Unlike Islam or Christianity, science autocorrects itself.
- Autocorrecting implies incorrectness. You've lost the argument before you even started.
There is no argument. I’m having a conversation with a child.
- Admit to yourself what you don’t know.
- Understand all humans can be wrong, and all humans can be corrected; No human is infallible.
- Acknowledge there are smarter people than you or I.
- Stay curious.
Neo-Darwinism is the last synthesis of Darwinian evolution. They scrap the previous syntheses & invent new stories, because they realize it was all fantasy exposed with new discoveries.
Aren’t new discoveries good?
They are at their 5th synthesis now, because of the Genome Project; comparative genealogy do not support the traditional tree of life they concocted.
Are you talking about the human genome project? Which tree of life are you talking about? I’m note sure how they would conflict. Please explain.
So far they are still arguing about what this extended synthesis is, because they are not sure what stories to tell before they know the facts. Like politicians.
Are you talking about science popularisers, or actual scientific study/experiments, peer review, replications?
The device your using is the product of countless hours of the later.
Science cares about truth and it looks inwards when disputing, while Islam/Christianity care about dominance and they look outwards.
Science does not relate to truth in the slightest, it relates to accuracy & likelihood.
Truth: the quality or state of being true.
True: in accordance with fact or reality.
Science cares about fact and reality.
But yes, you’re right too.
No scientific theory can ever be true, by design. Science practices an inductive reasoning, where one seeks a universal explanation (an abstract hypothesis) to a particular event (a concrete observable fact), by computation of frequency.
You’re conflating truth with what I call absolute truth.
In short: observations, then hypothesis explaining observations, then statistical comparison of results of hypothesis against new observations, then rinse & repeat. A good such hypothesis is a possible, plausible, simple, verifiable, falsifiable & accurate explanation:
Plausible: intuitive & in harmony with the general scientific narrative.
Simple: as opposed to complex, more complexions mean more assumptions.
Verifiable: fits observable facts.
Falsifiable: predicts new observable facts
Accurate: quantitative postulate with minimal statistical margin of error.
I agree. Although you might be intentionally misunderstanding some words when it comes to evolution compared to quantum mechanics.
You’re the one fixated on “stories” and “narratives.”
- You have it backwards. You have yet to produce any proof or evidence for the mythos that is the evolutionary narrative you subscribe to. Don't take my word for it, check the theory of evolution against the conditions required by the scientific method.
First, what would you consider sufficient evidence? I guess watching an animal turn into another animal, like a fish turning into a human or something.
Is the theory of evolution plausible? No, it isn't. It's a dumb reductionist theory in a quantum world.
How does quantum mechanics indicate the theory of evolution is void? You might as well say that about general relativity.
Simple? Absolutely not. It's the most convoluted expansive tale ever produced by Mankind. Verifiable? That's a joke. Falsifiable? Haha. It's the only known so-called theory that predicts Jack Schitt. Accurate? It doesn't predict anything or give us any measure of anything to even have the chance to be inaccurate, let alone accurate.
By your standards quantum theory isn’t science.
- I'm ready to provide proof for the Islamic narrative that I'm willing to debate it on this forum. Are you ready to provide evidence for your narrative?
“Maybe in 500 years we'll have a quantum theory of biology.“
That’s why. These ideas must be too big for me. Please explain what you mean.
- Our understanding of biology stems from our understanding of chemistry, which stems from our understanding of physics, which stems from our understanding of quantum theory.
No, our understanding doesn’t. They may inform each other to one degree or another. But our understanding of everything else doesn’t derive from our understanding of quantum mechanics if that’s what you’re referring to.
When you move the tip of your finger, it's not a crankshaft mechanism, instead countless quantum chemical reactions are in play, from the muscle tissue down to the cell & down to the molecules & down to the smallest particles involved.
How about both? Not sure I fully understand your crankshaft analogy but I think I know what you’re getting at.
It's impossible to explain biodiversity with imbecilic vacuous tales about similarity in bone structure & common ancestor. We must achieve a bottom-up understanding of biology, by expanding our understanding in physics, maybe even beyond quantum theory, then building up from elementary particles interactions up to the organic compounds (nucleic acids, lipids, proteins & carbohydrates), up to cell structure & so on. Hence, a quantum theory of biology, with actual equations & predictions.
The study of evolution covers countless scientific fields. I don’t know where to begin.
They all point to common ancestors.
i.e. modern humans didn’t just show up out of no where. We can see that in the fossil and genetic record.
