Can you make assumptions in science?

Yes science has a large degree of a human element in it. People aren't perfect therefore science isn't perfect. Of course people will take this and go off on a tangent about how faulty science is. For the most part pure science is a good thing, it's the best way we can understand the physical world. Hopefully one day we can develop objective AI's that can conduct progress for us so it loses its subjective human element.

^^ impressive, as always

So David now that your entropy argument has been destroyed you are moving the goal posts to claim the input of energy cannot lead to increased complexity!! !! I suggest you look at the propensity for complexity and species numbers in relation to relatively high energy areas compared to lower areas. This is not only the case on the surface of the earth but but also true for the oceans.

Humans being per their own natural existence are perhaps one of the most fascinating examples of entropy overcome by mind over matter, at LEAST, DURING THE span of one lifetime.

Science suggests that the decline of strength and speed is inevitable after one reaches the age of 30.

Of course that empirical evidence is based on a sedentary population, moreover, after the age of 30.

NORMALLY animals REcreate themselves through the course of the lifespan through activities of rest and exercise to meet and adapt to the challenges of life.

l leg press 500LBS with my legs, per Nautilus Parallel leg press machine from the time I am 21 to just last year in the Spring Time frame.

I leg press 900LBS, just months later, as I simply find an adaptation through all natural challenge in martial arts and ballet dance to get almost twice as strong during that time period.

AND TO BE CLEAR, this is just one example in my life that I use here, as I can empirically prove it in videos and Hi-Definition photography evidence.

I come ARMED WITH FACTS, YES, in legs, as well.

I overcome what science suggests is inevitable entropy, in strength, among males at my age of 54.

I did it with mind over matter, WITH MIND AND BODY BALANCE.

Human mind and body balance, per mind over matter, IS the GREATEST ENTROPY BREAKER THERE IS, at least in human existence, as is.

OLDDavid, if you are weak now at your age, perhaps that colors your opinion of the entire Universe.

But nah.. Not me.. NOT ME who IS STILL MOVING Metaphorical mountains with the power of HUMAN WILL, FAITH, HOPE, AND simple belief IN ME with Trust in Mother Nature TRUE per ALL THAT IS.

All metaphorical and all literal MIXED where the FLESH AND BLOOD HITS the REAL ROADS OF LIFE.

YOU can dwindle away to entropy if you like, but I OPERATE with the Power of HUMAN relative FREE WILL, FAITH, HOPE, AND THE BELIEF IN ME WITH TRUST IN MOTHER NATURE TRUE, as something much more, than a frigging material reductionist science view.

MAGIC IS IN THE MIND AND SOUL, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS HEaRT.

Science is just a sketch, a black and white sketch, of what REAL INTEGRATED HUMANS WILL AND CAN DO in living COLOR.

While the pursuit of science is cool, the pursuit of human magicK AKA FULLER HUMAN POTENTIAL IS DIVINE.

And nah, while the New Testament has a few metaphors for it, there is NO EVIDENCE.. THAT I FOR ONE BRING to the table of flesh and BLOOD irrefutable EVIDENCE.

THE TRUE HUMAN FACT IS, if one believes in WHAT SCIENCE 'TELLS' 'us' alone THAT can kill what IS the true potential of HUMAN SPIRIT.

IN THAT Sense, SCIENCE CAN be an incredibly unhealthy tool.

HUMAN RELATIVE FREE WILL, FAITH, HOPE, AND BELIEF blows science AWAY, PER WHAT REALLY COUNTS AS A HUMAN BEING.

And nah, it doesn't have to be anything associated with religion OR culture either, as religion AND CULTURE tends to do even WORSE IN TRUE human effect and AFFECT BY oppressing, repressing, and subjugating human nature, through illusory fears, for materialistic gains.

I'm all about the flesh and blood, AS that's wHere REAL LIFE STARTS AND ENDS THE ROAD, of what we know now of 'OUR' realITy.

ALL these written words AND OTHER ABSTRACT SYMBOLS are NOTHING COMPARED TO REAL HUMAN BEING.

Ok so now that your attempts to fabricate science have been exposed we have the "i dont like it as it suggests morals are subjective" canard followed by the "evolutionism/evolutionists is/are a religion all to itself/themselves canard"

For the first one, well supply evidence that there is Objective morals. I know I can supply many examples of how morals change, Narrator has already suggested some of them.

Now for the asinine "Evolutionist" Canard. This word is used by creationists to suggest that anyone who understands and accepts Evolutionary BIology is subjegating themselves to a doctrine, and anyone accepting its postulates do so as a priori assumptions. To suggest this is bordering upon slander. Anyone who has read the scientific literature would understand just how false this "assumption" is. You are suggesting that there is some kind of symmetry between between valid, evidence-based, reality-based science and assertion-laden, mythology-based doctrine and you are completely wrong.

Evolutionary BIology has been tested, retested and subjected to every possible attempt to disprove it, and yet rather than being thrown in the bin as a crazy idea it has grown, matured, become ever more complex and marvelous, and right here is the difference between a scientific theory and doctrine, a scientific theory must be falsifiable. Evolutionary biology is so easily falsified, all it would take is the wrong fossil to be in the wrong geological layer and wam its finished. As J. B. S. Haldane is famously reported to have said when asked what evidence he would accept to disprove Evolutionary theory "fossil rabbits in the precambrian".

Aside from all the evidence separating Evolution from doctrine, there is also the little matter of the ability for a scientific theory to make predictions, something that Evolutionary theory has done on many many occasions, again this is something that a religious doctrine can never do.

So whilst you disparage those who understand evolutionary biology as Evolutionists, you might as well call us gravitationists, or for those of us who accept germ theory microbists, and as for those darn electromagnetists!! !
