You obviously don't know much about science, if you don't accept the evidence for evolution.

So... in other words... you want to brainwash me. No thanks.
GoodScienceForYou wrote on Feb 11th, 2010 at 10:12am:First they teach you that scientific theory is some form of truth, when it is not.
No, the scientific method is not a fact, or a guess, or anything requiring evidence or argument. It is a
process for determining truth, nothing more.

Another lie. Some concepts can be disproven. They can be falsified. If they are falsified, they do not get to be considered science. The theory of evolution could be falsified in many different ways... none of those ways have occurred, and so it is still valid.

But you
can test it! The discovery of Tiktaalik, for example, was a test of the theory. The fact that we can't reproduce 3 billion years of evolution doesn't mean it didn't happen any more than the fact that we can't murder someone twice doesn't mean they weren't murdered the first time!
GoodScienceForYou wrote on Feb 11th, 2010 at 10:12am:They tell you that you don't need any real evidence to prove evolution and that proof is not needed to form your religous beliefs. They have destroyed the scientific method of testing to see if it is real.
Another lie. We understand that some things are not possible to prove (in the mathematical sense of the word prove), but we also understand that sufficient evidence can be accumulated to lead to a reliable conclusion - as is the case with evolution. We do need evidence, and we do have it... and it all adds up to evolution.
GoodScienceForYou wrote on Feb 11th, 2010 at 10:12am:They do not allow any form of evidence or pure logic that does not fit their beliefs to be allowed in science classes.
Another lie. Any
actual,
credible evidence is open for discussion. What is not allowed is conjecture that has not met the requirements for credibility.

Studying the evidence to determine what the facts are is
not the same as
teaching evidence that isn't fact. Scientists
do study all of the evidence and all the facts... and some of what they study is determined not to be fact. If it's
not fact, then it doesn't get to be part of the theory, and it doesn't get to be taught in science classrooms. So what? I prefer not having my children taught things that are not true.
