Quote:So now all a theory needs in order to be considered scientific is some part of it that is scientific?
What's the unscientific part? And don't you dare say evolution!
Quote: No. Just proving a point.
You didn't.
Quote:No it wouldn't. The evolutionists would just say you need to wait a bit longer. Most confirmation don't happen till puberty. It would never actually be disproved.
???????????? I think we're at tangents here. This one I'll leave in limbo.
Quote: I just don't see how the theory of creationism somehow makes evolution scientific. Can you explain it so it makes sense?
No cigar. I made sense. Your characterisation is what is senseless here, FD. I get the feeling that you just argue for argument's sake and couldn't care less about what you throw out.
Notwithstanding, Creationism makes a claim which would falsify evolution. Creationism would maintain that various creatures we see today were there when life came to be on this planet. You asked for falsifiability. This shows that evolution is falsifiable. AND youhave been given a number of other potential falsifiers. If you feel compelled to ask how evolution can be falsified again, just read back.
Quote:I don't think the theory of evolution actually states that. The historical record can and will be simply chopped and changed as the evidence comes in. This has never disproved the theory of evolution, so I don;t see why it would in the future.
It's something that would falsify evolution. (I think you should look at that chicken cartoon very closely, FD. )
The theory implies that complex life today evolved from simpler life. Haldane's rabbit would falsify that. There is no way that the theory would be valid if Haldane's rabbit showed up- not unless, of course, you could show that it travelled through time somehow.
I would now iterate the potential falsifiers that I mentioned earlier, however, I'll save myself the time and only reiterate that you read back.
What you think is an alternative to the theory of evolution's explanation of how complex life on this planet came to be?
You don't believe that genetic variation and natural selection brought it about? Those are the two limbs evolution stands on. You accepted natural selection as scientific because you thought it was falsfiable. So what's unscientific and unfalsifiable about the remaining limb- genetic variation? Tell me, what do you think natural selection works on?
You are playing with words but are completely overlooking substance. You made a false and absurd dichotomy.
