Scientist correct evolutionary theory, showcase flexibility of evolution science

While many lines of criticism have been leveled against evolution theory over the years, one of the most ironic reoccurring criticisms focuses in one of its greatest strengths -- flexibility. [Frontpage...]

Interesting. Thanks for the link, Dan!

What would a theory of evolution be if it did not evolve to cover the new data?
Extinct...":O}

Your welcome Goerge!

So they made it say what they wanted it to say?

I suppose you could look at it that way.

But you'd be missing the big picture.

The Scientific Method, when properly applied, REQUIRES that you constantly challenge your assertions and assumptions. If you can prove your assertions or assumptions to be wrong, then obviously the theory is wrong and you either have to alter the theory or scrap it altogether.

No Sam, so they can accurately express what the data is telling them.

This is how science encounters and incorporates new data, new facts, new knowledge. This is method correcting it's own approach to better understand what it seeks to discover. watch what happens now! This is really exciting! Others will now check and try and confirm (or if their own work is deflated in it's value by theses findings disprove them. (Hey! nobody's perfect here! ":O}

If their findings are repeatedly reproduced across the labs of the world, they will have verification and science itself will revolutionize itself in light of new knowledge. Whole new fields of verifiable inquiry will open up and mankind will get a new and better picture of our world.... these are the same guys that brought us gravity and took a flat world and made it round...we should trust them maybe just a little....?

You know Sam, you may not agree with the scientific method, though I can scarcely understand why that might be, But do you really think that those who do simply use it to deceive themselves or others?

Do you really think they work arbitrarily and without compass? To then just spit out stuff to offend the religious right?

I hope you'll talk about this. I'm not "Out to get ya Sam." Let us reason together...":O}
