wow, hold on a minute. re: all the other posts.
trilobyte, you wrote: "Do tell us how it confirms evolutionism."
Regarding the semantics of the word ?confirmed?
Yes, you are right; I think it is scientifically self-righteous to claim a theory is ever ?confirmed.? It would be more appropriate to say a particular theory is ?supported? by a particular finding (discovery, observation, or result). A finding gives more support to, or lends more credence to a theory. When a finding ?confirms? a prediction made by a theory, then that theory is given more weight (it?s more useful as a tool).
A scientist is human too; and will often overstate the case.
For instance, observing that clocks slow down when we shoot them up in rockets, confirms a prediction of Einstein?s relativity theory, but it can?t be said to confirm the theory as fact. But everyone runs around saying it proves relativity. It only confirms the theory is still valid (it works), not that the theory is true.
