Most people think science works like this:

Guess>Hypothesis>Thoery>Axiom

That is NOT how it works.

A Scientific Theory is a unified explanation of a phenomenon or set of related phenomena. It has a number of attributes, all of which are met by TToE and none of which are met by AGW. Starting with there is a single model and it explains all the data and is predictive. Such is NOT the case with AGW which just throws models at the wall until one well past event almost explains them.

Just look up Scientific Theory — but avoid Creationist sites which twist the meaning. This is a pretty good start: https://www.livescience.com/21491-what-is-a-scientific-theory-definition-of-theory.html

That is gobbledygook. Ask freedumb for scientific evidence for common descent, and watch him equivocate.

The bottom line is, there is not a shred of evidence for common descent, nor for evolution. None. It is just a bunch of just-so stories that have been propagandized to the point that most people believe evolution to be a fact. Real scientists require empirical evidence. Evolutionists have none.

Let's take a look. Alina Bradford wrote:

"Any scientific theory must be based on a careful and rational examination of the facts. Facts and theories are two different things. In the scientific method, there is a clear distinction between facts, which can be observed and/or measured, and theories, which are scientists' explanations and interpretations of the facts." [Alina Bradford, "What Is a Scientific Theory?". Live Science, July 29, 2017]

Ask any evolutionist for facts, and they will either equivocate, insult you, or dump a bunch of "fish heads" into the discussion to stink the place up. Facts are facts, and evolutionists do not have any.

In another Live Science article, Alina wrote:

"Empirical, anecdotal and logical evidence should not be confused. They are separate types of evidence that can be used to try to prove or disprove and idea or claim."

"Logical evidence is used proven or disprove an idea using logic. Deductive reasoning may be used to come to a conclusion to provide logical evidence. For example, "All men are mortal. Harold is a man. Therefore, Harold is mortal."

"Anecdotal evidence consists of stories that have been experienced by a person that are told to prove or disprove a point. For example, many people have told stories about their alien abductions to prove that aliens exist. Often, a person's anecdotal evidence cannot be proven or disproven."

[Alina Bradford, "Empirical Evidence: A Definition." Live Science, July 28, 2017]

Evolution is based on anecdotal "evidence" in the form of just-so stories. It is not science.
