    Nope, Evolution is 100% fact in reality.

    And as I have explained to you., Evolution is 100% fact. What may change is the human understanding of how and why it happends, not that it will or wont happen.


    You would do well to see the errors in your thinking.

    See, willfully ignorant. I had just explained to you what is the difference between fact and theory and you still aren't bothered to learn.

    If you mean Im not buying it, then you are correct.

    Evolution is nothing but theory. Science is looking for evidence to support this theory. And in the meantime Science uses their language to call it a fact. Then they can tell others its a fact, though its a theory.

    No, its not. Its science 'fact' making it theory.

    The only reason the 'how' or 'why' it happens, will be all that science changes concerning evolution, is because they already believe it and refuse any evidence to the contrary. As you have just proved.

    Because it is both.

    It's a fact because it is observed. Those observations are known as facts.

    The theory explains the facts.

    An observation is an interpretation that will be subject to the scientist's view of evolution.

    As I said, evolution is a theory for which science is looking for evidence. They already believe a theory.

    Evolution is a theory.

    They already have evidence. It's not like they're sitting there hoping that one day they will have evidence to support it.

    They have evidence, they believe, for their theory.

    Indeed, they already believe it. Thats the problem.

    No, willfully ignorant. The evidence for evolution is so easy to understand that there are very few choices as to why someone doesn't accept it.

    For this to be true, Quantrill, the one who you say have faith in science would have to accept everything that has passed in science. He would have to accept that the earth is flat and that the earth is spherical. He would have to accept both Lamarckian and Darwinian evolution.

    This is of course not so. When science is wrong, it means that new evidence has brought new understandings of natural phenomena. If faith were involved in science then we'd reject evidence. But we don't. Our understanding moves with it, not regardless of it.

    Those who do reject evidence do it because it conflicts with their faith, not in science but in areas where faith actually applies. This alone shows that faith does not apply to science. In fact, not a single person on this earth rejects more evidence than is necessary to maintain his faith.

    Yes.. Science is NOT fearful of NEW INFORMATION.

    That’s because Evolution is 100% fact that it does indeed happen.

    Denying Evolution is like denying that the Earth is spherical and orbits around the Sun.

    All you have proved is that you are ignorant of a scientific theory.

    The is an over abundance of evidence for Evolution.

    It is not our problem you refuse to look at the evidence.

    Exactly. As Stephen Jay Gould said, they are non-overlapping magisteria, meaning they are concerned with different things.

    Well the Creationists come up with all these goofy scenarios and claims to prove that the earth is 6,000 years old.. They are inventions that are NOT in scripture.

    Meanwhile scientists just keep on trucking and revising their ideas as hard evidence appears.

    If the Creationists were confident.. it would be a different game.

    Creationists are so insecure that they keep denying science.. as if God wanted mankind to stay stuck in 4000 year old technology.

    At its worse.. Creationists reject the brain and curiosity that God gave man.

    How long do you think it would take for a Polar bear to Evolve into a Spectacled bear ?

    As is your theory that the entire Bible is Gods word.

    Theory is the wrong word because there is no evidence and you need evidence for something to be a theory.

    As is your "hypothesis" that the entire Bible is Gods word.

    Oh look, it's the king of the willfully ignorant. Are you still claiming that you're a biology lecturer at university?

    It doesn't strike you as odd that he offers no explanation as to why there is evidence present on the Earth he created that suggests that the Bible can't be taken literally?

    Yes, which is why fossils are rare.

    Fossils are irrelevant to the fact and theory of evolution. They are mere icing on the factual cake. If they didn't exist, evolution would still stand.
