Creative Evolution

He claims that ‘evolutionary biology is a product of repeated testing and refinement’.

Would Professor Montgomery care to enlighten readers as to how he has performed a repeatable test on molecules becoming living cells?

Perhaps he could point us to the literature on where he observed a population of ape-like creatures evolve into humans in the laboratory. The reason why he cannot is because evolutionary theory describes unrepeatable events occurring in the past, which are, by definition, not subject to scientific methodology.

To pretend otherwise is disingenuous.

It follows that neither his evolutionary views, nor my creationist views, are capable of analysis by scientific methodology, but at least I have the satisfaction of observing that the data better fits with my pre-supposition.
