"That's because we're talking science and not mathematics."

The "there is no proof outside of math" excuse. Science is not math, but yet it gives proof of its statements. That is why science is so respected - it is not charlatanism (or should I say Charleyism?). Science gives proof of its theories - they give experimental proof, practical proof, logical proofs and many other kinds of proof. Real science not only gives proof of its statements, it strives to give such proof, it searches for such proof, proudly displays such proofs and uses those proven theories to advance newer theories thus giving renewed proof of the validity of the older theories. Only evolutionists expect everyone to take the word of the their charlatan, the petty god Charles as full and sufficient proof of their theory.

At least medved made it into the '80's this time. I'm thinking its time to update the old spreadsheet.

I've gotta assume you studied science in public school. I'm not aware of many "proofs" in science. Science works with observations and develops theories based on those observations that can be worked into testable predictions.

Some theories work pretty well for a while, but end up wrong in the end, like Newton's laws of motion. Some theories start slow, work well for a while, and then are wrong in the end, like general relativity. Then there are fun theories like dark matter - raw speculation at times, but interesting results here and there.

I'd like to know one thinig in science that you consider "proven". And no more gel electrophoresis because I know you don't understand how it works.
