“No other theories meeting those basic criteria explain the evidence so well.”
You can make that kind of statement only when you have total knowledge of all things relative to science. It will never occur. As one of my professors use to tell us, mankind is only in the infancy of its knowledge.
Osage: “You can make that kind of statement only when you have total knowledge of all things relative to science. It will never occur. “
Please remember that all of science today is merely a rough model of reality as we can detect it — not even as it is, but only as we see it.
And just a rough model, like a model ship, never exact.
So within natural-science **today** there is no alternative theory which remotely explains the physical evidence as well as evolution and all its related ideas.
Do you disagree?
