Au contraire, science is ALL ABOUT PROOF.
No, it's not. Proof, strictly speaking, is not possible, as science works via inductive logic. Science is
all about evidence and logically derived explanations for all available evidence.
It's called the Scientific Method. Its focus is on determining provability via a set methodology whereby, in the end, the theory is proven and made law.
Sorry, but your understanding of the scientific method is completely wrong. It is a popular misconception that scientific theories become laws, but it's still a misconception.
Theories, in science, are the pinnacle of scientific investigation. Laws are not, and typically they are components of scientific theories. They are mathematical descriptions of observations: laws of thermodynamics, Newton's law of gravity, Stokes' Law, etc. Theories do not ever become laws, rather, laws are some of the bases for theories.
Evolution, by the way, is only at the theory stage and will remain so because it remains unproven.
No, it will remain a theory because all scientific theories remain theories. Gravity is still at the "theory stage" as well (Relativity). Both are also FACTS. That evolution occurs is a fact, just like the existence of gravity is a fact. The
explanations behind these facts are the purpose behind theories.
It is not law because it can never be proven through the scientific method. The second law of thermodynamics, however, IS law, and it disproves the evolutionary theory altogether (entropy: order to disorder in a closed system rather than the other way around which evolution claims).
Evidently you don't know what you are talking about, yet you speak authoritatively on these subjects anway.
By your own logic, a zygote would never develop because such a process would violate the second law of thermodynamics, because you are apparently not able to differentiate the circumstances in which the law applies as a necessity.
The earth is an open system, so entropy
can decrease and the second law of thermodynamics does not apply as a necessity. The sun provides life on earth with useful energy available to do work. We all derive our energy from the sun, directly or indirectly. Plants, for example, use the sun's energy directly through photosynthesis. Animals, as another example, eat plants or other animals that eat plants and use the sun's energy indirectly. That energy allows for entropy to decrease in the earth's system.
Please correct your misconceptions about evolution, scientific concepts like thermodynamics, and how science works even at the most basic level. It's quite clear that you are wrong and a basic education in the sciences could correct it.
If evolution violated the second law of thermodynamics, don't you think scientists would have realized this already? I mean you're talking about a very basic concept here. That should be very telling about the veracity of your statements.
