 -=> Quoting Richard Meic to Sue Michaud <=-
 RM> Science does not claim anything to be FACTUAL or TRUE,
But, Evolutionists claim that Evolution to be factual and true.
 RM> As an example: Newton's laws of gravitation described how
 RM> bodies behaved in a gravitational field, it was useful for it made
 RM> predictions.  But, along came Einstein with his relativity theory
 RM> because Newton's equations failed to describe the motion of Mercury's
 RM> orbit.  Einstein's equations were more complex and described Mercury's
 RM> orbit.  It does not mean that  Newton's equations were "wrong", but
 RM> rather useful to describe an aspect of reality,... up to a point.
Yo, Meic, give yourself a good slap upside the back of your
head.  No one is saying Evolution is wrong because it needs
some modification to help explain a few special observations.
Evolution is wrong because it is backwards of how nature
operates.
 RM> From a scientific standpoint, evolution only describes an aspect of 
 RM> reality and it makes predictions.
Evolution makes no predictions.  But, maybe you could delude
yourself into believing that Evolution predicts that 2+2=5
and because you believe that 2+2=5 then Evolution must be
true.
 RM> Creationism has no authority in science, and evolution has no
 RM> authority  in religion.  That is the way it is, and should not be any
 RM> different.
And, what does your loony ranting about authority have to
do with "truth"?
