// And that is why creationism isn't science. Do you get it?//

And toe is neither truth nor reality, but only some men’s interpretations of what 'they see'.

By calling toe science it only highlights and underlines the theoretical and interpretive limitations of science, and also the transitory ephemeral nature of scientific theories.

Gravity and all other forces have always been, and sometimes we can take measurements of various phenomena and make calculations based on that without knowing what the force truly is or if we have captured the phenomena in its essence/totality.

IOW man does not 'own gravity' nuclear fission/fusion, and thru DNA and other processes 'the keys to life' as some (not all) from the evo camp might infer in their arrogance. Then to completing a science program does not necessarily make one a true scientist.

Evos make many predictions about toe and I will too. In a hundred years toe will be only a forgotten insignificant trinket tossed off on the path of scientific progress.

Look, repeating your delusions over and over again doesn't make them true, RW, although Lord knows you try.

Nonsense.

Nice irrelevancy.

...and now you start to babble. Where in the hell did this "ownership" goofiness come from? Oh, right, your addled brain.

Then to completing a science program does not necessarily make one a true scientist.

No one said it did. Thanks for the random but irrelevant comment.

Evos make many predictions about toe and I will too.

Tens of thousands of "evo" predictions about evolutionary biology have been found to be correct, which validates evolution over and over and over again. (You sort of "forgot" to mention that.) Sorry the same can't be said of the predictions of the anti-evolutionists, which again and again end up with them falling flat on their faces. Hey, remember when Duane Gish predicted that an intermediate form between the reptilian jaw and the mammalian jaw would be unworkable, and thus he laughably predicted that evolutionists were nuts for expecting to find such intermediates? Who was right on *that* one, eh? Oh, yeah, the evolutionists. And again, the predictions of the anti-evolutionists were shown to be dead, flat wrong. Oops!

In a hundred years toe will be only a forgotten insignificant trinket tossed off on the path of scientific progress.

ROFL!!! Nice of you to set the prediction far enough in the future that you won't be around to be laughed at to your face when it fails, just like all *these* folks who now are known to be laughably wrong when they made similar predictions about the "imminent" demise of evolutionary biology:

People have been predicting that evolution would come crashing down "any day now" for oh, 150 years or more.

For some perspective, check out this web page on The Imminent Demise of Evolution. Anti-evolutionists have been continuously predicting that evolution was about to come crashing down any day now since 1840... That page contains quotes predicting the "any day now" crash of evolution from 1825, 1840, 1850, 1878, 1895, 1903, 1904, 1905, 1912, 1922, 1929, 1935, 1940, 1961, 1963, 1970, 1975, 1976, 1980, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005.

Sample:

"It must be stated that the supremacy of this philosophy has not been such as was predicted by its defenders at the outset. A mere glance at the history of the theory during the four decades that it has been before the public shows that the beginning of the end is at hand."
-- Prof. Zockler, The Other Side of Evolution, 1903, p. 31-32 cited in Ronald L. Numbers, Creationism In Twentieth-Century America: A Ten-Volume Anthology of Documents, 1903-1961 (New York & London, Garland Publishing, 1995)
But surely, *YOU'RE* finally right *this* time, eh? Dream on. The anti-evolutionists have been fantasizing about evolution crashing down since before the Civil War... Uh huh. Sure. Any day now.

You guys are hilarious! You're unable to learn anything from past failures, so you keep on making the same mistakes over and over again. But hey, that's what happens when you fail to actually look at the evidence.
