G: "Sustainable incontrovertibly by the evidence" is not possible scientifically. You don't get to make up your own criteria and demand that science comply with them.

Which is what I have said all along.

No, it isn't. You've been demanding "proof." There isn't any in any of science. And making up your own criteria and demanding that science comply with them is exactly what you're doing.

You have faith in the theory of a single celled organism developing into a man even though there is no proof. Thanks.

No faith whatever. Evidence. Lots of evidence. You appear to be unaware of it. There's no requirement that you should be aware of it, unless, of course, you think you're qualified to pontificate on the matter.

G: No one can prove whether ID false or true. The problem with ID is that there is no possible way to falsify it, which is not the same as proving it false. You do understand the difference?

What it all boils down to is that you have your faith and I have mine. This is what I have said from the beginning of this thread.

Missed it again. Batting .000; congratulations. No, that's not what it boils down to. Although, in the face of such militant ignorance, I'm coming to the conclusion that posting to you is a waste of valuable pixels.

You'd like to be able to weasle your way out of admitting it. You can't.

Still batting .000. You are relying on an inability tell the difference between faith -- which exists in the absence of evidence, and evidence -- which requires no faith whatever. I can tell the difference. So can everyone who's studied science. So can many people who have never studied science. You can't.

Teaching the theory of evolution in the classroom is little more than foisting off a fraud on the nation's youth. You can't prove it, yet it is taught every single day as fact across this nation.

No, it's taught as a theory ... the only scientific theory that covers all the known facts. It's no more a fraud than any other scientific theory. This has been pointed out to you several times on this thread, yet you seem not to acknowledge it. I'm beginning to think you're ducking the points made here.

Willfully.

Dishonestly.

As though you don't want to deal with them.

Yes I did, demand proof. That would seem to be a reasoned way to find out what truth is. I guess that's a foreign concept to you.

What I said all along, was that one couldn't buy into the theory of evolution without adopting that belief on faith.

You have stated that nothing in science is provable, so obviously you agree.

Lots of evidence. LMAO Either it's provable or it isn't. If it isn't as you and or others have claimed here, then it's just a theory. Believeing that theory is a faith based belief.

Look bud, we're 200 posts into this thread and you folks are still claiming nothing in science can be proven, but you believe the theory of evolution anyway. If that's not batting zero, what is?

Look, belief in something that can't be proven has to be based on something. In the absense of proof, it has to be based on faith.

No, it's taught as fact an you know it. It was in my day and it still is.

Your evidence either proves what you believe, or you have chosen to believe something you cannot prove. I have no problem with that. I still say that it is wrong to teach something that cannot be proven, as fact.

I guess that makes you dishonest as well.

Wilfully.

As though you couldn't bare to deal with it.
