Man-ofGod vs Evolution, etc.

Why are you guys still at this?

Hope is the last thing to die.

A scientific theory is nothing more than a predictive tool.

Gravity: According to the the theory, there should be a force between the earth and the moon, oh look there is.

Evolution: According to the theory, there should be transitional fossils, mutation of living organisms and natural selection, oh look there is.

Big Bang: According to the theory, the galaxies should all be moving away from each other, oh look they are.

Thats good science right there.

Bible: According to the theory, there should be miracles, a heaven and hell, a god, a devil and people raising from the dead, oh look, I can't see any of those things.

Bad science right there.


As to your point about the BB becoming scientific theory, as opposed to hypothesis, its a complete non issue. Each individual scientist has their own oppinion, their own threshold for evidence, their own ideas. Just like each sect of fundies has their own intereptations of the bible. Science is a process, a method, not a consensus. Indeed, it is the differing viewpoints of scientists that leads to these discoveries, and advances science, look at Einstein, he was not satisfied with the evidence for an ether, so came up with SR, a much better theory.
