Current gravity is testable, past evolution is not. You can propose historical theories, but cant show them. (Yes, to a much lesser extent this applies to most theories that require measurement.) Now what is a scientific fact? That is not proved?

My analogy to Creationists is about Dish’s theory that God created light in space to make the universe look old, when it is young. So if he could do this, he could create a universe that looks evolved but is created young. Maybe 100 years ago. As I explain, this is not science. Creationists hate this.

I still need to post about the creationist got-ya games.

Please don’t make me go through this again. You have to know what a scientific theory is and why there is no such thing as a “scientific fact” before we can proceed. Else we are speaking different languages.

No need, I am familiar with them.
