More or less what I said.
Then settled.
More or less what I said.
Never heard of it. But, why should I have to explain everything you throw out as a question?
You claimed all science refers to history.
I asked how?
Paradox. Which is it, dude?Genetic variation and genetic mutation are inherent in all species.
Environmentally-favorable genetic mutations are preferentially selected for survival.
You’re familiar with this subject lol?
Such questions as origins of species, and ultimately man, were considered part of philosophy or religion during Darwin’s day. And again, as pointed out already, they considered themselves natural *philosophers*.
And not improperly, in my mind. It’s not *logically* unfair to consider them natural historians because what they come up with is an historical account of nature. That might actually be the most accurate description.
Darwin was not giving a historical account, but the causes for change in species.
He tried to, yes...but it builds a paradox.
The terms "evolutionist" and "evolutionism" mean it's a belief, a religion.
That was the simply the mechanism.
Common descent, the fossil record and the rest isn’t an historical account?
What do you call it then?
Officially? They're called biological scientists. There is no belief. Do you believe in theory of computer science? Physics?
All science refers to history to some extent. Darwin is not unique.
Darwin never created a theory of science.
So, if I say I don’t believe in evolution—that’s a meaningless statement?
Evolutionary science is a sub-category of biology, btw.
I think evolution is a basic principle for biology.
Nope. Theories of science in biology do not require any religion.
History is whatever happened before, literally.
So how is describing where the Moon will be in 1 hour's time using Newton's law of motion and Kepler's law, describing what has happened before?
Not really, evolution is presumed in most research in biology.
All research is based on some other research that happened before. Simple concept. Not profound.
No theory of science in biology requires a religion.
