Theories always remain theories. No matter what.

Of course... just as all cats are mammals.

But not all mammals are cats. And not all things that begin with ideas are theories.

Facts are always facts. They don't "become" facts.

The plural of anecdote is "not data."

Because the plural of anecdote is "not data."

And that is why you believe the things you do. So please... stop pretending it's science if, as you seem to admit here, you know that it's not.

It depends. Not if they're mere anecdotes.

If they were real, however, and there actually are millions of them, then they should be susceptible to scientific observation and testing. I mean... millions you say. The proof of their existence should be trivial.

So... please... do show us.

It depends on what you propose is doing the creating.

How would you perform a scientific experiment on human experience?

Would you say that love is a fact and how would you prove it?

PET scans.

Everything that is real, yes.

Of course.

Who ever pretended we understand everything?

Can't be bothered to debate with creationist idiots, so I just decided to post videos showing concrete proof that evolution is a fact. Of course they won't bother to watch any of it, nor will I get any replies.

Very interesting stuff...but it's oh so much nicer to believe in fairy tales.
