Little Rik Wrote:If as you say it would be a waste of time dealing with me why they deal with me in the first place by moving my thread?Because the thread was in the wrong forum, and it is standard procedure to move threads that are in the wrong forum. Your incoherent demands regarding what philosophy is obviously did not sway the moderating team, and your insistence that they provide a definition that you would accept did not obligate them in any manner. In short, they are forced to deal with you up to a certain extent, after which they may dismiss your arm-waving and go about their business.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
