To bad (according to Popper) Darwinism CANNOT be falsified. Therefor it is NOT a scientific theory.

Too bad Popper changed his mind about that. But since you've read Popper only in snippets on creationst websites, you wouldn't know, would you?

Link to a letter by Popper to the New Scientist, in 1980, emphasizing that he regards TOE as scientific.

Show how Popper maintains ToE can be falsified. Better yet, you show me. (que waiting music)

As I have already shown...when the actual empirical evidence is against ToE, it never allows itself to be falsified, no way is the ToE priesthood going to allow I.D., even absent any mention of a creator, to even be on the table as a falsification to their theory...even though the actual evidence both empirical and logical, and from many other scientific disciplines favors I.D.

How can a theory be falsifiable, if it can accommodate contradictory data over and over, and yet absorb that data? Evolutionist usually just label a criticism sneeringly and then wait 20 years later and say, O, yeah that is debunked, we sneered at that idea 20, 50, 100 years ago.

But you have never even answered the question of why does all life and ecosystems appear to be designed? And that overwhelmingly so! Why does all life scream, purpose, goal, design, teleology?

Why are all the physical constants of the universe finely tuned for the existence of carbon based life? Life that can ultimately contemplate its own consciousness and the nature of the universe, and all this came about by blind random chance, and some inherent properties of insensate matter?

You simplify things beyond belief for the sake of this sad pathetic theory, evolutionists speak of the evolution of the eye, as if it exists in a vacuum, but the eye is nothing without the entire body, and the brain that interprets the collection of billions of photons a second.

And that means nothing if not limited to a small spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, and that means the earth has to be a certain distance from a certain kind of star, with a certain kind of atmosphere, and that solar system has to be in a certain part of a galaxy so it is not torn apart by gravitational forces, and on, and on to 1 x 10 to the 250 power of improbabilities...a number beyond all the atoms in the universe!

Only you geniuses seem to be able to take your eyes out with the red hot poker of evolutionary belief that you may then strive to ignore the obvious, let alone honestly investigate the possibility, even the necessity, of teleology to explain biological systems.

You were known and predicted two thousand years ago:

Romans 1:18-22 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.


Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
