“But since you like Ruse as some kind of authority, let's check out some of his *other* comments which more directly bear on whether he considers evolutionary biology credible or anti-evolution positions to be an improvement, shall we?” [excerpt]
You like Michael Ruse?
‘Since making this claim, Popper himself has modified his position somewhat; but, disclaimers aside, I suspect that even now he does not really believe that Darwinism in its modern form is genuinely falsifiable.’ —Michael Ruse [link]

Not really. You're mistaking me for OneVike.

Through long experience, I tend not to find the ruminations of philosophers very reliable when it comes to how science actually works. The same goes for lawyers.

No I do not like him. I used him as an example of how one of their icons think evolution is a religion. Read my post #291 and you will see in what context I used him to make my point that evolution is a religion and it is so stated by Mr, Ruse in his book.
