I think we should be honest.
We're simply not interested in wasting our time to satisfy their standards of proof.
Creationists are stuck in 16th century thinking. Their definition of life is incorrect, and their definition of time is incorrect too.
Creationists are full of illogic. Life is not separate from energy. They are the same thing. Life is just a little more complex, that's all. But it's still made of electrons and photons and quarks. Same exact thing. There's nothing different about it.
Scientists don't try to "prove" stuff. We perform experiments so we can make more detailed observations. Ultimately these observations become useful for engineering. Marconi leads to synthetic aperture radar, that kind of thing.
Accomplishments are the proof. The successes of genetic engineering are proof enough. I'm not going to argue about fossils, don't know and don't care. As you say, if I need to know I can look at Wiki.
What's not on Wiki is a viable theory of nonlinear time. The string theorists have one (several, in fact), but it's too early for experiments.
Evolution, however, is pretty cut and dried by now. We can watch it with our own eyes. I don't think any geneticists worry about "proof". Or let's put it this way, Einstein "proved" relativity mathematically, and 100 years later our telescopes are still trying to "prove" he was right.
It isn't about the proof, it's about the DISproof. It's about successively better observations, more detailed and more precise.
As usual you ramble and throw in needless terms.
Bordering on incoherent, but Always missing the point/Gist.
It has nothing to do with "trying" to find proof, etc x100 in your Off the mark ramble.
It's simply a matter of Definition/Venue.
The evidence we have for Evo WOULD be Proof in other venues/disciplines, it's just that in science and math proof means 100.000%.
Meanwhile, men get the Death Penalty and are "Proved" "Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt" On LESSER Evidence every day.
Evo has a much better/more extensive case/evidence than all those convictions.
While 90%, 95%, 99% is good enough to Execute a man in court but it's not/NEVER "proven 100%."
But using the math/science standard the only thing that can be "Proven" 100% is numerical abstracts: ie, 2 + 2 IS 4.
That's the reason.
You just ramble on endlessly throwing in Sci terms but you Never get the gist of a debate, just ramble/philosophize to nowhere.
