To theorize is to speculate, not guess. A guess is an assumption which has no basis in prior knowledge. It has no precedent from which to draw. So to say scientists guess, is not valid.

I'll, once again, state this. Science does indeed accept, as fact, the conclusions of current experimentation, until future experimentation forces revisions of the accepted facts. That is how Science advances.

You are absolutely 100% correct that what Science knows is very small when compared to what is unknown. That is the enjoyment of the sciences. However, what we do know, is as far as current experimentation allows us to say, known fact. Attempting to trivialize science for it's 'lack' of knowledge is not valid. What it does know is proven, testable fact. Religion has no such basis from which to draw when stating its conclusions.

It is not a question of 'right' or 'wrong' it is about what is fact and what is guesswork.

But I leave you with the obvious conclusion that instead of being able to respond to simple questions, you just throw your own crap around the room like some angry chimp.

I expect you are a Christian. Only a Christian would behave the way you behave.
Be careful Haswell. Those remarks would themselves be considered Ad Hominem. Our objective, as ones of Science, is to learn more about the Universe. One objective as rationalists, however, is to promote the reliability of Science and the method used to advance Science.

We should be mindful of undermining our efforts with pointless name-calling.

Oh morgin's post was not lost on me. It was simply not worth the effort to reply. Anyone reading it can see it is barely relevant and laced with bias and name-calling.

I appreciate you withdrawing your post. To put it in everyday parlance: It shows you're the bigger man for not letting the name-calling stand. Kudos.
