No proof is required then? So if the best guess for how the universe was created is God (which has never been disproven), why don't you accept this scientific method?
"Best Guess" is not the best way to phrase what the scientific method leads to.
Science observes and records facts. Facts are actually easy to come by.
Once a set of facts are observed, science then comes up with the best explanation for the facts. The explanation of the facts is the most important thing science does. Best explanation given current facts, is a better way to put it.
Maybe the best guess for the formation of stars are giant, galactic, invisible penguins that craps out stars? After all, giant, galactic, invisible star shitting penguins have never been disproven, right?
You REALLY need to read a bit about basic logic. Specifically the burden of proof. Because you suck at it.
I'ts obvious you guys don't detect the sarcasm in my reply to FatAndFaithless,. I guess the emoticon wasn't enough. You should be explaining the scientific method to him, since he's the one that made the statement.
