>>A whiner quoting the scientifically illiterate. Oh, yeah, I'm impressed. Not.

Name calling, the last resource of the liberal, also sometimes the first.

The "Theory of Evolution" It's a theory See: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/theory for a definition of theory Specifically look at #6 "An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture"

you seem pretty adamant about something that cannot by definition be proved, and you also seem sure there is no other possible explanation.

In a truly statistical universe everything possible must happen. -- Simple proof that we do not live in a truly statistical universe

P.S. I NEVER speak in absolutes.

"It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt." - What Mark Twain Didn't Say I'm surprised people still use this objection. Even AIG (http://www.answersingenesis.org/Home/Area/faq/dont_use.asp) discourages this. The definition of a theory in science is not the same as in an everyday context. Whereas a theory means "guess" in an everyday context, scientifically, a theory is a well-supported conceptual model that explains a series of facts and is supported by empirical evidence. A theory is the highest standard in science. Gravitation is a theory, there's atomic theory, germ theory, heliocentricity is a theory. Also, proof is non-existent in science and pretty much only exists in mathematics. Science must be tentative and at no time is concluded on a subject. For example, 400 years ago, Newton's theory of gravitation basically, under your argument, would have been proven. But go forward 300 years, and you see Einstein correcting even Newton.

Did #1 somehow offend you?

Do you believe the Earth orbits the Sun?

I'm not calling names. Schlafly is a whiner. I've read her stuff. Coulter is scientifically illiterate. I've read her stuff.

You just called me a liberal, without any justification for doing so. The name caller on this thread is you (and a few other lowlifes).
