LOL, um, way to debunk yourself.
Lolwut? Oh, I see, it appears I misunderstood you. You didn't mean being derogatory to
Christians as a group, because they are Christians. My bad.
Rene Descartes would disagree.
And I guess I would disagree with him. Was that an argument from authority, by the way?
Again, way to debunk yourself.

From the water being left on... waterline broke... neighbors pool has a leak...
Well, then all of these are reasonable explanations - though not equally likely -, right? That means you need further tests to distinguish between them. So you get outside, go to work, look around you. All the trees and roofs are dripping wet. Rain is sounding more and more likely, ain't it?
A deductive argument is
valid if the conclusion does follow necessarily from the premises.
I know basic logic, thank you.
That is the problem with the many conclusions of long term evolution, it does not follow the premises.
How so?
Science is not a wholly deductive process. Deriving predictions from a hypothesis (H -> P) is deductive, and falsifying a hypothesis (~P -> ~H) follows the rules of deductive logic, but
support for a hypothesis will
always be inductive (since P -/-> H) and therefore uncertain. Is it logically valid to conclude that because all earthly apples we've ever seen fall towards the earth when released, some force must make them go that way? No. So when are you going to start doubting gravity? Why single out evolution?
It is more concerned with defending a philosophy then giving a rational explanation in accordance to what we know.
Citation needed.
I never said you didn't I have said many have here, AND I was being precise with you.
You said, and I quote, "
Funny, I even posted the definition for you, and you still do not get it."
Since the remark was a response to something I wrote, I assumed that you meant singular "you". If you meant plural, maybe you could have clarified, but apologies for the misunderstanding.
Did I claim to be using the biological definition of the word species? No I did not.
Did I claim you were? No. That doesn't change the fact that
everyone else in this thread does, and therefore if you just mention "species", that's what they'll think you mean. IOW, don't blame the others for "not getting it".
Where? "Reverse the order of reproduction" is your idea of how it could happen, not a demonstration. There's a difference...
ETA: I'm also not sure what you mean by it.
