Absolute crappola. Evolution ONLY deals with imperfectly self-replicating organisms.

Chill, dude. Evolution is a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form. It may apply to biology of course, but that is hardly all that can be explained by evolution. Everything can. Everything can be explained without God, too. Does that make such an approach more "scientific?" No. No matter how much you thnk it does.

If you can't test your claim, it can NEVER be science.

And the claim that God is always and forever outside of science cannot be tested, so such a claim can never be science, or scientific. You dig?

"Evolution is a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form. It may apply to biology of course, but that is hardly all that can be explained by evolution."

You are confusing the term evolution for the Theory of Evolution, which deals ONLY with biological organisms. As a word that just describes *change*, it doesn't explain anything. It's descriptive. When you use it in the vernacular sense to mean *change of any kind*, it is NOT a theory. It is an observation, nothing more. The ToE is COMPLETLY different.

"Everything can be explained without God, too. Does that make such an approach more "scientific?" No. No matter how much you thnk it does."

Are you now arguing that God is not testable? Think before you post, Fester. If everything is explainable without God, then there is no phenomena that could be observed that could not just as easily be explained as being from natural processes as being explained by a Designer (God). The idea of science is to be able to make a weighted choice between different options, such that your can have confidence that your choice is the better one. If both options have the same explanatory power, then NIETHER can be chosen over the other. :)

"And the claim that God is always and forever outside of science cannot be tested, so such a claim can never be science, or scientific. You dig?"

The claim that God is not examinable by science is an epistemological reality, it is not in and of itself a scientific statement. As you already know though, I have REPEATEDLY stated that the examination of God by science is NOT Forever outside of science. Why do you keep restating falsehoods that I have corrected you on already? God may be examinable by science at some later date. Right now, He isn't. You have already stated He isn't testable now. Why do you want to make a mockery of both science and theology?
