I understand what a scientific theory is, thanks anyway...
I do believe ID is a theory, as it too rests on concepts that cannot be falsified...
I would much rather see biologists practice biology and not evolutionism, and that biology be taught in schools, not evolutionism.
However, if evolutionism must be taught, in the spirit of fairness, non evolutionism should also be taught, and let the kids make up their own mind.
Why so called "science" proponents are so terrified of questioning the basic premise of evolutionism is indeed odd.
The basic premise being taught is that the observed changes are unplanned and as a result of random genetic changes.
Of course there is zero proof that observed changes are actually unplanned, and random...but the so called scientists want to gloss over that one...
From a foundation of ignorance (not knowing if changes are actually planned and by design) an entire philosophy is born and propogated.
Such is the nature of ignorance, that can even impact so called scientific thinkers, so eager to reach conclusions about life, that they will erect entire "scientific" edifices on nothing but myth...
A quote from Darwin:
"If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down."
From Charles Darwin, "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life," 1859, p. 158.
Darwin, a true scientist, understood that for a theory to be actually be true, each and every single aspect of the theory must also be true to reach the treasured level of scientific theory.
Evolutionism as presented by the atheists must necessarily prove that life comes from non life, that events are not by design, and that there is no pattern in which biological organisms modify their genetic structure.
So is it true that in fact we have more and more complicated life arising from non life spontaneously and randomly with no direction or no design whatsoever?
I haven't see it happen, nor has anyone else actually observed this, nor has anyone even been able to construct a logical argument that strongly makes design an impossibility or rule it out.
To build an entire philosophy on the from nothing is what the atheists suggest the theists do, but I don't really see any difference in the application of imagination and faith from those who are saying ignorant chance and natural selection is true...
Your smiley faces and ad hominem methods are duly noted though, as a reflection of something, not sure what that is...
Quote from 2cents:
and u clearly don't even understand what a scientific theory is
no wonder u believe ID is a theory
what sort of 'school' did u go to boy? did u stay there long? tell us abt yr observances please, Darwin didn't have any fyi
