      Where do you see belief in what I explained? I’m genuinely curious.

      It can’t be the observations as you can make them for yourself, and you cannot find a model that fits the data better with less assumptions as it already fits the data perfectly and has no assumption beyond “organisms make copy of themselves with mutations”

      Then what is it?

        Why do you believe that?

          It is just a logical statement. A theory must maximize data fitting and minimize assumption. You cannot beat a theory that fits all the data with only one assumption.

          Sadly we are not having a debate as I’m giving arguments and you are not willing to criticize them on a core level. I hope other people find this one sided conversation useful.

            I’m calling you on your fallacy that there is no belief whatsoever in believing in a scientific theory as the correct explanation for data.
