Which results in the merely "plausible"-- better science than that has to be found to build bridges that stay up, that create medicines that don't kill you instead of help you, launch a space vehicle that can locate and flick a comet that's going 100K mph...
When a better explanation for some evolutionary "incident" precludes a previous explanation--who cares?
The holder of the previous opinion just sort of fades out of the picture. No one dies, no bridges collapse, and the rocket never leaves the pad. But no one cares. That's because it's not really science, just the fruitings of the imagination.

You really shouldn't let the Goon Meister write your lines for you. You were doing pretty well without him.
Which results in the merely "plausible"--
That's all science aspires to.
better science than that has to be found to build bridges that stay up,
Huh. Do all bridges stay up? What makes you think the process of induction isn't heavily relied on in the engineering of bridges?
that create medicines that don't kill you instead of help you,
Really? Medicines never kill anyone? Interesting. Are you under the impression that statistical induction is not a fundamental part of the FDA's acceptance criteria for medicines?
launch a space vehicle that can locate and flick a comet that's going 100K mph...
You have no clear grasp of what you are talking about. Even the most intensively deductive mathematical approaches to problem solving do not dis-engage from inductive reasoning in the real world.

What are you fantisizing about now? I have no idea. Is this something you learned from all those creationist-micro-biologists the company you own stock in is chock full of?

Crops parish, people sicken, and oil probes come up dry when evolutionary theory is ignored. Bridges do, in fact, collape, rockets do, in fact, fail to leave pads, and people do, in fact, die, when they fail to use inductive reasoning to keep their deductive robots from running amok and shooting themselves and their creators in the foot.

I recommend saving the patronizing snide remarks for someone who's as out of touch with the nature of biological science as you are, so you can be playing on a level playing field.
