I didn't say in any of my posts that evolution is nothing but speculation. I do not believe that.
I said that Darwinists fill in the gaps in knowledge with statements of faith. There is nothing wrong with using statements of faith to explain what you can't prove.
I am sure that in the future your faith will be rewarded in filling in some gaps with more knowledge.
My point in talking about the sun revolving around the earth is to illustrate that politically correct explanations have been used before and it set science back 1500 years.
When "scientists" become dogmatic, as Darwinists are, it doesn't advance science. It suppresses other points of view.
They excercise their political muscle to force acceptance of their faith just as much as was used in the middle ages by the church to enforce their faith that the sun goes around the earth.
In the middle ages, heretics were execuited, now they are just flunked or thrown out of school.
My problem with Darwinists is their use of political muscle to enforce their doctrines.
Faith is not the correct word. Science does inference and interpolation. Even Newton did this in devising his laws.
Not only did he make assumptions about missing data, he also fudged his raw data to make the theory look better to skeptics.
This is why science continually looks for confirming evidence, and why theories get modified by new evidence. Even Newton required revision.
