What does this possibly have to do with creationism? I guess you think that because I'm calling modern scientific thought into question that I must be a creationist. Sorry but that's not the case.
- pvg 10y agoI mean that your understanding of what a scientific theory is inaccurate. It's a misunderstanding that is most common among creationists so that's where you see it discussed most. Here's one overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_as_fact_and_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_as_fact_and_theory Scientific theory doesn't mean 'sort of a suggestion' as you seem to think.
- jcoffland 10y agoYou are confused about my understanding. However, scientific theory does not mean "really it's true". It means we think it's true. Or, this is our best guess so far. To believe anything else is science as religion.
- pvg 10y agoI'm pretty sure I'm not but ok. I won't even say who is fond of the 'science as religion' thing!
