no, thats just it, 12th. in the context of science, i work within proven fact, exclusively - that is what science is about. evolution doesnt explain the beginning of life, thats not what its about at all.

That's exactly what I disagree with you on. Science has very much to do with the unknown. That's what scientists do. Are there many successful scientist who lack curiosity? I don't want to simply give kids a set of facts to memorize. Give them something to think about. When my kids were in advanced math classes, they didn't just do extra math. They had creative projects and puzzles that had little resemblance to math. Learning by rote is not how they got 790 and 800 out of 800 on the SAT.

no, its not fact just because i say so. not at all. irreducible complexity, is it possible? sure, but can it be tested and proven? no.

Perhaps it can be either proved or disproved. To dismiss it is a mistake. Arguments against it generally consist of "it could have happened this way" and other types of "maybe" generalizing. Now that's sad. Dismissing conjecture with conjecture. Why not leave the question open? It's no different than contemplating what the bottom of the ocean or outer space is like. You'll never know without a big dose of curiosity... and an open mind.
