>>TTOE does not even qualify as a valid theory. The first step in the Scientific Method is Valid Observation.<<

There has never been an observation of one species evolving into another species. Not even at the microbial level. Adaptation, yes. Evolution, no. Adaptations are not evolution.<<

1) You don’t understand stochasticism. Non unusual among the scientific illetiterate.
2) There have been specific observations of species change. Subway flies in New York cannot mate/procreate with abovegound flies. That is one of hundreds of examples.

>>DNA research has proven that we did not evolve from Neaderthals, monkeys, nor anything else.<<

Specious nonsense — that 98% assertion (courtesy of the self-referential ICR) has been disproved scientifically and logically for decades.

>>So, how did we get here? Beats me.

In many cases, the correct scientific answer is simply, “We don’t know, yet. But we’re working on it.”<<

But that is not the scientific answer. TToE is crystal clear on the broad picture of how Homo Sapiens came to be.

How did the Earth get here? We haven’t seen a life-sustaining planet form. Do you also completely discount geology? I assume you need abiogenesis to explain the Earth? And physics. You need to explain where physics came from.

TTOE meets and exceeds all criteria for a Scientific Theory (and I gather you don’t know what one is since you start with a complete incorrect statement).

Learn some science, then you can come back. And PLEASE don’t waste time with Answers In Genesis — every single talking point there has been crushed by real science in both proof and argumentation.

First, I studied physics for several years at Hampshire College, taking classes at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst through the exchange of the Five College system.

The hypothesis of evolution is incapable of being tested scientifically.

Part of the Scientific Method is to formulate a hypothesis that is CAPABLE of being tested as true or false — technically the null hypothesis is capable of being proven false.

The next step is to design an experiment capable of proving the hypothesis true or false (proving the null hypothesis false).

The Scientific Method demands that the hypothesis be up to the standard of being testable, and also demands that the experiment be WELL-designed... not just any experiment.

The hypothesis of evolution is incapable of being tested by experimental results.

One of the most important steps when using a tool is to KNOW the LIMITS of your tool: When does it work and when does it not work.

What happened before the consciousness of humans began or history started being recorded is impossible for science to investigate.

Science can only investigate phenomenon that can be observed NOW, in the present, with repeated experiments now in the present.

Where science has been corrupted and has gone off the rails is that SPECULATION has replaced the Scientific Method.

So people get all excited and emotionally invested in what COULD be true, and then assume it is true.

Possibility is not proof.

But mere possibility is all that modern science has degenerated into.

Again:

Possibility is not proof.
