False. The theory of evolution is based on overwhelming evidence.
You fail to read my posts closely, I said HUMAN EVOLUTION. Human Evolution has no evidence and is a false religion based on the beliefs of Darwin that was founded in order to disprove Creationism.
"Creationism is a belief, the theory of evolution is a scientific theory The latter is based on evidence."
You seem to completely ignore my dozens of posts were I clearly state HUMAN EVOLUTION. Human Evolution is a belief and is not founded based on evidence.
"The status of theory is only achieved after withstanding multiple tests and making successful predictions"
Thus you have proven that Human Evolution is not a scientific theory since it cannot withstand tests nor can it successfully predict anything. Then it must be a belief, correct?
"Scientists prefer that only science be taught as science. Ideas based on divine revelation and scripture, rather than scientific evidence, do not qualify as science. This should be obvious to all!"
I disagree, many scientists allow Human Evolution to be taught as sound theory because of their hatred for Creationism. That is obvious to me. Whether Creationism should be included in science is a whole other ball game. But if Human Evolution is, then Creationism should be as well since they are both beliefs.
In short, theories are supported by the data or they are not--but they are never "proven."
Thank you for that, many evolutionist will not admit that. There is no data for Human Evolution in the first place so I guess it doesn't fall in this category.
"Second, the world's largest religion, Roman Catholicism, has accepted science in general, and the theory of evolution in particular, as being accurate. It is only the fundamentalist religions (including Biblical literalists and Muslims) who are unable to accept the findings of science."
Not true. There is no way that Catholics accept Human Evolution. They may accept plant evolution and maybe animal evolution, but not Human Evolution. Science has not found anything about Human Evolution and that is why I and others refuse to accept its false religion's lies.
"Finally, I cannot accept that fundamentalists such as yourself are an accurate judge of what science is or should be. When one accepts the Bible as the ultimate authority, and is required to accept every word literally as true, one has abandoned the scientific method. At that point one's opinions on science are no longer meaningful, or even useful, to the conduct of science."
So basically what you are saying is that your an atheist. If you believe in the religion of Human Evolution, then your opinions on science are no longer meaningful or useful to the conduct of science.

Funny that so many who reject the Bible as the ultimate authority are willing to accept science as the ultimate authority, even though it’s proved itself to be unreliable in producing any consistent truths, or any truths at all.
Science is subject to revision as new evidence comes in. That means that the conclusions made on the previous (perhaps faulty) evidence were wrong. And they used those wrong conclusions to what? Demonstrate that someone else is wrong?
I would just love to have someone explain to me how one can use something so likely to be wrong (science)to prove that something else is wrong (religion).
