You guys crack me up. The so-called “Theory of Evolution” is not a theory, nor does it even attempt to give a comprehensive theory of origins. A true naturalistic theory of evolution would explain the origin of the universe and everything in it...not just minor changes in living things that are then fancifully extrapolated into a religion of common descent without evidence.

GGG, You don’t get to redefine the parameters of a theory for the pure intent of discrediting it. Try sticking to the scope of the theory as it exist and try not to add more than what’s really there.

YEs, there is this thing known as the Theory of Evolution. Maybe they didn't teach it in Administration classes.

nor does it even attempt to give a comprehensive theory of origins.

Nor SHOULD it even attempt to give one iota of a theory of origins. The ToE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ORIGINS.....kick the dead strawman around a little.

No, it wouldn't, Admin-man. Claiming as such to creat a strawman to kick around gets you nowhere.

Calling something a religion does not make it so.

"The so-called “Theory of Evolution” is not a theory, nor does it even attempt to give a comprehensive theory of origins."

To quote Ronald Reagan; "There you go again". Confabulation won't win any arguments or converts. You don't get to redefine words and scientific principles or to infer content not included in them to support your fallacious unfounded assumptions. Its far better to cut and paste the truth than to make stuff up as you go along. To rehabilitate your credibility you are going to have to operate in the realm of truth for a while.

snip: The so-called “Theory of Evolution” is not a theory...

Spirited: Whether called a theory, or more correctly an anti-creation mythos, it is not empirical but metaphysical.
Presuppositions, assumptions, theories, logic, reason, memory are absolutely necessary to the pursuit of science, yet all are metaphysical and not of the sensory or material realm. And as evolutionary naturalism rules out the immaterial (metaphysical) realm, it cancels itself out as well.
