But it wasn't design to be such kind of argument I was just wonder of your level of acknowledgement with the subject. Because everyone with wide education, or who claims to know about evolution theory know about this Popper's article and his statement that "Darwinism is not a testable scientific theory, but a metaphysical research program. There are jokes about that among biologists. You can find it even in Wikipedia you know Yet you failed the test. Afterward I just make fun of you - sorry about that. But you are so arrogant and ignorant that I couldn't stand the temptation
About his denial - once again, he proved flaw in evolution theory and even if he deny his opinion afterward nor he or no one else were unable to deny his argumentation. Because it was valid. Like I said before, even if you deny that the earth is round in fear to be accused in heresy earth is still round so the Popper's argumentation.
But enough about him, there are lot's of other criticism and you can find it yourself, without my help - read Kuhn, for example, post-structuralists or French postmodernists. And learn Christianity deep before criticize it. Atheism is not so great you know, I can surely say you that as ex-one. There is a critical danger in deconstruction of moral imperative of this religion. Think about it.
Read this articles by Orwell (he was atheist, don't be afraid and his prophets become true in most ), I already mentioned them by they worth it:

Get off your high horse...

Originally posted by Norton View PostWell, my real motive was to make fun of squealpiggy This wasn't serious discussion (on my side at least) as you would expect from any anonymous Internet discussion. But still main Popper's point wasn't disapproved by squealpiggy Funny thing, I think I could have done such disapproval, but this is my opponent's job

If your goal was to prove that I haven't memorized every single thing written by every person ever then well done, mission accomplished.
