But this cannot be proven to be true, it can only be proven to be not false.~(~A) = A
Understand?
To: VadeRetro
The thing that gets me is that the worst of these guys run around the forum swearing that nobody ever answers them on their cogent and penetrating criticisms. If ever once nobody shows up to prove it false, it's suddenly true. Morton's Demon.

An animal can only descend from one species not from multiple species. . . Are there too many extinct relatives now? You were claiming zero; I cited four. You do not address that four does not equal zero.
. . . even without the fossils, there should be something close to it from which it could have descended there is no such thing.
Obdurodon dickinsoni is an obvious near-relative of the platypus with a "more generalized" skull. That is, it's some more generic basal mammal on the way to being a platypus. If it doesn't show the transition of all the soft-tissue features, a thing unreasonable to expect, it's nevertheless evidence that said transition occurred in real animals. The features that you can see are in transition. That's evidence.

For example, pi is assumed to be an infinite non-repeating series. But this cannot be proven to be true, it can only be proven to be not false. Could you explain what you're talking about? Pi was *proved* transcendental in the lat 1800s by Lindemann.

Based heavily on the work of Hermite who proved that e is transcendental. What I was talking about is that it cannot be proven in a finite amount of time that no pattern exists in an infinite number of digits.

I'm understanding why biologists duck the debate with certain Creationists. There's just no common ground for discussion. There's gotta be a better way to do this.

...morphism/evolution and Truth/reality don't mix---opposites!
Any surprise--wonder?

For example, pi is assumed to be an infinite non-repeating series. But this cannot be proven to be true, it can only be proven to be not false. Pi CANNOT be expressed with a REPEATING decimal expansion.
If it could, it would be trivial to prove that Pi is Rational, and hence can't be Transcendental. But a proof exists that Pi IS Transcendental, which means your assertion that it might be expressable as a number with a repeating decimal expansion MUST be false.
Note that a repeating decimal expansion is a "pattern", but not all "patterns" in infinite decimal expansions are "repeating."

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I just hate to see Christians turned away from observation of Creation (I'll call it "science" if I can get away with it) because the methods are shared by atheists.

Do you know what makes--validates theories--doubts---the realm of reality vs fantasy-delusians(evolution)?
What can you build on morphism---only mush--evolution--morphism!
Is their a reasonable--rational fantasy--morph?

Evolution is 'special'--maneuverable on wheels science for the mentally deranged--handicapped!
Plastic science---morphed for the crippled---a ramp-lift-van!

I would begin with God and work into the observations. Like you say, starting from some fantastic "objective" reality where God requires "proof", is where the problems start.

Reality will explain itself---if one will let Him...ask!

Always good advice. Thanks.
