The creationist side tries to argue against science using sophistry, a form of philosophy I guess. However, the only thing science cares about is actual data and evidence.
So, I just don't buy your argument, except to the extent that all science falls under "Philosophy of Science". But the equivocation that science is philosophy is simply a logical fallacy.
I have no need to use sophistry.
And I am not arguing this point from a certain side.
I too, am using a hypothesis, gathered facts, and a resultant outcome to come to a theoretical conclusion.
And that being that many on FR are using philosphical arguments to uphold the basis for the ToE.
How you can classify that as sophistry I can't quite figure out. And not all science is based on philosophy, but the ToE does contain a certain degree of philosophical argument in certain groups, just as I stated.
