But, if you're doing it right, there is no place for faith in scientific theory. You may be mistaking the application of poor-faith science such as creationism for actual science. They operate on completely different principles.Actually they do not. for the fact that this 'theory' is ever changing means it is not based in sceientific Truth. Because it is not based in truth but fact one has to have faith that the current incarnation of what he or she believes is actual truth. Faith in ever changing facts is still FAITH no matter how you want to justify it.
Oh my, you're going to catch hell for this. There is no scientific truth, just theories all the way down. No matter how much reliability a scientific theory demonstrates it always retains its provisional status given additional evidence or a better interpretation of the known data.
Basically you are demonstrating exactly what is wrong with creation science in that it exists to support a predetermined conclusion.
Now your monkeyman theory, that's a real humdinger. Obviously since no scientific theory represents established fact, your monkeyman proposal is right up there with the best of them .. at least in your completely biased opinion. You lack the intellectual maturity to engage in determining which theory best fits the available evidence. Unless you take god's titty out of your mouth you'll never be able to take the first step.
