"To wit ... There is no fallacy in saying: “When P predicts Q and Q is observed, then P is supported.”"

What you don't seem to see is that, "Trying to narrow the focus of the conclusion such that you think you can apply the fallacious logic without committing the error of the fallacy is simply amazing. It is fascinating to watch the lengths that evos will go through to cling to their fallacious logic."

I just posted this to you in the post you responded to and you seem to have ignored it. How?

Please look up the word "induction" to discover a process known as "truth by induction."

Underlying that process is a theory that propositions enmpirically supported by high correlation coefficients indicates the presence of physical law.

In other words, Darwin's theory aobut evolution might someday be recognized and accepted as physical law.

For your consideration ...

“I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.” -- Sir Isaac Newton (1642 – 1727)
