Well, fair enough, but then you went on to list several things that you said were "proved" in science, one of which actually wasn't correct.
Can you understand where the confusion lies when you do something like this?
We know you reject Evolution, Faith, which is why, when you use the word "proof" in the way you have been, it tends to lead us to thinking that you misunderstand the meaning WRT science just like most other creationists misunderstand (and misuse) the meaning.
The truth is, you do make many errors when you discuss the science. When others, even professional scientists, attempt to correct those errors, you often resist or retreat. Can you really blame us for not assuming you understand the tentative way scientists use the word "proof"?
What is so repugnant about using the standardized vocabulary? Isn't your goal in your writing to communicate your meaning as clearly as possible? I know it is with me, and it seems to be so with you as well. By refusing to use the standard terms, it is as though you are expecting Russian speakers to figure out what you mean when you occasionally slip in some Portugese words every now and then in conversation, and then blaming the Russian speakers for not figuring out what you mean.
If you use the standard terminology, there will be no question of what you mean, and we can move forward.
You need to speak in our language if you want us to understand.
