"LIke I said, if you want to "talk story" as the Hawaiians used to say, start a thread on the story topic of your choice. That would make the irrelevant relevant."
Now your just babbling. You said that stories cannot be wrong, only bad. I told you a story about a paranoid woman. Was it wrong? Yes or no.
" As for comparing the solar system's structure's testability to speciation-evolution, that's quite a stretch."
We still don't know the solar system's complete makeup. And you're comparing the accumulation of facts (how the solar system is organized) to a theory (evolution). They are not the same things, nor should they have the same methodologies or the same verifications.
"We can flick comets millions of miles away due to knowing exactly where we are. We can "do" it, and it was tested in a lab before the awful, expensive real test."
We flicked comet's in a lab somewhere? And why was it awful?
"That's not quite the same as looking back millions of years and insisting on a progression that cannot be replicated in a laboratory."
No, it isn't. Both still have scientific methodologies and both are testable though. Your personal dislike for historical sciences is not a logical argument against their validity.
re: And you're comparing the accumulation of facts (how the solar system is organized) to a theory (evolution). )))
Not so. Talk to your friends Bed and js. I don't think the two should be compared at all--they think doubting heliocentrism is the same as doubting evo-speciation.
re: I told you a story about a paranoid woman. )))
OK, you told it. Twice now. It's a lame attempt to do a sandbox bit of personal provocation--and I've told you to start a chat thread or space program thread if you just HAVE to keep discussing it. I'm not in the least chagrined or reluctant, if that's what you're hoping for, it's just not relevant here. Elsewhere? Any time.
re: We flicked comet's in a lab somewhere? And why was it awful?)))
Lab models. And it was awful (the money shot) because it was wonderful--killing suspense. But that's an insider's view from what science "feels" like, agonizing, and you can BION as you please. You only win because you can lose so big. That's what makes it different from tale-spinning--there are stakes.
