I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. There is no experiment mentioned in Genesis 2. What is the hypothesis that is being tested? What evidence is being considered?
I see only the need to sit and read it again.

Man as a species.....Day Six....
Day Seven.....all is created and no more will be created...
THEN Chapter Two.
a story of manipulation, alteration....

there is a science fiction story that leans the same way....Prometheus.

NOUN

  1. a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained:
    "Darwin's theory of evolution"
    synonyms: hypothesis · thesis · conjecture · supposition ·
lol ... it always makes me cringe when people don't understand the extremely elementary fact that a "scientific theory" is not the same as a "theory". To get the meaning of "scientific theory", you fraudulently look up the term "theory" to bolster your failing argument. Next time try looking up the actual term in question ... "scientific theory". Do you really not realize that terms used in the realm of scientific research often have different meanings than everyday usage?!

scientific theory (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/scientific-theory)
noun
1. a coherent group of propositions formulated toexplain a group of facts or phenomena in thenatural world and repeatedly confirmed throughexperiment or observation:
the scientific theory of evolution.

I stand by my previous post.

evolution is a discussion sound enough to believe.....without a petri dish experiment.
it's a really good explanation.
You can stand by it all you want, but a theory doesn't graduate to the level of a "scientific theory" unless confirmed through repeated experimentation and observation. Not too difficult to look up the term (although, last time you looked up "theory" instead of "scientific theory", so it might be harder than I think).

.....Therefore? You aren't seriously suggesting that your guesses should be taken as fact?

that's all fine and good if you could apply it....
God doesn't fit in the petri dish

What guesses are you referring to? I was just pointing out the fact that a "scientific theory" is "a coherent group of propositions formulated to explain a group of facts or phenomena in the natural world and repeatedly confirmed through experimentation and observation. The Theory of Evolution is a "scientific theory". To fraudulently look up the term "theory", which is a much more general, less-demanding term, instead is a dishonest practice, IMHO.

OK, as long as you understand the demanding nature of the term "scientific theory" as opposed to a mere "theory" or "hypothesis". Just wanted to point out the huge difference.

it's just word play to you....

Not word play. You obviously weren't aware of what a scientific theory was. It's an important term to understand especially in discussion forums like this.

Right, you never explained which petri dish you were referring to. Can you do that?

What evidence? And, creationism isn't scientific in any way, as it doesn't utilize the scientific method. Creationism starts with a conclusion and attempts to find evidence to support that conclusion. The scientific method requires us to allow the evidence to take us wherever it leads.

All science starts with a hypothesis and then seeks evidence/testing.

There is factually none that is credible, NONE.

Its all faith based wishful thinking and a sever perversion of the scientific methods.




Non sequitur



Peer review is laughable in this context. They have no facts in support, and no credible university EVER teaches this as anything else but religious faith and mythology.

If credible universities only taught fact and not opinion, would Cambridge and Oxford have taught a flat earth when they opened for business? Credible universities--the ones to which you ascribe credulity--teach commonly accepted opinions as well as facts. If you really think all college classes teach only facts and not opinions, you are revealing to us that you are a high school or middle school graduate only.
