scientists are using faith and ignorance themselves when they decide that a phenomena MUST be a natural instance that they don't know about yet.
That's what evolution is basically...

No, we actually know quite a bit about evolution.
But science never says that there is no other possible explanation - it says that this one is the best explanation we have. Untestable claims are almost never the best explanation available, simply because they don't really explain anything - they simply substitute an unsolvable mystery for a solvable one. Science sticks with natural explanations because an "unnatural" one is next to useless in terms of predictive power.
Britt,
Having produced an incoherent sentence as an explanation of what evolution is, you have demonstrated you know shit about evolution and science. I suggest you move over to "The Debasing Realm" where your abilities are better suited.
Okay so...science must be a natural phenomenon, that we don't know about yet...So, if we don't know about it yet, what exactly are we making science? Ow...there it is, the heebeejeebee migraine.
Actually, I think you might have misrepresented the pot-kettle phrase. As far as I'd heard it used, the implication is that the pot is accusing the kettle of a characteristic they share. Religion calling science a matter of "faith and ignorance" is more like projection.
Science has been continually knocking down the supernatural nonsense since the day they got rid of the God dragging the sun across the sky (your shit, still in print)
We (mostly) all know that the Earth spins and goes around the Sun in a Year. That's what science is basically, reality.
Well, yeah. If I see a flag flying away from the flagpole, my first thought is "It's windy", not "goddidit". Whenever you say "goddidit", what you really mean is "I give up, I don't know the answer".
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
