The Haggard tragedy

[DeviousB]

It's also worth reading the linked to review of Climbing Mount Improbable by Jonathan Sarfati.

But true (operational) science involves repeatable, observable experimentation in the present, which includes physics, chemistry, experimental biology and geology, etc.

But presumeably not astronomy, cosmology, paleontology, climatology, or any of the many other fields of science where you can't actually do experiments.

Apparantly making testable predictions isn't 'true' science (as practised by 'true scotsmen' no doubt). Perhaps Stephen Hawkins is a prophet then?

Depressingly, this is about as sharp as it gets; the quality of the arguments go rapidly downhill from there.
