>>I find that science is just a word that describes a certain type of activity, and a lot of the “sciences” have little scientific activity to back them up. They are easy to spot. They are the politicized ones.<<
TToE is the most substantiated Scientific Theory in all of science. There are literally billions of internally consistent data points across multiple disciplines that can not be explained by any other Scientific Theory.
As I said, there would be no immunology without TToE (and many other scientific fields).
You want to see the importance of TToE? Start with antibiotic resistant bacteria and proceed to cancer. Without TToE there would be no tool to even evaluate these and so many more medical and physical phenomena.
It was once scientific fact that the earth was flat and the sun revolved around the earth. Deniers were persecuted.
Your forgetting creation - the other explanation. I think there are valid points regarding the hypothesis. And that is what it is.
Problem with creation is that it is outside the realm of science as much as fm is outside the realm of an am radio. Doesn’t mean it isn’t real, though.
i.e. “evolution” is the only thing mankind could come up with to counter the non-scientific explanation. And to be clear - science is just a word to explain an activity. It is not man’s highest pursuit, though it is loads of fun figuring out how God’s creation works.
