We send people to the gas chamber on far less evidence. Using your standard, no criminal would ever be convicted.

That says something about the system and about our society - not about best case. Our system did not start out that way and wasn't intended to devolve to what it is now. And it serves as no excuse for what you pass off as fact. There's no excuse for it. When I took science in school, there was a far higher standard instilled by my prof. When I took logic, there was a far higher standard. If you're trying to tell me the standard has fallen that far in 10-15 years, you're really a pathetic bunch for allowing it. Cause ultimately, that is your credibility - absent that, you're nothing in your profession. Similar minds may back-pat you; but, that isn't credibility - that's ego stroking. If you don't know the difference, you should do something else. Contrary to the absurd accusations here, I've a genius plus level IQ and the ability to use it. That and a dollar will get a cup of coffee (or 4bucks at starbucks). Intellect is worthless if it isn't used properly. And people are useless if they think themselves smarter than the unwashed. For all you think you know, you don't seem to know the most important lessens. It is truly sad and sick.

OK, I give: what does it say?

When I was learning to write there was a higher standard than exhibited by your posts. Paragraphs were expected to elaborate on their lead sentence, not charge off in all directions. I have posted repeatedly on the parallels between evolutionary science and forensics. You have posted a great deal of verbiage without telling me exactly what the problem is with this analogy.

For your position to be correct, physics would have to be wrong about radiometric dating; astronomy would have to be wrong about the age and structure of the universe; geology would have to be wrong in almost every detail, biology would have to have made its last hundred years of advances based on a completely incorrect paradigm; and you would have to be smarter and more knowledgeable than the tens of thousands of scientists who have worked on the basic problems in their fields -- all without being able to write a coherent paragraph in the English language.
