Re: Assurance of faith

>>It is plain and simple. Evolutionary theory fails in its ability to
make
predictions. Predictions and not mere explanations is the essence of any
scientific theory. One, of course, can never know the future. But
theories created by man can make predictions and therein lies the
failure of evolutionary theory as a scientific theory.>>

Weather forecasting also fails in its ability to make any more than short
term predictions.

Economics (the dismal science) is even worse.

Predictive capability is NOT the essence of science, my friend. Neither
is explainability.

For more on this see John Casti's excellent book PARADIGMS LOST.
