Nice to see some proper discussion of wht science is and how it works.

For instance -

Stu
what is important is understanding what science is and how it works, and you don't need to be a scientist to know that. You do have to get off your arse do some work though to familiarise yourself with the philosophies and methodologies that make 'science' what it is, and explains how it's come to be practiced as it is and how it changes with time.

evolutionary scientists, like all true scientists, assign probabilities to their conclusions - and rarely, if ever, do they assign a probability of 100%.

Could someone explain this to Steve "Evolution is true! Evolution is true! Evolution is true!" Shaw?
