“True” Science
Science is an interconnected series of concepts and conceptual schemes that have developed as a result of experimentation and observation, and are fruitul of further experimentation and observations.
-Science and Common Sense - By: Dr. James B. Conant (former president of Harvard)
Scientific proof is based on showing that something is a fact by repeating the event in the presence of the person questioning the fact.
-More than a Carpenter - Josh McDowell
The scientific method, however it is defined, is related to measurement of phenomena and experimentation or repeated observation.
-The New Encyclopaedia Britannica - Micropaedia Vol. VIII, pg 985
Science:
1: a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws
2. systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation.
Translation:
“True” Science is something that can be reproduced and observed.

I suppose that means Pluto does not revolve around the sun?
Though discovered in 1930, we still haven’t OBSERVED Pluto complete it’s 249 year orbit.
That is true. According to “true” science, we cannot prove that. We can theorize that Pluto will complete it’s orbit based on calculations and observations - but it cannot be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. For all we know, pluto could swerve off course and leave our solar system.
Very true my friend. Which means, Evolution AND Creation are both a)theories and b)religion.
Exactly. That is the point I’m trying to make.
