If not one, then two, or three. And no scientist would agree with you. If it takes two chapters to explain a theory, then either there is no theory, or you are attempting to explain everything at once, even if someone did not ask for every detail.
Evolution is not vague, and not a superstition. It is a very young science
Evolution seems superstitious both in that it claims to be science yet defies description, as we see on numerous threads here, elsewhere, and down through recent history, and in that it seems an imperative, even if left undefined, particularly if left undefined in the realm of the mysterious. Is it science? If so, how does the basic statement of the theory read? even if one dares to grant a similarly vague 'fact' if only for sake of argument. State the theory.
Science is science. And speculative philosophy and pseudo-religion is just that. Is evolution a science?
Not to persuade you, but for the lurkers:
Is Evolution Science? It certainly is. Here's why.
Evolution as Fact and Theory by Stephen Jay Gould.
No, not one, not two, not three. Often not 300. Sorry the scientist do agree with me, efficiency is not now nor has it ever been the goal of science. Precision and accuracy, those are the goals, always and forever. Efficiency is the goal of psuedoscience, efficiency is how people BS others into believing that which is not the truth. Reality simply cannot be reduced to soundbites. If it takes two chapters to explain a theory you're probably short sheeting it.
Evolution does not defy description. Creationists ignore the descriptions given. You've gotten more description in this thread than you deserve, and all you do is stick your fingers in your ears and yell "LALALALALALA you are not giving me a description". Take your fingers out of your ears, shut your yap, and pay attention. The superstition here is your ignoring the data that has been put in front of you, you've been lead to water, your lack of drinking is your own damn fault.
Science is science, and reworking theories to include new data is the ESSENCE of science. And the fact that evolution keeps doing that proves irrefutably that it is science.
