“Darwinism hasn’t been able to solve the problems presented which left unsolved leave Darwinism fatally flawed”

You have a fatal flaw in your understanding of how science is presented. There are flaws in many common theories, even scientific “laws” are not without flaws. Your job is to show they are wrong through research, experimentation, and publication.

You continue to be emotionally invested in a particular outcome of this discussion.

You expect theories to be perfect. That’s unreasonable. Even the law of gravity has flaws. It doesn’t make it any less compelling.

So back up. You wish to assign to science that which should be left to faith. You lose faith and science in the process.

You lecture me like I don’t understand what a theory is. Your condescending attitude is obnoxious.

Darwinism fails the scientific process which doesn’t require the absence of flaws, but if Darwinism’s requirements fail scientific inquiry, then, yes it is fatally flawed.

“Your job is to show they are wrong through research, experimentation, and publication.”

Incorrect. It is the job of those who support a theory as the best explanation for a phenomenon to answer challenges to the weaknesses of their theory, not the other way around.

For example the supporters of relativity were proposing a theory no less radical than evolution, but they were able to answer challenges by using their theory to make predictions that held up to experimental confirmation. They defended their theory successfully using the scientific method.

Evolution, on the other hand, can’t do that, so they will never be able to silence their critics through that method. So instead their supporters tend to resort to ad hominems and bad logic, which aren’t a substitute for mounting an actual scientific defense of the hypothesis.

The same creationist arguements are recycled time after time without those advancing them considering facts which refute them.

In the creationist failure to understand radiometric dating, they ignore the nature of isotopes and deny uniformtitarianism (Uniformitarianism is the assumption that the same natural laws and processes that operate in the universe now have always operated in the universe in the past and apply everywhere in the universe.).

Without these basic assumptions and facts, no discussion is possible.
