I am a Christian; but I don't hold positions. Perhaps a better way to phrase it is that I'm not a skeptic. If someone wants to speculate creator monkeys, aliens, God, or evolution, I'll gladly speculate with them. I'm also scientifically trained; broadly speaking science moves by two concepts: conjecture and refutation. First you make something up, and then you or others try to falsify it. The process of falsification is almost the complete opposite of the burden of proof, which others keep bringing up. If I say creator monkeys, the forum will say prove it or I won't believe you. But science doesn't prove, it disproves. Falsifying creator monkeys is the only approach that works, and the only approach a scientist would take. The burden of proof finds better use in the courtroom than the lab.
Theories are just tools in science; they don't require our acceptance or belief, only our understanding. I don't care if evolution is true or not. I only care if it works or if it doesn't. So if phylogenies cannot be properly tested, that's a problem. If species are poorly defined and speciation is not always identifiable, that's a problem.
I may have gone on a tangent. But I think that until the forum understands this about me they'll just waste my time.
