"The lab cloak clerics and you materialistic worshippers would like to call the conclusions made during the scientific process, 'established facts' ... " No, they don't. You are making that up. There is a huge difference between 'settled science' and 'established facts'. Stuff that is considered 'settled science' is generally accepted and takes extraordinary proof to overturn. Now, as new discoveries are made, sometimes stuff that is settled starts to be questioned. And that can result in a settled issue to move to a less certain status. For example, Newtonian physics starts to break down at the extremes of size or velocity. So by the time Einstein did his work, it wasn't considered to be settled science any more. Evolution is far from that state. "Facts are absolutes and do not change, which only exist in the ideological sense and are not materialistically testable." Sigh. Look, you want to argue epistemology, go ahead and knock yourself out. I don't get into tail chasing. And that is what all of those arguments about fake cows and barns eventually boils down to.
