Science, Creation & EvolutionSomething for Tuppence: Science definedIt may seem inconvenient, but it's proper form to reproduce them in whatever thread your debated is involved in. I don't know where they are and it's not good etiquette to suggest somebody search around for your evidence. Your quote is from a creationist website. This is no different then me challenging the entire medical community with continued quotes from www.virusmyth.com. But in any event, even I can see the holes in that quote and I'm not even that boned up on evolution theory. If I recall correctly, the assumption is that we evolved from a common ancestor, not "from" apes. Do you call genetics "trivial similarities"? They can show by DNA the similarities to humans in the primate family. Is this just a massive coincidence? Why is it people who don't like accepted theories always go to outlandish extremes to ignore corroborating iinformation that is so self-evident a child could make the connection? This person you are quoting is making a strawman out of the concept of evolution. A very typical tactic. PROVING a theory is TESTING a theory. There is nothing wrong with having a hypothesis as a framework. How else are you going to design a study? You are equating the starting position of a hypotheses with the accusation they have already made up their mind they are correct. This IS what creationists do, but scientists DON'T do this, and not one of them accepts conclusions until the hypothesis is tested and reproducible in the real world for all to see. Again! Peer reviewed. Remember. Science describes the natural world by describing REALITY. They don't HAVE an agenda. There IS no foregone conclusion. If reality proves their theories wrong, they discard them and keep looking for the truth. You are trying to tar the scientific community with the same brush that the Creationists TOTALLY deserve. I'm afraid I have to agree with Aly, you need a refresher in basic science and it's methods. You are distorting the whole concept. |
