Evolution is a Religious Issue

quote:

---

What you say is true. Evolution is a religion.
The definition of SCIENCE:

​

Science

​

Knowledge based on observed facts and tested truths arranged in an orderly system.

​

Evolution is not testable. So it is not science.

--Im afraid there is a little more to science than you believe, Sog. Furthermore, your assertion that 'evolution is not testable' is ridiculous. But lets give the new guy the benefit of the doubt. Please help a lowly mind--why does Evolutionary theory fail the concept of potential falsification?--Speaking of sound scientific methodology and potential falsifiability, I suggest you read the ICR's list of prerequesite modifiers to scientific inquiry:Error | The Institute for Creation Research'--Then you can tell me what is and isn't pseudo-science--assuming you have an open mind.

Simultaneously, we shall wonder whether research could proceed without such boxes, whatever the element of arbitrariness in their historic origins and, occasionally, in their subsequent development." Kuhn, T. S.; The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, pp. 5, 1996.

The thing with Kent Hovind is that whenever someone doesn't like what he says they try to discredit him by talking about his PhD or where he went to school. You know I wouldn't get on here and talk about where any of you all went to school. Those that throw dirt lose ground. Whenever anyone starts throwing dirt it just shows they are loosing the battle.

You have been given several posts with specific evidence. You have been asked more than once what is wrong with this evidence.
You will have to answer that or you will get a 24 hour suspension to think it over. Your ignorning what has been supplied and questions being asked of you is not debating in good faith.

--I don't want to be challenging evcforum law-enforcement, but I think he should get a little more time. For all we know, he may not even understand the concept of 'evidence', let alone what can appropriately be considered science..--Although I think I was a bit more open-minded, there was a time when I was something of a Hovindite.This message has been edited by TrueCreation, 02-14-2005 20:19 AM
