“That’s not science.”

But presupposing something ISN’T true isn’t science either, is it? We bend ourselves like Gumby trying to be neutral, but we never are.

Strawman. That wasn't a choice.

“But presupposing something ISN’T true isn’t science either, is it?” [excerpt]
Interesting thing presuppositions are.

Evolution's got some whoppers.

The starting point of Evolution is that, everything that exists arrived at its current state via completely Naturalistic processes.


The only completely Naturalistic process is Evolution.


These presuppositions, these axioms, these philosophical assumptions, on which the boondoggle of Evolution is built, they are all impossible to disprove.

Because they are assumed to be true. (And philosophical assumptions cannot be disproved)

Which would mean that Evolution is not falsifiable.

And that would put Evolution into the category of religion.



Good for you for homeschooling.
