Stretching the evidence to fit the claim...

Ok, I just thought I had to comment on this piece that I found on this web page - http://www.the-atheist.com/looking-at-both-sides-of-the-argument/

Suggest you read it to get the full article.


“On the one side we have the religious, regurgitating the same old flawed, defeated, arguments in new and badly written diatribes. On the other side we have science. Tests, experiements, results and reproducable scenarios. The absurdity of the fact that such a so-called argument even exists is clearly evident.”


- Most science has tests, experiements, results and reproducable scenarios… no doubt about it.
But the problem with evolutionary “science” is that it doesnt really meet the “quality standards” of science.
Ill illustrate with just a small example:- the report of the bacterium evolving to a “point where they have lost one of the limitations that effectively defined them as a species.” is merely evident of genetic changes taking place in living organisms…nothing more, nothing less.


This simple fact of genetic changes (that most educated religious people acknowledge as a trait of living beings)is stretched by some people, to serve as “irrefutable evidence” for their actual claim - that life forms evolved from a single cell to intelligent humans.


The fact that science can never observe the actual claim just gets swept under the carpet. All thats left is an assumption inflated with the hot air of “evolutionary science”. One can only ‘believe’ that “evolutionary science” indeed has final and binding evidence to support their hopes and faith…that there really is nothing beyond what we have observed.
