The only think I'm debating is that as of yet science doesn't have all the answers. These guys think I'm arguing against evolution. Interesting spin.....LJS9502_basic

Hell, I'm an atheist and even I can see there are flaws in the theory of evolution.. which is why it's still just a theory. But seeing how far we have come in the last twenty years (scientifically wise), it will be interesting to see if it's still just a theory in twenty more years.

[QUOTE="ayanami_rei"]Wrong. Evolution is a scientific theory. Not a fact of yet. Just like intelligent design -- creationism -- is a theory. Account_27

 

Evolution is considered scientific fact and i laugh in your face for thinking creationism is scientific.

Did he ever say creationism was scientific? No. He just said it was a theory.

She said "Evolution is a scientific theory" "Just like ID"

So, yes she did.

And I gave you whales. >.> Though the lack of fish and reptiles (unless I overlooked them in one of my links) doesn't disprove the theory of evolution...you understand this, yes, I know. Though, IGCSE textbooks show them as a common ancestor and not one transitory to the other...CptJSparrow

I was referring to man and ??what came before.  No one has produced any.

LJS9502_basic

Dozens of fossils have been presented to you in all links. 

Fish, mammal, reptiles, and humans.  What more do you want?

Yeah, but theory was in italics, so therefore, I read it as if she was implying creationism is a theory.

How is it fact? Where is the proof?jfkunrendered
Biology and geology. To challenge evolution is to say that things have always been the same and in this regard it is plain to see that those who oppose evolution are wrong.

That's out of context....I was responding to someone's post in which that comment was accurate.  However, read the start of what I said....I mentioned the difficulty science is having with man's last ancestor...which you've acknowledged.  So....what's the misunderstanding?

This is because educational understanding as to what constitutes a professional term such as scientific theory and a laymen term of theory is not really limited to belief. It's just that people who believe are far more likely to misunderstand it due to conflicts with mysticism.

Theories for instance don't graduate to facts. Gravity is both a theory and a fact. Gravity exists, but the exact nature of how gravity works ascribes to theories that grow with increasing precision. Newton to Einstein for instance.

Likewise Evolution is a fact. The theory will simply get more precise and has over time. ie. Lamarck to Darwin.

Evolution is not the opposite of religion...but there are a few missing holes in the current theory.LJS9502_basic

That's what I initially said.....but I never disputed evolution.  Nothing wrong with questioning science...it's what pushes it for research.:)

[QUOTE="SAURON221"][QUOTE="Decessus"]

[QUOTE="SAURON221"]no its not it is still a theory not a fact-Karayan-

Evolution: The change in allele frequency of a population over time.

It is a fact that evolution happens.

No I am stating that it is not prooven with out a doubt that man evolved from a lower species.

That's not what differentiates theories from facts.

Scientific theories can be practically 100% sure to be true.

 

 

Yes, and they can also be 100% false too. So you can't argue that the yare true whe nyou don't know that.

I can't believe a thread like this got so large.  No proof was even given.  Typical I guess.  If Hawking said it, it must be true.

Yes, it is. I mean, the Bible is at least not open to interpretation. The Bible is exactly whatever the Church says. You cannot draw a meaning from the original meaning that is what the Bible intended that the Church does not say exists. I mean, you can, but then that's definitely not how the Bible is supposed to be taken.

No, saying that the flaws in Evolution are "holes" is just such an understatement, seeing that everything was just a coincidence.

The individual churches say many different things about the bible and it becomes even more differential amongst individuals. How can we know what the original interpretation was intended four thousand years ago?

There really isn't any hole in creationism.  Mainly because it's the deus ex machina of theories to explain the origins of life.  =\

Maybe it should have a disclaimer in the beginning of the bible.

The initial misunderstanding is that you said "where man came directly from," and I took it to mean the most recent ancestor and not the transistor between apes and the A. genus.

The New Testament means whatever the Vatican says it does. The Vatican made it. The other denominations and therefore other interpretations came later and are not valid because they did not exist at the time of authorship.

I consider it that way. Even if John, Luke, Paul and Mathew were the original writers, well, then the material had to go through some rather rigrous editing.

The New Testament means whatever the Vatican says it does. The Vatican made it. The other denominations and therefore other interpretations came later and are not valid because they did not exist at the time of authorship.

The New Testament has nothing to do with creationism....:|

I consider it that way. Even if John, Luke, Paul and Mathew were the original writers, well, then the material had to go through some rather rigrous editing.

What editing?  You have no proof that the Bible was edited by the Vatican.

It's not supposed to be taken literaly.

Yes, it is. I mean, the Bible is at least not open to interpretation. The Bible is exactly whatever the Church says. You cannot draw a meaning from the original meaning that is what the Bible intended that the Church does not say exists. I mean, you can, but then that's definitely not how the Bible is supposed to be taken.

You would most definitely be wrong.....the message is important not the minutia.

Maybe it should have a disclaimer in the beginning of the bible.

"Take this crap light hearted."

Like this?

That label makes me want to read it.

Like hell I don't. There are numerous scripts that didn't make the cut. They were picky about what got in and therefore I see no reason why they shouldn't've made the stuff that did make it a little more to standards.

I agree, though they don't...and you still have the Old Testament.

I'm a little off topic....You said the Bible is open to interpretation and so I objected. For the purpose of more convenient argument, I used the new Testament, since with that it's easier to argue my case.
