It's totally disputable.
Quantum Physics alone can dispute evolution.

Evolution is very well understood and completely consistent with every shred of empirical evidence.

Or you know, just a theory. Like that theory that germs make you sick.

Before I get into it, you'll have to take off that disgraceful cloak of "empirical"...

You didn't build the tests, statistics, and operate machinery that revealed anything empirical.

We're operating off of what others tell us. This begins to diminish that wall of absolutes people like to toss up in an argument.

Let me guess: your Baptist preacher told you that, right?

And the fact that you have to get a flu shot every year proves that quantum physics doesn't dispute evolution.

Umm, no I'm not going to do that, because the data is empirical. I'm not going to water down my argument to make it as foolish as yours.

Ok so the new rule of science disputes is that you can only cite whatever experiments you have personally done. I'll be sure to inform everyone that the concept of citation and peer review is dead. Everyone has to prove every fact they want to rely on personally.

What a ridiculous notion on how to argue.

It is utterly ridiculous on how he is telling us to argue. Pretty much he says unless you personally have done it and experimented, then you don't know. I guess I've never experimented with plate techtonics to where I can't prove those exist either from this clown's definition.

We have many posters with personal experience in it and they still get argued with

You must have missed the memo.

Provided in further detail in aformentioned memo.

This includes medical treatment. Apparently physicians must run their own study to prescribe medications or treatments.

"I cannot prescribe this medication for your condition despite extensive research showing the the most promising results in history. According to IceTiger (tigerdroppings.com, 2016; only valid citation allowed), it is malfeasance because that is invalid without studying it myself."

But this YouTube video told me Quantum Physics disputes evolution.

I wonder how much of Quantum Physics have you personally proven IceTiger?

Is this something to be concerned about?
