Actually, you are quite wrong. Science starts with a hypothesis, works up to a theory, and then works up to a law. The rejection of this by the liberals merely proves they firmly believe in the relativist and extreme view of science and truth.

By rejecting the principles of the natural sciences they discredit any attempt they make to claim scientific competence. Mere rejection on their part, although the fashionable thinking for so long, does not discredit the scientific principles.

In many ways, the real problem is that the Darwinists are mentally superficial people who want to reject the truth because it is inconvenient. We have such things as Boyle's Law, Mendel's Law, the Law of Gravity, etc.

While these intellectual midgets reject the concept of scientific law, they have been promoting such mentally superficial rubish as quantum mechanics, the big bang, etc.

There is such a thing as absolute truth and necessary truth but they prefer to accept pseudo-science because they are afraid to be unfashionable.

"Actually, you are quite wrong. Science starts with a hypothesis, works up to a theory, and then works up to a law. "

Actually, you are quite wrong.

Hypothesis: The deductions made after studying an occurrence, by collecting data about the occurrence, and turning it into useful information to back up your hypothesis.

Theory:In science, an explanation for some phenomenon which is based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning. In popular use, a theory is often assumed to imply mere speculation, but in science, something is not called a theory until it has been confirmed over the course of many independent experiments. Theories are more certain than hypotheses, but less certain than laws.

Law:A scientific principle that invariably holds true under specific conditions, for instance, the law of magnetism states that likemagnetic poles repel one another, while opposite poles attract.

Various hypotheses might eventually be raised to the status of theory. Theories explain an observed fact. There is the fact of evolution and the Theory that explains it.

Laws are generally able to be stated in terms of mathematics and do not vary under SPECIFIC conditions.


"the real problem is that the Darwinists are mentally superficial people "

The real problem is creationists misinterpret the Bible.
