Beastt said:No theory is ever proven. Even those which have been around for centuries and are the basis for all kinds of scientific advancement aren't what one could consider absolutely proven. The reason for this is obvious. Isaac Newton came up with the basics for general gravitational theory. Even when man was beginning to send rockets into space, much of that same basic theory was being put into practice and found to be accurate. Does that prove the theory? Does it then change from theory to proven fact? No, because later Einstein showed that while Newton's basic ideas were generally accurate, there were still situations, unknown to Newton, wherein some of his observations failed to be true. So theory, no matter how accurate it may prove itself to be against the evidence at any given time, will never become "proven fact", simply because science recognizes that we never have all of the evidence. And with new evidence sometimes comes the necessity of revising theory.
Oh, stop making sense. Mr. Crawford doesn't have time for all this logical mumbo-jumbo. It is the way he says it is, because, well, he says it is. No proof or evidence needed--just look he never provides any and he continues on with his arguments like there's no tomorrow.
