@farmerman,
Quote:I assume then, that you have nothing to do with the sciences. Especially biological research. (DISCARDING, even a theory unpopular to you, without considering the interlacing of the various disciplines and the facts underlying their evidence, is more an act of vandalism than a carefully considered scientific conclusion).
Any theory found good for nothing is discarded, like the theory of Le Verrier with the hypothetical planet Vulcan.
The same as well, the hypothetical gradual favorable changes from worse to better from simpler to more complex, and from inferior to superior, theorized in the theory of evolution is discarded.
The "re-invented" theory of evolution from the 70's, called "the Neo-Darwinian" theory of evolution, which "discards 99% of the former theory of evolution" in order to be replaced by a new attempt, which is solely "change", is also discarded, because the observations reveal "a change with an arrow", and that this arrow is degenerate steps.
So, you have a good for nothing theory of evolution because can't explain the real process of life on earth.
Now well, the observation is a RECYCLING PROCESS OF LIFE ON EARTH.
This fact is no in need of explanation.
If you ignored this concept in science, well, I will explain it to you. Facts do not need of explanation, facts are facts.
You can ask about the mechanism of the process, and here is when a theory might originates from the fact.
So far, the observation stands and I have noticed that you have no argument against it, because you can't argue against a fact.
And, for your mental book, the one you storage in your head, lets define a "theory of science".
I say, "theory of science" as a whole concept to be defined, because the meaning of the word "theory" in general might be different when subjected to the different branches of knowledge others than science.
A theory of science, is an attempt to explain a certain class of phenomena by deducing them as a consequence of other phenomena observed as more primitive and factual.(and by such, no in need of explanation)
This is to say, you can't create a theory based in something that doesn't exist physically. A theory of science must be based solely in facts.
Any other is nothing but hypothesis.
THE RECYCLING PROCESS OF LIFE ON EARTH is a fact.
Now, if you don't think so, I urge you to apply all your knowledge in biology to discard THE RECYCLING PROCESS OF LIFE ON EARTH fact.
Be my guess.
