EVOLUTION

A truly perfect scientific theory which explaims in detail how everything in the universe came into being -- slowly. The theory of evolutions is so perfect and flexible in its ability to explain virtually all observable phemomena or opinions that it would be impossible to even conceive of an experiment capable of disproving it. (see Law). -quote being disputed-

First lie: No one claims that the theory of evolution (or any *other* scientific theory) is "perfect". Scientific theories are always open to correction and refinement as needed.

Really? Please list the admitted (by evolutionists) imperfections of the theory.

Second lie: The passage "so perfect and flexible in its ability to explain virtually all observable phemomena or opinions" is obviously a facetious way to imply that it's defined in a weasely way so that anything whatsoever could be claimed to fit.

Okay, so tell us exactly what evolution claims is not in its purview regarding species and their descent.

Third lie: "it would be impossible to even conceive of an experiment capable of disproving it".

Actually there is a very good example of why the above is correct in The Case of the Pseudogenes . The article details the misadventures of Ken Miller who long claimed that pseudogenes being useless proved descent when it was found that one of them is indeed useful (Makorin1-p1). So what do evolutionists do? They claim pseudogenes to be useful to evolution!

This is the reason why evolution is not falsifiable - in spite of numerous requests (AND THIS IS ANOTHER ONE) evolutionists always fail to state what THE theory of evolution actually states. The reason is shown above, they always want to be able to dance their way out of trouble by claiming the theory never did say what has just been refuted (a la 1984).

It should be noted that in this 'refutation' you have failed to do the one thing which would have made your point: state the theory of evolution and show how the points you dispute do not fit the stated theory. However you failed to do that and thus your refutation is just more rhetoric and the statement made in the quote stands as correct.

I noticed that you made no direct statements for Ichneumon to tear to pieces, what? Are you scared there G3K?

And every bit of your post was just more rhetoric and personal opinion. If you do NOT know the theory of evolution by now, there is NO hope for you.

Go find out, go look it up, go read his links, but no, that might make it too much for you, Not even you could be so dishonest as to claim that there is NO proof after reading such a link?

Nah, never mind, YES YOU COULD!!!
