Incorrect. This is the second time you have said that. If your only defense of evolution is to bash creationsim, then you have already lost. Let evolution defend itself. Let it tell us why it is a fact.
Nobody was invoking anything. I just made a comment. Was it false?
Yes, you only made a comment. And I responded to that comment (as a side note to the rest of my post I might add). You say that evolutionists are unwilling to consider the super natural, I explain why (because science minded people see no need for it when there are more reasonable explanations and because deferring an explanation to the super natural typically solves absolutely nothing) and counter that Intelligent Design proponents do the exact opposite and insist on invoking the super natural whenever they claim that something is beyond human comprehension (or atleast their view of human comprehension, warped by an unwillingness or failure to understand scientific evidence).
Unless you are going to argue that Intelligent Design at its very core is not about the super natural (which would be easily refuted) I fail to see which part of my comment was "incorrect" exactly.
But I am not going to bow down to the evolution religion. And understand, I am not calling what science is doing religion, but I am getting a sense that there is more faith than will be admitted, and much of the study revolves around assuming evolution as fact and then look for things to support it.
I already wrote this in my previous post, but again, the only way there is any "faith" involved in the evolution theory is if you insist that science claims it to be the perpetual truth which it simply doesn't. The evolution theory is a fact based on what we currently know. That means that the amount of evidence that supports it is so huge that to consider any other currently existing alternative (like ID, for which there is
no evidence) is simply ridiculous. That doesn't mean it will forever remain an absolute truth. As I said, maybe a 100 years from now the theory will have been revised somewhat or will have been replaced with an altogether different theory that explains things to a more satisfactory level. The evolution theory isn't "done" or anything. It's not like scientists are patting eachother on the back, congratulating eachother on a job well done and moving on to other ventures. It represents what we know now. And that may very well differ from what we know ten years from now. If you were asked to consider the evolution theory to be the unequivocal truth for all eternity then yes it would require faith. But no scientist has ever asked or claimed that to be the case. This in stark contrast with religion and theories like ID which are based upon it, which simply state a "truth" that they feel cannot and should not be challenged and that will never evolve. That requires faith.
The fact that you compare evolution to religion (only to instantly distance yourself from the comparison) tells me that you really do have trouble making this distinction. Maybe as you read more scientific publications you'll get a clearer picture of the way scientific discourse works. Science doesn't share Religion's arrogance in assuming to have answers that cannot or should never be challenged or revised. This goes for any scientific field and evolutionary biology really is no different even if you constantly insist it is despite the fact that you yourself admit you have very little formal knowledge of the subject.
But anyway, I am just repeating my previous post now so I guess rather than continuing this rant I will just refer to my previous post in this thread.
[edit: added a few additional notes to clarify my point]
