Definition FAIL

Original Comment:
Philosophers and ancient thinkers deduced that the earth orbited around the sun based on observations long before the tools existed to prove heliocentrism. Like those early thinkers, Darwin deduced through observation and those that came after modified and expounded the theory to what it is today.

Congrats Sport, you just figured out how science works!

Sport's Reply:
I don't think real science should be about "deduction," especially when there is no evidence from which to deduce (think Darwin), but instead by experimental/observational evidence.

Ummm...you mean the deductions made by having experimental and observational evidence like FOSSILS...ummm...DNA....ummm...ALL OF BIOLOGY?!

Those kinds of deductions? Sill panda. That's what science is! Deducing based on evidence! Just because you don't believe the evidence doesn't mean it's not there. lol
