@NEETzsche @Godcast @SuperLutheran @UnityOstara @jeffcliff Does Darwinian evolution claim to be predictive, then? Like it can tell us what dogs or ferrets will look like the next time they evolve? If not, is it really much use to anyone other than as a cheap replacement for (some kinds of) religion? As for replicability, it seems that scientists like to play fast and loose with concepts such as adaptation or mutation, which is quite a bit short of some common ancestor of monkeys (but not all of them, for some reason) turning into humans (a tired example, but for a reason).
