You do not seem to understand how experiments are done in the sciences. There are all sorts of experiments for macroevolution. It has been observed in the lab and in the field in real time. You probably do not understand the concept of macroevolution. No creationist every does.
Meanwhile believers in Noah and his magic boat often believe in hypermacroevolution with new species appearing at record rates.
Macroevolution refers to events above the species level, whereas microevolution refers to evolutionary changes within populations.
I have to put two and two together. I believe in God. I believe also that He inspired the Bible. I believe in God because when I look at life and the universe I think it is spectacular and wonderful and beyond human wisdom. To clarify, however, I did not always believe in God. So my thinking changed. Did God prove himself to me? Yes, in a way He did. Do I regularly pray? Yes. Does that mean I understand everything about God? Of course not. But I am awaiting better things that I believe God has in store for mankind. As Jesus taught his disciples to pray for God's kingdom to come and His will be done on the earth as it is in heaven.
How do you define religion? I think this may be necessary before we can move forward with a discussion of science, creation, and religion.
Give me an example of a "primary" scientific method and I can point to several instances within the sciences that do not adhere to it.
"the sciences" refers to various branches of scientific study as opposed to refering directly to science.
Scientific practices are derived from the philosophy of science. To this day, some languages still refer to science as "natural philosophy" and doctorates in scientific fields are still called Philosophy Doctorates or PhDs for short.
There is not a clean division between science and philosophy. Rather, I think science is better understood as applied philosophy.
Applied science refers to the practical application of scientific knowledge.
We should be clear about what we are talking about. If
@YoursTrue would like to talk about philosophy, I am not opposed.
The only difference between "microevolution" and "macroevolution" is time. They're the same process. We also have observed macroevolution, at least as far as that term is defined within biology, due to our direct observations of speciation.
There are many breeds of dogs, but there is still only one dog species, Canis Familiaris. Just because birds have engaged in selective breeding practices, doesn't mean they've macroevolved. If you have an unambiguous example of observed macroevolution, please share. There is disagreement as to whether or not observed evolution within, for example, Finches constitutes speciation (or "macroevolution").
There is also nothing pseudoscientific about studying the fossil record to form conclusions. Studies on the fossil record are a good example of how science is not always about testing hypotheses, though, because much of it relies on extrapolating what we already know from other fields. The fact that it does not adhere to some kind of "primary scientific method" does not make it pseudoscience, which I explained in my previous post.
That said, we can make predictions about what we expect to find in the fossil record based on hypothetical models, and we have done that. So even if the problem was that we do not use the scientific method when investigating the fossil record, which by itself is not as big of an issue as you might think, we do actually still use the scientific method when studying the fossil record.
That's why we have fossil discoveries that make headlines when they "prove" or "debunk" various niche hypothetical models.
It would probably make more sense to you if you went back to my previous post and re-read it, because I don't think you know what science is or how it differs from pseudoscience if you're going to call the evidence for macroevolution in the fossil record "psuedoscientific."
Studying the fossil record is only one step in the scientific method. Any "scientific" process which skips experiment hasn't completed the scientific method. This isn't a disparagement of fossil record study. Observation, study, and research are important steps in the scientific method.
Your mistake, which is a mistake just about all creationists make, is thinking that micro evolution and macro evolution are somehow different processes.
They are not.
Consider the analogy of walking.
The process is just "walking".
"micro walking" is taking 5 steps.
"macro walking" is taking 1000 steps.
Both are just walking.
The theory says they are the same process, which is different than saying an experiment has confirmed it. It's a subtle point, but that doesn't make it insignificant. Observing someone walk 5 steps, doesn't mean you've observed someone leave the room. This isn't a disparagement of the theory of evolution. If macroevolution didn't appear to make sense as a corollary to microevolution, then it wouldn't be part of the theory.
