Quote by: RickSp Horsepatootie indeed.
Do you not understand the definition of the word "theory" as used in science? Or don't you care? |
Yes, I understand the definition of the word theory. One definition is, "An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture."

Quote by: RickSp The "Big Bang" is a theory because the hypothesis can be tested against physical evidence. All other ideas about the origin of the universe are hypotheses. (Folks do get sloppy from time to time. "String theory", for example, is not actually a theory, just a very interesting hypothesis.) |
You want to test the hypothesis that the earth was created?? Ok, look out your window. Woops, there is the earth! How did it get there? The hypothesis has now been tested against physical evidence, hasn't it?

Quote by: RickSp Creationism is explictly religion. ID is religion wearing a false mustache. I could care less what your religious views are. I just do not understand why you insist on claiming that your religion is in any way science. |
I haven't made any religious claims at all. If you think I have, please quote me. Why do you continue to insist that ID necessarily includes religion?

Quote by: Plasma Snake[D] Evolution=cold hard fact while creationsim=blissful ignorance. |
Evolution: "Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, as a result of natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, and resulting in the development of new species."
As far as I can see, that says nothing about the origin of life or matter, only about the development of existing life.
