The Orbit of Pluto

The major problems creationists like have - besides raw ignorance and dishonesty, is that they simply lack the capacity for abstract thought.

They often argue - "well if you ain't seen it and you can't repeat it in a lab then it ain't science". Which is a profoundly ignorant argument and the orbit of Pluto illuminates the ignorance involved.

Importantly, Pluto has an orbit of 100+ years, yet it was only discovered 80+ years ago - so "no one has seen it perform an orbit!" Why aren't creationists complaining that the orbit of Pluto is faith?

Obviously that would be an ignorant claim because we can model gravity with math and Pluto's orbit matches our model of gravity perfectly.

Evolution is proven daily the same way. There are evolutionary mathematical models and all DNA of every creature all over the world always fits the evolutionary model - this is also used for paternity tests.

And thus, denying evolution is also denying paternity tests which is exactly as ignorant as saying Pluto doesn't orbit the sun or that the Earth is flat.
