Falsifiability is very important in science; scientific theories and hypotheses can not be scientific unless they are falsifiable. When creationist finally learn this they attempt to use it to discredit the theory of evolution. Before I tear apart the argument I should explain what falsification is and its relevance in science. If something is unfalsifiable [...]

The odds of a single protein forming are *insert really big number here* to 1 Creationists in an attempt to discredit abiogenises or any other scientific field will spout really big numbers in an attempt to make "it" look impossible. Less dishonest creationists will use real statistics but will misrepresent those statistics, others will just [...]

How do scientists know that? No one was there to see it, no one was there to see something evolve, no one was there to see life form, no one was there to see the big bang, etc. Do you need to see a person walking across a beach to know someone walked across a [...]

This is another one along the lines of "evolution is a religion". This argument is an attempt to discredit evolution by not only saying it is equal to religion but also saying there is no evidence for it (faith is a belief in something with out or despite evidence). Evolution is not a religion nor [...]
