No - this is exactly science. There are no guarantees, there are no proofs, there are no absolutes. The whole concept of the scientific method is that there are qualifiers. All crows are black - no?

What guarantee can you give us that there are no guarantees?

Do you have proof that there are no proofs?

Are you absolutely sure there are no absolutes?

Can you more clearly explicate the scientific method as it relates to science? Some of the scientific historical sciences (geology, anthropology, even biology) are abductive in their pronouncements. Given your pronouncements of no guarantees, no proofs, and no absolutes, your a priori certitude and your devotion to methodological naturalism there are several concepts you must struggle (in vain) with, such as abstract invarient universal entities, consciousness, mathemathics, reason, logic, rational thought and first offer an epistemilogical explaination in a physicalists' worldview.

For example I would ask you if you believe the brain and our noetic faculties must operate normatively in order to in order for homo sapien to truthfully analyze the observations of the universe. Darwin asked this in a different way when he said, "Why would anyone believe a chimpanzee would give rise to a brain (noetic apparatus) with convictions that are true?"

A simple question which I would ask you is this: Do you know it is true that evolution accounts for life on earth?

Very well stated.

What is astounding to me is the extents at which folks go to deny there our nature.

Well done. That one is going to be hard to dismiss with some two bit cliche.

Sorry, I don't engage in the type of question begging that you've tied yourself up with. The scientific method is about observations and predictions - nothing more. And you'll have to point me to that Darwin quote - I'd be interested to read it in context. As to your question, I know that the best explanation for the diversity of life on earth is found in evolutionary theory.
