Quote by: KillerArgument  And this is exactly my problem with the theory of God-less evolutionary origins: the hypothesis is not scientifically testable, applicable, or explicitly supported by existing data. Couldn't have said it better myself.
The theory of evolutionary origins is not science, but philosophy, surrounded by science. |
Evolution and the origin of life are seperate issues. The current reason for the overwhelming support for evolution is due to its application in the present(i.e., prediction based on the knowledge that evolution occurs at this very moment, as well as the predictions made by the currently realised genetic relationships between seperate species), not due to what it says of our beginnings.

This is why people debate: each BELIEVES something that cannot be PROVEN, yet some are foolish enough to believe that their position can be proven to the satisfaction of the other guy. Never gonna happen. The debate rages on.

Evolution in its current applications seems to work on many levels. Intelligent Design, on the other hand, is a fruitless research path to follow because it is currently not probable nor applicable in any circumstance by biologists.
If I was a scientist, I would continue to research the theory that has given results, rather then a nonpragmatic hypothesis born of religious motivation. What about you?
