I think there's a substantive difference between mathematical theories
which can be formally proved through logic and scientific theories
which are considered valid because they explain observed fact and no
facts have yet falsified them. its sometimes said that that all
scientific theories are only provisionally valid, although, obviously
some of them are very well established. still, its always possible
that QM could be falisified tomorrow.

confusing these kinds of proofs only plays into the hands of the
woowoos who wrongly expect mathematical proof for established theories
such as evolution.

FYI, the Catholic Church is not against even human evolution.

that said, I do not believe edconrad has evolved at all.

The theory of the evolution of man is the greatest conspiracy

of the world.


When we burn coal, we burn man. Stop burning coal! It is murder!

And I see we have another book-burner. And we know such people are religious
and political nutters and despots.

What does religion have to do with it? Religion and science are both a
farce to keep the sheeple in the dark.Check it out for yourself...if
mommy will let you.

Your attack on science is almost certainly the weakest in
the history of the world. You can't rally any support from
people who're falling down laughing at your idiotic bull****.,
and there's no one else. On the other hand, your display
of nescience is one of the strongest attacks anyone has
ever made on his own credibility.

Even if you found evidence of something new, you wouldn't
be capable of drawing logical inferences from it. Imagine
some crazy ******* thinking he sees the face of the queen
of England in a cloud and shrieking "Butt-ugly women are
as old as water vapor!" That's you, asshole.



I think a scientist ****ed this stupid asshole's wife.


More likely a scientist raped him in jail.



They laughed at Plato,Aristotle,The wrights, Lindberg...et al as well.
Give your head a shake, man has been here millions of years.

scrutiny for decades BUT there may still be something deeper we don't yet
understand.

Evolution?hahahahahahahahahahaha

Apples and orangutans.

That evolution happens is not a theory. The proposed mechanisms that drive it
are theories.

Jim

You mean the bull**** that drives it.

Perhaps reality is also a theory?

* They * laughs at a lot of people. Doesn't mean Coalboy is any
better at being a comic than he is at being a "scientist." Perhaps he
should focus his endeavors on something more janitorial.
