Science is a Theory.
No, science is a methodology.
It survives on what it assumes to be a fact.
Science makes very few assumptions and those are on the order of "the universe exists", "we exist", and "we can know things". Aside from that, it's built on observations and previous knowledge.
HOWEVER; just like a good story there are different ways to make it to an an ending.
No, there's only one way to do science and that's by using the scientific method. Just because creationists start with their conclusion and work backwards doesn't that mean science does it that way.
what happened to tadpoles?
Where did this random change of topic come from? But to answer: tadpoles usually die, get eaten, or metamorphose into frogs.
If science in any form cannot come up with a plausible idea they cannot get funding
Right, and for good reason. We don't want our tax dollars going into Bigfoot hunts or UFO camping trips. If we had unlimited resources and manpower, I'd say "sure, research everything including the extremely unlikely", but alas, we don't have that so I'd rather put funding into projects that are likely to expand our knowledge and/or give us practical applications.
Like all theories there are some factual basis then anything past this is imagination or should I say Darwinisms
English motherfucker, do you speak it?
