So you’re in favor of science by consensus?

The problem, though, is that evolution is not science--which is why they can claim "consensus."

It is not reproducible
It is not falsifiable.

How do you know it's not?

ShadowAce: "The problem, though, is that evolution is not science--which is why they can claim 'consensus.' "

By every conceivable definition, evolution theory -- along with other elements of what are sometimes called "historical sciences" -- are parts of science-in-general.

Efforts by anti-scientists such as BrandtMichaels and now ShadowAce to have evolution declared "non-science" and their own religious beliefs to be a "part of science" went all the way to the US Supreme Court, which ruled that: no, evolution is science, and religion is not.

And speaking of "settled science", that is settled law!
