Disproving the Bible

[Esquilax]

Someone told me recently that asserting something is true does not make it true. "As sure as any scientific fact"? That's a pretty high standard--with it not being able to be successfully replicated or tested like all the other scientific facts.

Really? We can't replicate and test evolution? Better tell that to the nylonase guys, who found a recently formed evolutionary trait occurring in the wild, and were able to replicate it in a lab afterward. Better let all of modern medicine know, since all that research into new vaccines and antibiotics they have to do clearly isn't needed, since viruses don't evolve resistances to drugs and anyone who claims to still be sick after getting the older model of treatment is just a whiny baby. Better tell these guys that the evolution they've observed and documented isn't really. And I guess this huge report filled with observed instances of evolution must also be wrong. After all, a guy who doesn't even know what evolution is said that we can't observe it!

Steve, a bit of advice: do not come back here and tell me that "that bacteria is still bacteria, that X is still X, and we don't see dogs becoming cats!" Don't tell me any of that, because that's not what evolution states will happen, in fact if it did it would be a disproof of evolution. If you come back with that argument, all you will have shown is that those "hours" you spent looking through articles about evolution either didn't happen, or didn't extend beyond creationist nonsense.

If you want to know what evolution actually states will happen then ask, but don't come here talking about how dogs are still dogs and never give birth to cats, and then expect us to treat your fantasy version of evolution as though it were the real thing.
