“Provide me with even one truly reputable scientific complete refutation for the TOE.” [excerpt]

The burden of proof does not rest on the disproving of a scientific theory, but on the proving of the theory.


You are taking this out of context. I wasn’t asking you or GGG to disprove TOE, I was asking GGG to back up his statement in his post to me with some proof: whereas the neo-Darwinian synthesis is now merely a theological subject, for it has been thoroughly refuted by science. Even the evolutionists are abandoning the HMS Beagle in search of a new theory of evolution.

Again – show me any proof that any reputable scientists currently working in the fields of biology, paleontology, or geology, etc. have thoroughly refuted or abandoned the TOE?

A scientific hypothesis (unproven theory) is scientifically false until empirically proven. The TOE has yet to meet that requisite.

A hypothesis with observable flaws does not become a scientific theory.

Really? You do realize that the theory of gravity has some flaws in it? Just because recent research has discovered some flaws in Newton’s original theory, doesn’t make the whole thing false or gravity just an “unproven theory”. Science doesn’t throw the baby out with the bath water just because theories are sometimes modified or adjusted by newer evidence. In fact Darwin knew nothing about DNA and genomes but the modern study of those fields, rather than refuting Darwin’s observations has supported them.

“Please; give me just one Biblical reference that absolutely and irrefutably dates the age of the Earth or the universe at 6,000 or 10,000 years old.” [excerpt]

What does that have to do with empirical science?


That’s exactly my point. YEC has nothing to do with science. Thanks for backing me up.

If you can empirically demonstrate that Evolution is even posible, I might consider dipping into my savings.

That wasn’t the challenge. I asked you and other YEC’er to “give me just one Biblical reference that absolutely and irrefutably dates the age of the Earth or the universe at 6,000 or 10,000 years old.”

That means an experiment that everybody can do and repeatably get the same results as you.

EVERYBODY? Really? So if I understand you correctly, if you and I can’t duplicate an experiment at home with our “Jr. Mr. Science Kit”, then it can’t be real science?

When I broke my ankle a few years ago, my doctor ordered x-rays and found the fracture that required surgery. I guess I should have told him that since I didn’t have a home x-ray machine in which I could verify his findings myself, surgery would have to wait until I could prove him either right or wrong?

You’ve admitted your not a scientist, and it shows.

Theatrics is not science.
