"Evo is not remotely important to real science."

Not only is it important, it IS real science.

"The science that gives us new medicines, treatments--the science that holds the bridges up as we drive over them--the science that flicks a comet going 100K miles/hr with a craft going 18K miles/hr--the science that is accountable--the science that provides."

You're talking about technology, like the building of a space ship. It takes the application of scientific theories to get that astronaut up into space. A great deal of science is not related to immediate technology. Einstein wasn't thinkinbg about what could be made with his theories when he made them. He did it for it's intrinsic value: Knowledge about the universe.

If science is not accountable, reproducible, verifiable by double-blinds, demonstrable, hangs by that thread of cruel anxiety...it's not important.

Everyone loves a story. Cosmologists, archaeologists, anthropologists, evolutionists--tell great stories. Some are plausible, many are entertaining, a few provoke insight.

None are scientists.

If they are not ultimately responsible for what they posit, they are only spinning tales.

Look what happens when an evolutionary notion is debunked after a better notions comes along--nobody dies from a bad reaction, no bridge falls down, no piece of shuttle garbage explodes. The notion just goes to some sort of purgatory.
