This is what science relies on in order to get the same results for the same experiment.
How is that of any relevance to what I just said? Are you just quoting from some website or something? I mean seriously, what's your point behind asking that?
The answer is simply because it works. Every experiment ever performed has shown our universe behaves in predictable ways. There's never been a case observed where the universe didn't behave in a predictable way.
I would like to note that science doesn't rely on uniformity to get the same results for the same experiment, you've got it backwards. We do the same experiment and get the same results from it each time, therefore establishing a principle of uniformity.
The point was to expose your beliefs in a post. Thank you for finally answering. Science only works for you because you are inconsistent with what you believe and biblical creation is true.
Let me point out that uniformitarianism is incorrect when it says "the past is the key to the future." If that were the case then I guess I'll never die since I never have in the past. It's ridiculous to think that way.
You say science establishes a "principle" of uniformity because of multiple experiments with consistent results. It DOESN'T rely on uniformity. WOW!
Well there isn't much confidence in that sort of reasoning since MANY things in nature change. You do agree I hope!
You are assuming 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.
James Holmes acted consistent with what evolution teaches. He evolved from an animal, and when he murdered those people, He acted like one. You can't say he's wrong since evolution made him that way.
