Re: Welcome and enjoy
To be honest, Quetzal, I'm not really sure this is entirely true. I think scientists routinely talk about proof and proving; they just don't mean absolute certainty type proof. Certainly this is the impression I garner from scientific magazines, text books and popular science books.
​
Proof in science is closer to proof in law, I guess. Innocent until proven guilty and all that.

Re: Proven or not.
In reply to my own post, I have come up with a way to prove which of the two is the truth. Ok, here's the plan, we all just believe what we want, live our lives, and die. If evolution is correct, nobody will know b/c we'll be dead and no longer exist. However, if Creationism is true, then everyone will know b/c we'll be face to face with the Creator and He'll be asking us why we should be allowed into Heaven.
​
This is false. Evolution does not imply the absence of any afterlife, nor does it imply the absence of god, or a creator.
​
You know. I think I've posted that exact same sentiment in about a quarter of my posts here...
