So when you capitalize the word "god" it magically changes the meaning?So when we add the word "scientific" to the word "theory" it magically changes the meaning?

Capitalising the word "God" points out the real one. (John 17:3) So it doesn't change the meaning of the word, it just makes a differentiation between a true one and a fake.
Changing fiction into fact is something that evolutionists do all the time.....isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?
The dictionary defines what a theory is. (Look it up) Making it "scientific" doesn't alter the meaning of that word at all except in the minds of those who support the ones who changed it.

Really?
So the Flying Speghetti Monstor God...
Look, the capitalized "god, is pointing to the real one, right?
Bold empty claim.
But I understand how you are required to lie and be dishonest in order to hold onto your beliefs.
Thank you for further proving my "your faith requires to many lies and dishonesty" point.The dictionary defines what a theory is. (Look it up) Making it "scientific" doesn't alter the meaning of that word at all except in the minds of those who support the ones who changed it.

It's the first one that comes up when you Google "definition of theory"...Try it.

Going with the first thing you agree with is not research, it is ratification.
One would think with all the changes made to your preferred Bible, you would understand that.

Factually does not apply to the facts of evolution.
A scientific theory is not the same. Creationist are often not honest about the FACTUAL difference

And thank you for staying true to form....
It is noted that you seem to excel at slander Mestemia. Do you do this to everyone, or just me?
Accusing people of being liars and dishonest seems to be a favorite pastime for you. The dishonesty behind your own posts is quite revealing though. You twist what people say to promote your views....go for it. You don't have to answer to me.
Shooting the messenger doesn't make the message go away.

LOL....I didn't have to search for one that agreed with what I believe....that isn't research.....that is just plain searching. It was just the first one that came up.

What is it?
Well now that is a good question! What does that word mean, anyways? When I use it, lowercase "god", it's very generalized. With it capitalized "God", it's more specific. It's kind of a pronoun because God has a name, but there's more that can be said about The Name than actually saying it. The JW's really get into this one, though I'm not sure if Jehovah is a correct translation of yod-hey-vav-hey, considering that God is older than the English language, certainly older than the letter J.

You are hardly in a position to challenge anyone's honesty here, your posts are painfully dishonest. If I were Jesus, I would hate to have you as my messenger, you would just make me look like a charlatan.And thank you for staying true to form....

ROTFLMAO
Your bold empty threats are still most comical.
If you do not wish to be called a liar, stop lying.
If you wish to stop having your dishonesty pointed out, stop being dishonest.
It really is a simple concept.
Now I shall allow you the last word.
Hopefully you won't waste it with more bold empty threats.

When we are talking about science, we use the definition that applies to science.Guess it depends on the dictionary.....

Unless, of course, the definition that applies to science undermines your agenda....When we are talking about science, we use the definition that applies to science.

Or the word fails to render the definition you wish to apply. A theory means a theory.....evolution is what some people "believe" took place....it is not a fact however, no matter how you mess with the definition.
Adding the word "scientific" only makes it sound like fact. It is a skewing of the true definition....verbal sleight of hand.
