Oversoul
The Tentacled One
What I said...
In any case, gravity is better understood than evolution. Physicists are able to calculate how gravity will affect something. Gravity is not fully understood. There are competing theories. That should not be a problem. There have always been competing theories in science.
There are competing theories in evolution too. Experiments with fruit flies don't give us information as to how evolution really works. It has not been demonstrated that scientists can predict how evolution will affect something, as has been done with gravity. There are unanswered questions in evolutionary theory. And there are even competing theories involved in explaining certain details. I see a lot more uncertainty here than with gravity...
How does that fit with...Gravity may not be understood very well, but it has been demonstrated countless times.
Well?Gizmo said:You say gravity is understood and yet fundamentally it isnt because there's two competing theories that explain part of it but cannot both be true (thats the whole search for a 'Unified Field Theory' business you may have heard about).
