not just nitpicking evolution

Funny, you seem to forget that a distinctive role of science is the falsification of incorrect theories. This is what criticism of evolution does. Why do you want to make evolution immune from criticism, thereby taking evolution out of the realm of scientific investigation?

This is what criticism of evolution does.

If you were teaching high school biology, what would you present as the single most powerful argument against evolution?

And since the Louisana law requires teaching the strengths, what would you present as the single most powerful argument in favor of evolution?

"that a distinctive role of science is the falsification of incorrect theories"

1. You wouldn't know science if it bit your witch doctor in the butt.

2. You are a foolish little person who argues for the sake of argument.

3. The quote above is the ramblings of a five year-old.

If you ever want me to respond to you again, please offer some scientific evidence to support your own position. What I think you were grasping for in your quote above is that scientists are professional skeptics and that they demand evidence of some thing's existence before believing it exists. This leads to scientists questioning the foundation of a new theory. Yes they sometimes disprove a theory, by proving it is false using their own evidence. Ethical scientists NEVER "falsify" anything. You need to look up the word "falsify".

Magic is the belief that you can cause things to happen in the material world using supernatural means, and communicate with the dead. "Magic" words and phrases are used called spells. You believe in magic as the origin of life. You feel comfortable defending magic and attacking science.

You are a very primitive thinker, not unlike the ancient Babylonians who wrote the story you accept as your cosmology.

As much as I feel sorry for you, I feel much sorrier for the mother in whose basement you reside.

Of course Soliton has to turn your point that science seeks to disprove incorrect theories, as was clear to anyone who can read, into accusations that scientists falsify things. He then has to post the same tripe twice to himself (see 2 posts below yours) while attacking your mother, I guess in the hopes you don’t notice because you’re not pinged (as he quotes you and then posts to himself).
Don’t you just love the superior logic of the evolutionists? Isn’t it great how they always stick to facts and logic instead of maligning, spinning and twisting and going off on tangents?
At least they don’t call you, googlestalk you or spoof your IP. You need to write a column that challenges them for that.
