I am good at pointing out the endemic use of fallacies and where 'science' regularly crosses over into metaphysics. Many people don't like that because they don't like to re-examine their beliefs.

If you have any rational arguments, please post them so we can discuss.

Otherwise, you merely confirm my contention that evolution is metaphysical and evos have few arguments that aren't metaphysical or fallacies.

Argument from authority may be a logical fallacy, but science isn't primarily deductive in nature. Science is inductive, empirical and cumulative. You don't successfully attack science with logic. You add to the accumulation by discovering new stuff. You overturn paradigms by incorporating existing knowledge in more comprehensive paradigms.
