"We can make statements about the universe, but they are just best guesses. They are not answers. "

Sure they are answers. When we use science we have the ability to approach truth too.

"I don't need a better method to prove that a scientific theory is still just a best guess based on imperfect information"

I was asking what method YOU use to arrive at what you have called *answers*. Divine revelation? Are you perhaps the Intelligent Designer we have been hearing about and therefore don't need to arrive at new information?

"Evolution is just a best guess. Admit it or you look as foolish as you say the ID people look."

It's a well evidenced explanation about how life changed over time. Is it imperfect? Sure... no theory is based on perfect knowledge. There is NO better way to approach truth though, so it is what we are stuck with. The only people who look foolish are the ones who claim to have a direct link to the Divine Truth.

Approaching truth and finding the truth are not the same thing. Basically, you are just saying it is a best guess, but you won't admit to save your life. LOL Now who is dogmatic.

I never said I had the answers or that I had any means of obtaining the answers. I just point out that science does not have the perfect way to find the answers either, and the theories are nothing more than best guesses based on imperfect information. Theories are not facts.

I never said that I have a better way to find answers, but science does not have the perfect way either. The bottom line is that nobody knows the answer. Evolution is just a best guess based on imperfect information--it is not a fact.
