    Regarding: Theory and fact

    The article in the previous post is an argument that shouldn't be necessary to make. Having to rationalise scientific methods as though there is some validity to the creationist argument is crazy. Creationists will not, even when face with scientific evidence, change their minds. For example >

    However, the authority that scientific theory can have over Creationists, for instance, is not universal. There are arguably no 'facts' that can be woven into a theory when talking about Dark Matter/Energy or Gravity or Consciousness, to name just a few. In these situations, sciences best guesses are just that, guesses or predictions. That doesn't mean they have no scientific value but until the LHC or other experiments create the necessary particles there are no facts, even after the experiments the results are probabilities not facts.

    • @yurimon - you're right that she does use some of the more wooly areas of evolutionary theory to undermine it. However, her arguments do not by any stretch ofMorning_star
