First of all, we don't actually know how the universe came into being or how our solar system came together. We also find life occurring in a swarm of life in the oceans as we find in the fossil evidence without precursors for the life we find there.

We do have a pretty good idea of how our solar system came together.

How did you determine that those species did not have precursors?

I think AV that you get caught up in the philosophy of science rather than the actual science. Science only is that data that we can discover, the philosophy of science is the interpretation of the data.

No< that's not "the philosophy of science" AT ALL, Nowconfused.

So, what you're saying is, Oncedeceived, Nowconfused?
It would seem so. He's (She is ) certainly not on track with philosophy.
But who can blame him (her) for that?

I think "He's" a she, and no, you'll never get a straight definition from her. Eliminates her wiggle room, that way she's never wrong.

My mistake. She's no longer on my radar.

So you admit the earth has orbited the sun 4+ billion times, its just that it didn't take 4+ billion years to make those orbits?

And you want us to take a stand like that . . . . seriously?

I asked how I was not "on track" with philosophy? You might explain yourself.

"the philosophy of science" Look it up. Then explain yourself, to yourself.
Then correct yourself by scolding yourself.

More rubbish. You are questioning geological time before our very eyes . . . how can you say, therefore, it is not allowed? However, it is perfectly true that without evidence or cogent logic, your objections to geological time are ignored.
