On the other hand, knowing where in the world certain geological deposits are found allows you to make predictions of which fossils can be found there. Paleontologists are doing just that: they figure out what fossils they need to fill gaps, find deposits of the correct age, and after some searching they usually find the fossils. That is using the theory of evolution, as well as geology and other fields, to make predictions. Fulfilling those predictions further reinforces the strength of the theories.

Did you know that there is a model of the solar system with the Earth in the center which can predict the position of heavenly objects fairly accurately. Yet, the model is wrong. We know that today.

If the geological model is so wrong, it should be easy to disprove. Have at it. Creationists should try doing science instead of whining and (as the Dyscovery Institute) does) hiring lawyers and PR flacks. Did you notice the description of their new offices? No laboratories in the description anywhere. But, probably room for a dozen more cubicles for their crack propaganda pushers.

I think it is telling that the major proponents of ID, the hot new scientific theory, are not doing any science -- it is all a PR effort. (Maybe they know deep down that science is right after all!)

***If the geological model is so wrong, it should be easy to disprove.***

And, why is that? Do you have a credible explaination as to why wrong theories, models, etc. are easy to disprove?

Besides, you completely missed my point. Just because something can predict something doesn’t make it right. Unfortunately, macro evolution is impossible to prove since you can’t replicate it in a lab and you won’t be around long enough to observe it in nature. In this regard, it is a dead science. Evolution is no better than any other of what we now regard as false theories, pseudo-sciences, etc. LIKE Astrology.

And, what many scientists today call micro evolution, is really an example of an intelligent design. Before you answer, see if you can figure out why I might say that.
