You forgot to address any issue.

I don't agree with the esteemed straw man from Harvard that the constructions of science are absurd, or that the claims and promises are extravagant, or that the scientific community has toleration for the unsubstantiated.

The constructions are based upon natural and quantifiable phenomenon. And they enable one to better observe and predict the universe. This is hardly absurd.

The claims and promises of science have led to modern medicine, understanding of Molecular Biology, getting man on the moon, improving food crops, and the elimination of small pox. I don't know who claimed that science would do better, but they must have wanted grant money.

Scientists test claims, therefore that which is unsubstantiated isn't science. It is an unsubstantiated hypothesis.

Now compare that with the constructions of theology (such as the Trinity which Thomas Jefferson rejected as absurd), the claims and promises of religions (promise them everything, but only after they die and only is some far off land of make believe), and the toleration (and often enforcement) of totally unsubstantiated dogma.

Isaac Newton also rejected the idea of trinity as absurd.

That is the greatest thing about evolutionary theorists, they have the luxury of ignoring anything that doesn't support their pre conceived positions.
