Hi again CTD
It’s just about bed time for me so I’ve only got a few minutes to comment on one of your posts to this thread.
1) New theory? What new theory? 1) I would suggest this is a restatement of a well established scientific theory called the modern syntheses of the theory of evolution. 2) theory is the correct term for the best scientific explanation we have for a given phenomenon. 4) As you come to understand what ToE says you’ll realize that no time machine is required. Try to work with us here to come to an understanding of what ToE actually says rather than the corrupted, vacuous straw men that you will come across at so many creationist web sites. If you can do that we may make some progress here. At least you will hopefully be able to move beyond the I failed evolution 101 complaints into some that show serious understanding of what it is you are dissing. That would be far more interesting. 6) there’s a long list of potential falsifications that can be envisaged for ToE. I’ve already given you some, we can discuss more as we go on here if that would help. 7) 500 years ago there was just one species of humans that I am aware of. Several others existed within the last 100000 years but all had died out by 1500 years. At least one lasted till around 30000 years ago but that is the most recent I can think of off the top of my head. I agree that the definition of species given was not well enough worded. My comments above will hopefully clarify what ToE actually says on this point.
