Natural selection is not testable
My thoughts on the Pigliucci vs Fodor Debate
He started out trying to define science. He stated that science is very difficult to demarcate. Many times in debates between IDists and anti-IDists we see the first point to be made is that ID is not testable. Massimo seems to disagree that this is the right strategy. Even astrology and creationism make testable claims. Yet no mainstream scientist or philosopher of science would consider these two propositions science. On the other hand, string theory is considered science by many (not all) scientists. Yet it is at the moment, untestable. So it’s complicated.
Eh? Natural selection is not testable save in a very limited cases. And the result never shows real macroevolution. So much for P’s clear thinking skills
Someone please put Daniel Dennett’s claim that free will evolved by natural selection to the test. Please!!
As this example shows the Darwinian claims are hype, and they get away with it because noone can put their claims to a test.
Instead they just browbeat and bully people who get out of line.
