I don't know, I do not trust the Brits on many things (no offence meant I love most of you guys!), but in education I think they are doing ok. Then again I could be wrong after all out of 50 graduates from my class in Glasgow uni only around 10 had a British passport.
Here you go!AllTalkNoAction said:Troof - how does a theory qualify to be called "scientific" ?
Wikipedia.org said:In science, a body of descriptions of knowledge is usually only called a theory once it has a firm empirical basis, i.e., it
- is consistent with pre-existing theory to the extent that the pre-existing theory was experimentally verified, though it will often show pre-existing theory to be wrong in an exact sense,
- is supported by many strands of evidence rather than a single foundation, ensuring that it probably is a good approximation if not totally correct,
- makes predictions that might someday be used to disprove the theory,
- is tentative, correctable and dynamic, in allowing for changes to be made as new data is discovered, rather than asserting certainty, and
- is the most parsimonious explanation, sparing in proposed entities or explanations, commonly referred to as passing Ockham's razor.

Sounds like a circular argument to me !Goatboy said:What evidence supports evolution ?
The scientific kind

Care to give some example of scientific evidence that show evolution *rather than* creation ?

AllTalkNoAction said:Ooh, someone doesn't like it when the claims of evolutionists are examined for scientific evidence !
Let's just teach the kids what we've always taught, we are the high priests with special knowledge !

I want your evidence for evolution not someone else's buried in hundreds of threads with thousands of postings. Your assumtion about what I know is presumption which is not good scientific method.Edx said:. . . really n00b questions which show you dont know anything about science or evolution.
fluster & bluster - just give me some facts !!Edx said:It will take a lot to explain all that to you,
