why I deleted that liberal farce, gobbeldy gook and generally confusing nonsense
== Evolution example ==
== Evolution example ==
The section on the evolution example is hopelessly confused, and duplicated in [[Theory and fact]]. Both ought to be deleted. It makes sweeping statements about "all scientists" and "opponents of Evolution", none of which are supported. Some of it is nonsensical. It concludes "This is an unfair way to win a debate", but there is citation to anyone actually trying to win a debate that way, or to the supposed misunderstandings. I considered trying to improve it, but I think that it is hopeless. The stuff just does not belong. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 23:34, 30 August 2007 (EDT)

==Gravity example==
Deleted:
:The set of observations and mathematical formulae that explain how this force works, and the experiments which demonstrate that those observations and formulae are correct is called the Theory of Gravity.
No one has ever explained how the force of gravity works. We merely '''observe''' that gravitational force is proportional to an object's mass. Why this is so, and how it works is another story: a story yet to be told.
Formulas do not explain how something works. They merely predict the workings. For example, you can drive a car, knowing that the controls to operate it are reliable. But you need not understand the concepts of [[internal combustion]] or [[centripetal force]] to get a driver's license. You don't even have to know the basic formulas about [[momentum]], [[inertia]] and [[force]]. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 12:26, 18 March 2008 (EDT)
