"Science, unlike religion, is not dogmatic. If facts change then the theories adopt to them."

Science, like religion, is absolutely dogmatic. Facts may change and theories may change but philosophical naturalism is always assumed 'a priori'.

"Plenty has been discovered that has refined various aspects of Evolution over time. Different branches, different origins for particular species, different sources for functional elements, etc. None if it, however, has undermined the basic premise of evolution. Not once. Nor will it ever."

That's correct. The basic premise of evolution is philosophical naturalism. Since that is assumed 'a priori', nothing can ever undermine that assumption.

"Not even close. Evolution is solid science and nobody is on the run except the desperate bible-thumpers and their irrational ilk."

Uh oh. You used the 'ilk' word. That automatically makes you 'the winner'. No evolutionist has ever been desperate or irrational enough to fake evidence.

"Reality bites. Refusing to understand reality? That's something to LOL over."

It sure is. LOL!

Not assumed - proven.

Exactly. The fact that things are rational, predictable and provable is assumed much like the sum of 2+2 is "assumed."

That's a far cry from attributing that which we don't (or, in some cases, can't) understand to the great ugga bugga in the sky.

Uh oh. You used the 'ilk' word. That automatically makes you 'the winner'. No evolutionist has ever been desperate or irrational enough to fake evidence.

The difference is that if they do they are eventually found out and the results corrected as happened with the Piltdown man hoax.

The biblical hoax hasn't been fixed yet. . .
