[QUOTE="jaelis, post: 7628765, member: 60210"] [LEFT][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana] Hmm. Currently, there is no fossil evidence between a flightless, mouselike mammal and the flying proto-bat that it evolved into. The theory of evolution predicts that intermediate forms existed. If a paleontologist finds a fossil of a flying-squirrel-like animal in a geological layer in between that of the mouse and that of the bat, it would confirm the predictions of theory. Are they using math? Are they not a scientist? If an entomologist makes a field study in New Guinea and catalogs a new insect species that had not previously been discovered, are they using math? Are they not a scientist? Going back a ways, when Count Rumford was boring cannons in Bavaria, he noticed that when the boring blade was dull, there was no observable limit to the amount of heat that could be produced, and he realized that was impossible to explain with the caloric theory of heat. Was he using math? Was he doing science?[/font][/color][/left] [/QUOTE]
