"IMO, atomic theory has far more veracity than evolutionsm, simply due to the fact that it works with ongoing phenomena upon which it is able to operate with further observation and testing."
That would make it EXACTLY like evolution.
"The farthest back written records of history go - our only hope for eyewitness testimony - is several millenia."
Eyewitness testimony, as has been pointed out to you repeatedly, is NOT a very reliable method to do science.
" I know where conjecture belongs and I know its limits. Evoltuionism, like a bull in a china shop, knows neither."
Why do you bother on these threads Fester? You never learn a damn thing here, and make no effort to try.

That would make it EXACTLY like evolution.Only in a narrow sense, on narrow terms, upon which any reasonable being would agree. The notion of an amoeba-to-man biological history is hardly as certain as atomic theory. The notion of matter organizing itself apart from intelligent design is a philosophical one.

It's better than nothing, which is what the philosophy of evolution has in attempting to support a 4.5 billion year old earth via eyewitness testimony and records written in human language. Interpreting a static record hardly qualifies as eyewitness testimony.

It might be because 150 years of Darwinism masquerading as science merits a response other than silence. It might be because I find the subject interesting. It might be so I can learn the tenacity with which the philosophy of evolutionism clings to its place in the science classroom though it does not deserve a place there. It might be all of the above and more.

I guess it's his turn in the barrel. He does seem to enjoy it, though.

"Eyewitness testimony" is one of the main dogmas of the creationists, sometimes referred to as the "Johnny Cochran Theory" of biology.
