Then don't tell me science doesn't run on the No True Scotsman principle and expect me to take it with anything other than a grain of salt.
I can't ... and I have a feeling if one was ever written, it would be rejected; so your dare can take a hike.Find me a primary scientific source that says that [macroevolution is one animal 'chaning into' another animal]. I dare you.
I don't dance with scientists ... they can take a hike.Wow. Talk about a non-sequitur. Usually, people try to find a roundabout way of bringing the discourse back to their side. You just straight-up re-assert it as if it's magically become true.
Right ... that's why it changes with the weather, doesn't it?
How many times has the Periodic Table of the Elements been changed? how many times does this 'established methodology and standard of practice' add, delete, or modify a previous 'established methodology and standard of practice'?
When you make conclusions like this, Rick, it only reinforces my attitude toward today's scientists in general.Wow! Just wow. This needs in the "The Craziest Thing You've Heard" thread.
So, I gather by your comment that that science has no business updating the Periodic Table when new information becomes available.
Awesome.
*braces self for AV's inevitable Periodic Table nonsense*

Someone has a high center of gravity, doesn't he?Really? Knock me over with a mouse fart.
Don't worry. Evolution is not going to be disproved this side of the Rapture.If it were merely 'written', then yes.
If it were written, supported by a body of critically robust evidence and passed peer review, it would disprove evolution as we know it, turn the scientific community on its head and win a Nobel prize.

Just don't claim science doesn't run on the No True Scotsman principle and expect me to believe it.

Science can ... and should ... update the Periodic Table.
Just don't claim science doesn't run on the No True Scotsman principle and expect me to believe it.
ETA: Just for fun:
Absolutely ... "fact" is a relative term.Until then, evolution remains fact?
Just like Phlogiston was a "fact", Pluto being our 9th planet was a "fact", Thalidomide being a prenatal wonder drug was a "fact", and L'Aquila was safe to stay in was a "fact".
I get the impression that you expect everything to be perfect from the start.Right ... that's why it changes with the weather, doesn't it?

Here's your 'established methodology and standard of practice': 74
They are 'facts', just the same ... (or were facts at one time).To review, again, none of these were ever 'facts' in the same sense that evolution is a fact. Fallacy of equivocation.
If or until it gets falsified ... yes.And if there is no rapture, it remains fact?

Rapture or not, ALL of Christianity is based on the Resurrection. If we are NOT raised from the dead, then we all die and that is the end of it. There is no eternal life without the Resurrection. Our atoms are going to be resurrected. Even if you cremate the body and scatter the atoms all over the world, God at a point in time will bring them all back together again.And if there is no rapture, it remains fact?
You can not really falsify the rapture, it would just become symbolic and not literal. Do we not hear that fifty million billion times right here on this very board? It is not literal, it is symbolic, so they claim it is not real just a myth or a story that people tell each other, a product of the imagination.If or until it gets falsified ... yes.
I think he was asking me about falsifying evolution, not the Rapture.And if there is no rapture, it remains fact?
If or until it gets falsified ... yes.
