LIVING "FOSSIL" GLIDING REPTILES

THE IMPORTANCE OF EMPIRICAL SCIENCE IS THAT IT'S THE ONLY METHOD THAT DEPENDS ON "OBSERVATION AND EXPERIMENTATION" TO VERIFY OR FALSIFY ANY THEORY OR HYPOTHESIS IN AN OBJECTIVE MANNER. METAPHYSICAL WORLD VIEWS OF ORIGINS, LIKE MACRO-EVOLUTION & SPECIAL CREATION, ARE DEFINED AS "HIGHLY ABSTRACT AND THEORETICAL." AS THEY RELATE TO METAPHYSICS THEY ARE AN "A PRIORI SPECULATION UPON QUESTIONS THAT ARE UNANSWERABLE TO SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATION, ANALYSIS, OR EXPERIMENT." THIS BEING TRUE OF ORIGINS, BOTH OF THESE WORLD VIEWS DO PREDICT OBSERVATIONS THAT CAN BE VERIFIED OR FALSIFIED BY THE EMPIRICAL SCIENTIFIC METHOD. GENETICS AND THE FOSSIL RECORD ARE JUST A COUPLE AS YOU CAN SEE ABOVE. Return to Contents
