Scientists and scientific theories have to answer challenges to it. They have to disprove the claims of opponents. [emphasis added to illustrate how far out of touch with reality G3k really is...]
This gem shall now be immortalized along with your other astounding quotes:

"You have yet to prove me wrong on anything."

"No, a circle is not an ellipse...."

"Wildly elliptical" planetary orbits

"1720"

Yup, the lamers of evolution refuse to answer scientific questions. We are supposed to believe that evolution 'happened' but never mind how it happened. Well the science of the last 150 years has shown how impossible it is for evolution to have 'happened' and since you folk do not believe in miracles it is really absurd for evolutionists to say that species just transform themselves 'somehow' but it 'happens'.

Popper argued that progress requires a critical structure within which competing theories can be tested. Popper captured his philosophy, called falsificationism or critical rationalism, with the motto "I may be wrong and you may be right, and by an effort, we may get nearer to the truth." Instead of attempting futilely to verify or justify our theories, Popper claimed we should try to falsify them since we need only a single negative instance to refute a universal theory. Consequently, what matters in rational debate is that different positions are open to criticism, which becomes the engine of progress by removing from consideration false theories, leaving only the provisionally best theories behind. The "best" theories could still not be verified or justified, but since they had not been falsified either, they would be preferable to falsified theories. The rationality of holding a particular position would be granted to the extent to which the theory is open to criticism. This makes possible not only progress but also optimism, which is for Popper a moral duty.

The attitudes of the evolutionists prove more than anything I can say that:

Evolution is pseudo-science for morons
