Reply #68: I'm a science heretic [View All]

[Taeger]

I'm not trying to disprove evolution. I just don't think that it's as strong as more traditional "harder" sciences. I honestly could care less what the scientific "clergy" say. It's simply NOT the same. You can overlay whatever construct you like upon it.

I really could give a shit less about what you consider a theory vs a law. I don't think that evolution meets the same standards as experimental science, nor does Archaeology. I am not saying it's "bad" science. I already said that I think it's probably the right model for biological organisms. I just can't demonstrate it in a way that ANY reasonable person would accept.

Note, that when I can go to a National Laboratory and find PhDs who dispute evolution on scientific grounds, than they presumably know the difference between a theory, a law and a hypothesis.

I consider evolution a model. One that doesn't completely work yet. I'm confident that the non-functioning bits will eventually be worked out. Until then, i just don't accept it in a way that is "as close as facts would allow". Sorry, it's just not the same thing.

If that offends the clergy, than I suppose I'm a heretic.
