Charles P: Stewart, have you changed the subject? What about the "£650,823,060 Phase One" money prize? Is it going to end up like the Harry Lonsdale reward? ...
If you define evolution as change in any direction, you can easily prove evolution. In fact you can see it happening with your eyes, observe it as it is...

Me: "Where is the 'overwhelming AMOUNT of evidence from so many different SOURCES, so many different FIELDS of study' showing that the Darwinian mechanism of...
D R Lindberg: "...you are in effect calling ALL of science 'Circular reasoning.39; Are you surprised that some people might consider that position a bit...
... No, no. Logic is independent of empirical methods. Now, if you had said "This is not good science if there is no empirical evidence for the conclusion."...

... You are quite right. That, of course, is necessary if one is going to pursue the question of whether the hypothesis is supported by empirical evidence....

Stewart: Charles, wake up and smell what you're shovelling. I don't have to delve into the internet to look for verification to know that it's fake, because...
Gluadys: The only issue now is whether such forms, demanded by logical conclusion, also show up as empirical artifacts. If they do, the logic of the theory is...
Me (providing a link to an essay by Wm. Dembski answering the question): "Is Darwinism theologically neutral?" Stewart: "What difference does it make whether...
