For the sake of argument, assume that all the theories contained by evolution are false. What now?  [[User:PerpetualAngst|PerpetualAngst]] 17:36, 25 Jun 2007 (PDT)

:Your hypo is too theoretical to be useful.  Nobody's arguing that it ''is'' "totally false."  Evolution contains a lot of theories that are obviously true.  Variation and natural selection is demonstrable and obvious.  If ''every theory contained by evolution were false,'' we'd have to reexamine everything we know about life.  But nobody's arguing that "everything contained by evolution is false."  Creationists are arguing that some of the things are true, some things are false, and some things are unfalsifiable.  "Evolution" is too broad a label.  We need to be more precise in our analysis.  The key question to me is, "What if ''common ancestry'' is false?"  [[User:Ungtss|Ungtss]] 20:55, 25 June 2007 (EDT)
