In my post I asked for a
definition of the THEORY of
evolution and you have not
provided one. Do you
understand what I asked for? I
did not ask for a list of
things having to do with YEC.
You seem to be actively
avoiding a response to the
question. (This is no
surprise, since I have yet to
meet someone who will stick
his/her neck out.) It is easy
to criticize others, not so
easy to defend your own
opinion.
For example, Darwin suggested
that THEORY is that evolution
(right up through mankind) has
taken place by :
1.) Natural Selection
(survival of the fittest)
and
2.) Constant mutation by
various random processes
Would you subscribe to that?
If not, what is your version
of the theory? In either case,
what would you offer for
falsification criteria (I say
"falsify", not support)
Walt
Can't get rid of this yucky
green stuff.

In any consistent theory, there must exist true but not provable statements. (Godel's Theorem)
You can only find the truth with logic If you have already found the truth without it. (G.K. Chesterton)
