See my point? Their ID theory has one purpose, that is to oppose evolution. There is no way you can convince them that in fact, evolution could quite possibly be what the Creator used/is using.

After bond had been acting like he was a Professor -- I cited him to an authority.
Quote from jem:
I will desist from embarassing you on this subject unless you attempt another cheap shot.
Just remember you could not have been more wrong.
Quote from bond
I admit that I was confused by what I consider to be proper definition of null hypothesis and what is generally accepted way of setting up and testing null hypothesis. My definition is more stricter than the usual definition but I often forget that.
Now remember Bond is the same idiot who now makes accusations without backing them up. He is a liar.
Quote from james_bond_3rd:
Do you have any clue what a null hypothesis is? From all the bragging you're doing, it's clear that you still don't understand it. In my opinion, a null hypothesis should be one that assumes nothing. You gave me an example of a different definition. When I looked things up, I found out that many people use the definition that the null hypothesis is one that needs to be proven wrong. Although I disagree with this definition, because it is widely used I admitted that I could be wrong. Yes you did appeal to authority in this case but it doesn't mean that you understood what was being argued.
In my view, the correct definition of a null hypothesis, is the following:
It is the assumption that any observed difference between two samples of a statistical population is purely accidental and not due to systematic causes.
Now go ahead and argue that it is not this. This time I'm going to stick to my definition and claim that people who deviate from this definition are in error. Make your argument now. Show us that you actually know something.
Quote from james_bond_3rd:
I gave you the benefit of doubt, and didn't want to continue arguing on what I considered to be an issue unrelated to the main discussion. Note how conveniently you reversed the order of the two posts in your quote. You thought you were victorious when you appealed to a website and I stopped arguing with you (and in fact gracefully gave you credit). If you really want to debate it, answer my question in this post:
You don't know statistics, you don't know what a null hypothesis is. Since you don't want the credit, then answer this question,
What do you think is the correct definition of a null hypothesis?
It has been my claim all along that you know nothing about null hypothesis. Prove me wrong.
