Sorry, narby, but I purposely didn’t even leave room to argue about this, and yet you persist and insist on making an argument about it.
My exact statement: “Biology existed long before the hypothesis of evolution”
This statement says nothing about whether evolution is currently a theory or not, because the subject of the sentence is “Biology”, and the “existed long before” is obviously going to refer to something that existed at some more specific point or period of time, and that something is obviously “the hypothesis of evolution” which everyone, except you, seems to accept as having existed.
You knew that, and, in fact, I just finished telling you exactly that in my previous post (without the reading comprehension lesson), and yet you continue to nag and fret like some grand inquisitor for the communist party that someone somewhere on this planet used the words “evolution” and “hypothesis” in the same sentence.
The surest sign that fanatics have turned an idea into cultic dogma is when they relentlessly hound every combination of words that could possibly be rearranged and construed into something contrary to their precious world view.
You knew that, because in your mind you despise and fear people who you think are like that; and yet you’re becoming what you hate.
So said E-Mat, after he spent time parsing the exact meaning of his previous statement.
Your previous posts used a tried and true technique of labeling something that it was not (calling evolution a "hypothesis"), and now parsing the wording of posts.
Nothing so surely indicates the bankruptcy of an argument than when it's proponent abandons the discussion of the subject at hand and begins cheap word trickery.
