my hypothesis incorrect. I do realize that most believers in evolution will often recite that a theory must make predictions, but it's just not always true.

(Could it be true? Imagine, being forgiven, and having a cause, greater then yourself, to live for!)
