It's amazing how the word 'science' has become the banner with which the "Kings New Clothes" sort of people have swathed themselves in order to give validity to what is nothing more than their 'conceit."


Science is but a word that describes a learning process by which a person {a}'observes' something, {B}creates a theory concerning that 'something', {C}tests his theory and then restarts the sequence . There is the 'science" of fine art, the 'science' of cooking, the 'science' of warfare, and so on.


Notice that the entire learning process is completely Dependant upon {A} observing something. {A} is where your so-called "science" based upon evolutionary theory falls apart. No one was there at the beginning of the world and universe. So no one observed anything. This means that your 'science' is not factual at all......its a myth. When the basis of the 'science' is nothing but speculation {myth}, the rest of the tenets, dogma, etc., will suffer from flaws as well.

And by this statement, you prove that you are just as clueless as all the other biblical creationists I have ever seen or read about as to what science is and how it works.

To put it simply---no one has ever "observed" an atom, an electron, a neutron, a molecule of water, a molecule of DNA, or any number of other standard items of science, yet we know without question that they exist, because their existence can be inferred from existing evidence, and from the fact that postulating their "existence" can be used to predict the outcome of experiments in different areas of science. The evidence for evolution is just as strong, and it has also successfully predicted a number of effects later observed in biology, microbiology, and now, molecular biology.

Science tests hypotheses.

Peer review is an important part of the process to Theory.

You should take a remedial science course somewhere.

No one is there in the intergalactic void. No readings of its vacuum exist. Obviously there can be no such thing as a science of intergalactic astronomy or physics. Obviously there is no gravity in this void, since you have no direct readings of it to offer as evidence. It is obvious that there is only microgravity here on earth, since that is the only gravity you can take readings on in present time, and tangibly detect with your naked senses. All else is airy, left-wing conjecture.

...

Science operates almost exclusively on inductive reasoning, which is inherently fragile--and therefore, easy for non-scientists to get inappropriately exercised about--to draw conclusions. Until you acknowledge that, these wailings are going to, quite properly, drop on deaf ears, in scientific circles.
