I do not make the mistake of assuming that I can through a mechanism of observation. Determine the rate of expansion of the universe.
There are no such 'assumptions' made.
The constancy of the speed of light is a universal reference (and is thus 'a reference from outside our solar system') because the light clearly originates from multiple, abundant sources beyond our solar system.klutedavid said:
From an external perspective, mankind is but one of the millions of species on this planet.
Sure we are .. For example, I don't see any dogs or cats worshipping statues of their chosen deities(?)
2 Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Ok that's what it means to you .. but its not objectively testable and therefore means nothing when thinking scientifically.
Before we even get to that, its a circular definition because it references itself (aka: 'knowledge').
As I said several times you are very good at complaining but continually to miss the mark by focusing on exceptions. Science and evolution are not your enemy, your true enemy is much closer to you.
Who is claiming you don't?
I was just putting your explanation 'to the test', with the result being that I ultimately find that I still know a thing or two in science (which admittedly, I also had to learn).
Ok .. so learning, in that case, still leads to knowledge .. (and therefore, excludes a learner from 'never ultimately knowing' something).Frank Robert said:
