Religion has Hyms, Science gets this :)

@ShakinAlso what is scientism?

@ShakinJamacian I have never heard anyone say that science can be used to disprove the existence of god, mostly because you don't prove a negative.

@keesengels Perhaps, but with religion they think they know and as such do not look to refine their answers.

@disfigured75 As Quintinothree said, I'm not saying evolution isn't observed any more than I'm saying atoms, electricity or the Earth going around the Sun haven't been observed. I'm making the point that a theory is actually MORE powerful than a law because it proposes a mechanism: In evolution's case, natural selection acting upon random mutations.

@disfigured75 He's not saying it hasn't, just that the theory of evolution doesn't describe but explain those observations of which the yeast experiment is only one of the latest major ones.

@KPhysicsGeek I hate to burst your bubble, but according to the yeast cell experiment lab release last week, evolution has been observed. Look it up.

@DirigiblePlumCompany He started the idea. That's like saying the Wright Brothers aren't responsible for the 747.

@ShakinJamacian I was never implying that science can prove there's a God. I was saying that if there is a higher power, it did not specifically create the Universe just for humans. Science is is not just the study of our physical world, it's much broader. Religion and science can be correlated because they both have to do with how we got here.

@DirigiblePlumCompanyAbsolutely correct, although I must nuance that Darwin did discover natural selection, although he didn't publish On the Origin of Species untill he knew Alfred Russel Wallace had discovered it independently. |
