    What? You're saying I think there is no evidence to support creationism or to support evolution? OK. I'm done with you. You keep making things up. It's impossible to get anywhere with you because I constantly have to keep correcting your viewpoints about me.

    That is a direct quote from your previous post. Are you going to deny that you wrote that? And since creationism has precisely zero scientific evidence to support it, then you're clearly claiming that Darwin's theory of natural selection also has no supporting scientific evidence.

      OK, fine. I'll revise my former opinion, and assume that you are a troll.

            Go on then; I'll bite. What rigorous scientific evidence do you have to support your medieval creation story?

                OK, if you don't like the word referring to the Middle Ages: What rigorous scientific evidence do you have to support your ancient / archaic / Stone-Age / really bloody old (delete as appropriate) creation story? And, indeed, which creation story[^] do you support?

                  Sure it does. Where the Darwin theory has no answer is how did life get started. It picks up at the point of there being life but how did life get started. Can you answer that?

                  The General Relativity Theory doesn't answer that question either.

                    not worth it - Ryan believes fossils were planted by some alien and all humans lived on another planet before deciding to pop down to Earth (I apologise unreservedly if I have misunderstood his previous posts). he argues that because you can't prove something to be untrue, it's reasonable to believe it Next he'll be saying that VB 6 is a great programming language and Silverlight is the way of the future!

                      We've always taught scientific theories in school. There's a reason theories are still theories, they aren't facts, at least not as far as we know.

                      You actually have that the wrong way around. A scientific theory is a fact as far as we know. In fact, that's a very good, succinct, definition of a scientific theory!

                          Pretty much, yes, in a scientific sense. This is what you don't seem to grasp. wikipedia defines it thus:

                          Quote:

                          A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation.

                          So, it is a fact 'as far as we know'. The only reason we use the term 'theory' is that we are being realistic enough to see that there may be information available in the future that means a test/observation or experiment shows some flaw in the theory; at that point the theory is either thrown in teh bin or, more likely modified to take into account that new information - and so, to all intents and purposes, becomes fact. what part of this do you fail to understand - because I am sure it has been explained to you many times before

                              so, if a fact is truth, and a scientific theory is a fact (as far as we know) then you are saying that a scientific theory is truth! Well Done! I knew we'd get there eventually.

                                This one's not too bright Jimmy. :doh: So, using your example of smells transmitting disease, you are saying that 100 years ago it would have been a fact and today it is not a fact. Good thing you aren't trying to be serious because if you were.... well, ya.

                                    not worth it - Ryan believes fossils were planted by some alien and all humans lived on another planet before deciding to pop down to Earth (I apologise unreservedly if I have misunderstood his previous posts). he argues that because you can't prove something to be untrue, it's reasonable to believe it Next he'll be saying that VB 6 is a great programming language and Silverlight is the way of the future!

                                    You are truly dumb to say such stupid things. :doh: Or, just an average troll. You decide. And you're a gay communist who believes tinfoil hats protect you from Martians so what value is your opinion anyway? You believe that all life began in Australia and that one day Australians will rule the whole world. Quite delusional are you.

                                      Check this[^]. The history is being re-written, thanks to Mr.Dinanath Batra, his qualification being an ace zealot.

                                      The master of the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which; he simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both.

                                        I'm merely paraphrasing what I understood to be your beliefs - please correct me if I am wrong.

                                        i don't believe there are martians - and those aliens that are out there do not appear to be any sort of threat, so not protection required.

                                        Don't be ridiculous! Australia wasn't even Australia when life began - and it began in the sea anyway, while most of what is now Australia was still above teh water.

                                          This one's not too bright Jimmy. :doh: So, using your example of smells transmitting disease, you are saying that 100 years ago it would have been a fact and today it is not a fact. Good thing you aren't trying to be serious because if you were.... well, ya.
