Even an uninformed person can list dozens of untested, unproven scientific theories that have been built on over the years.This may be a bad time to mention my theory; The dinosaur became extinct because they didn't wait 30 minutes after eating before they swam.

AHA! Actual proof that a dinosaur drowned in Noah's Flood!

So are you saying that you are not 100% certain that a space ship can orbit the earth? Confidence in the repeatability of observed behavior != theory explaining that observed behavior.
Being 99.99999999999999% certain that dropping a rock will result in the rock falling does nothing to explain how gravity causes the rock to fall in the first place.

Guys.... this has been a really fun morning. I've had a software application running in the background all day. I don't generally get this kind of time to have fun. The debate has been very insightful.... I mean I've learned this morning that a true scientist can't be 100% certain that a spaceship can orbit the earth, because the theory can never be "proven". I guess you can count me out for one of those paid trips some day. I couldn't take a chance on that theory being wrong.... :)
Have a nice day all!

"So are you telling us that you're not 100% certain that a space ship can orbit the earth? What percent might you feel comfortable with as your assurance level?"
Not what I said at all. Go read it again.

Sorry you came in late... I would have like to have visited with you. Gotta go to lunch. Have a great day. I'm going to. I'm going to spend my lunch hour dropping rocks now that I know there's a chance that one might not fall when I let go.

LOL! One of the best. Godfathers I and II are better, but it's a close third.

I did. Read #98. Also, I've explained the difference between facts and theories. Please try to keep up.

I wrote:
"There was the Theory of Orbital Mechanics, for which our being able to orbit a ship around the Earth is a great boost but it doesn't prove the Theory of Orbital Mechanics. Our confidence in the theory is excellent, but it can never be 100%."
You replied:
"So are you saying that you are not 100% certain that a space ship can orbit the earth?"
Are you illiterate? I was talking about the Theory of Orbital Mechanics, a subset of gravitational theory, and you rewrite it as the *theory a ship can orbit the Earth*. There IS NO *Theory a space ship can orbit the Earth* in science. There never was.
Then you said,"
"I think if you just ask 1000 americans on the street if it is a proven fact that a spaceship can orbit the earth... well I think 1000 of them would say "duh yeah... we've done that". But maybe they're all wrong? "
I already said that a ship can orbit the Earth, but that THAT doesn't PROVE the current Theory of Orbital Mechanics, though it does give it a boost. You are willfully lying about what I have said.
Then you lie about what RogueIsland said and say he said that the fact of gravity is in dispute,
"I'm going to spend my lunch hour dropping rocks now that I know there's a chance that one might not fall when I let go."
He specifically said that the fact of gravity is different then HOW gravity works (which is the theory of gravity). People knew things fell when you dropped them for milenia; they lacked a theory of how it happened. We know that a ship can orbit the Earth; we are not perfectly sure HOW that happens. In fact, add more than 3 objects and we have a hard time working the math for the orbits.
Typical creationist dishonesty.

You are falling into the same trap when you reference the "fact of gravity".
There is a Theory of Gravity.
Theories can be proven or disproven.
The facts pertain only to the results of the proofing, or tests.
There is no fact of Gravity, the word "fact" only pertains to what we observe in our testing of the hypothesis. If ever there is a test which disproves the current Theory of Gravity, then the theory must be thrown out or modified to include this new information.
