Okay, I think I see what you're saying ßelals Girl Send a noteboard - 08/08/2011 05:30:43 PM
You're saying that, even though we can make predictions about how beneficial a trait is and study the results, there's no way to prove that our results were due to Natural Selection and not, say, the Invisible Nature Pixie or something like that? Because, regardless of the results, they can be explained by both hypotheses and therefore, no results could ever show that either of those hypotheses were wrong?

I'm not sure I understand you - 06/08/2011 08:20:44 PM 827 Views
All tautologies are truisms, but not all truisms are tautologies. - 06/08/2011 09:38:12 PM 850 Views
Then it is still a tautology - 06/08/2011 09:45:33 PM 860 Views
