Yeah - whatever. Science is the sum of knowledge produced by observation and experimentation coherently related by the rigorously worked out mechanisms. Science evolves as data is added to that sum of knowledge - changes aren;t whimsical or random.

You mean like when bleeding patients was abandoned? Or do you mean like when the notion of the ether was abandoned? Or do you mean when Peking Man was abandoned? Or do you mean when fixed continents were abandoned in favor of continental drift? In the mean time, how often have christian churches abandoned the notion of God as the source of all blessings, or the Bible as the source of his word?

BTW - God as prime mover is the handwaving of ID - no mechanism, no support, no proof, no nothing - just wave the hand and sacrifice a goat.

The phrase "prime mover" substantially predates the ID movement, and there is every bit as much support for ID, or the notion of a prime mover, as there is for standard evolutionary theory, including all of the evidence that supports standard evolutionary theory, which does not conflict with most of the brands of ID theory floating around.

Maybe you should try the decaf.

Maybe you should try less dismissive, vague BS, and more rebuttals that actually feature enough detail to rebut something.

You have just demonstrated the great strength of science as an intellectual system. All these examples and tens of thousands more are demonstrations of the strength of science as an intellectual system.
