I agree, and have said this many times... at the micro level.
It's the same process. Evolution wasn't some magically different process in the past.
Any evidence at the macro level is weak, because the circumstances have to be reconstructed (historically), using whatever 'available evidence' you have (and how you have interpreted it). Can you actually not detect the difference in this and the 'observable,' and the possible fallibilities associated with it?
Once again, this "observable vs historic" science divide is creationist fiction.
Insofar as the relative strength or weakness of evidence is concerned, there is a lot more to it than whether or not something is observed in a lab or based on a past event.
For example, a poorly conducted lab experiment with improper controls could result in extremely weak conclusion. Conversely, reconstruction of past events based on thousands of independent and correlating bodies of evidence could result in a strong conclusion.
It all comes down to the relative weight of the evidence itself, not whether something took place in the past.
I'm suggesting that your process of testing, and your assumptions are not as ironclad as many of you profess over and over again. First, you and science can't determine or recreate the process of the past beyond speculating with present day means (micro observation)... and neither can I.
"Micro observation" is not a real term. I've noticed you been making up terms as you go. It's more helpful to stick to proper terminology for the sake of ease of communication.
Second, you appear to be doing little more than making a dad-style argument (e.g. "
you can't test things from the past! the past might have been different!")
From a purely philosophical perspective science does assume an objective universe. If your argument is that the universe is inherently non-objective then science (whether about the past or present) is irrelevant. You've just rejected science as an epistemological basis for knowledge.
Again, can you not see the fallibilities? Next, I've said this numerous times, I believe there was divine intervention, in which 'time' (not linear time, which is very much a part of evolutionary mechanisms) was possibly used in a way that we do not understand (the unknown you asked about earlier), thereby eliminating all the gradual appearance and transformation of ancestors. In other words Adam hit the ground running, as a man. Not even factoring in the Bible, this just makes makes more sense to me than our great 'to the whatever power' grandparents being a worm or something.
Here's a question for you then:
Could you tell the difference between an organism that was created out of thin air (via divine intervention) versus an organism that came about via reproduction from a previous generation of organisms?
And if so, how?
