Just another example of denial and blindness on your part.
If what you say is true, why the personal attacks, rather than, you know, a simple quote? The thread is 30 page at this point. If you can think of an example of anyone saying what you say they said, please quote it. I'm not going back to re=read the whole thing trying to guess which comment you mean.

Im not attacking, im only shedding light on a fact. Its an observation. We are all pone to denial, and its human fallibility. I never once asserted that i was perfect. Its not an attack, its an observation.

Why dont i post it? Why should i? You will not see it anyway, it will only turn into a circus instead,

I can't be in denial of something if you refuse to present it.

The fact that science admits that its self correcting is good. My whole point is that ToE is a science which attempts to do the impossible. It attempts to look millions of years into the past, using only limited understanding and means, and see the great mystery of mans origin. This is a massive undertaking and would surely require complete scientific understanding. However, science is far removed from that understanding. It will indeed keep correcting itself in the future. I see no reason to worship ToE as truth, when its really just a fallible theory, a theory that will itself keep evolving.

So, despite that you dont understand the theory you "think"
its in error? You "think" its impossible but you wont listen to those who do undrstand it.

Who worships it? Anyone who alls it "truth" in an absolute sense , at least, doesn't understand how science works.
when its really just a fallible theory, a theory that will itself keep evolving.
Who suggested otherwise?

Pashaps you may consider how deep it is, the next time you jump into the water
You're straight up dodging the question at this point. You made a claim. You were asked to support it. The way discussion works is, the person asked to support their claim, does so, or retracts. The fact you've spent the last half dozen posts explaining why you shouldn't have to suggests to me you know you can't back up your claim.

Everything you have posted shows that you do not understand. You are woefully ignorant about even the basics of science.

I don't think so my friend. I have observed enough of the basics to see that ToE is just a fallible theory, and not brilliant scientific understanding. I admit that some people who follow ToE are quite intelligent, and they will discover many good things, however they are humans prone to fallibility, denial, and all manner of human fallacy, just as the rest of mankind also is. The fact that ToE is fallible, and that you would have me blindly accept it without question, is not unlike an appeal to authority.

Who is telling you to accept it without question, or saying it's infallible?

I think your major failing is trying to argue like the ToE is a religious text like the bible. Science works quite different and has a whole other epistemology.

Unfortunately some people do follow ToE as if it were a religion, instead of a fallible theory.
