Evolution or Creationism? **With a poll :P**

[QUOTE="Guybrush_3"]

Your perception of science is off. You seem to think that things in science can be proven like they are in math. It doesnt work like that.

Yes I answered that already. You just missed it.

A theory is simply something that has not yet been disproved

That is a hypothesis. actually that is less than a hypothesis. because following that definition a theory doesnt even have to fall within the bounds of science. "God did it" is a perfectly legitimate theory by your definition. As I said earlier your perception of science is off.

[QUOTE="Guybrush_3"]he wants absolute proof that evolution is true. foxhound_fox

The evidence in support of evolution is as close to absolute as something can get in science. The fact that evolution is so well observed and documented... to deny it would nearly be like denying 2 + 2 = 4.

"but that is just micro evolution"

People will deny it to hell and back.

A theory has been tested repeatedly but has not been disproved.

"God did it" is not a valid theory because it has not been tested repeatedly, it is simply an assumption.

neither are factual your reply implies that you are saying creationism is factual

The theory of evolution is based on facts, every single fact ever observed relating to evolution supports it. and it is a fact that evolution has happened.

no it uses eviedence to support it in science nothing is ever a fact

Even so, do you have any proof that evolution is false?zakkro

Then what makes you so sure that it will be refuted? Is it just because you don't like it?

i said that before, i know understand that you were just tryting to explain that his knowledge of the scientific method was slightly incorrect, i apologise for my reply earlier you just seemed pro creationist

replaced OR expanded upon.

Whether you believe in evolution or not, the human race has evolved in a sense. Not by turning into some superior creature, but by technology. Look around us? We have cars, computers, phones, internet... If we went back in time and showed people the things we have now, it would be like magic to them.Superironic

In terms of technology, we have advance more in the past 200 years than we did in all of human history before it. We have reinvented the wheel and then some.

To all the people who said they haven't seen evolution happen. it takes place over millions of years so it would be impossible for anyone to see it happen.supermike6

not true. Evolution has been observed. for the most part it takes a long time though.

I pick the one that has proper, verifiable evidence to back it up.

I made the universe and everything inside it and every law. I know this, because I say so.

Although society has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevicably human. Ergo, vis a vis, some of you will comprehend the concept of a creator and some of you will not. While concordently your first question may seem the most pertinent, you will also realize it is the most irrelevant.

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"][QUOTE="6_volts"]An intelligent designer created life, and then evolution occurred.mattpunkgd

Nobody said we evolved from monkeys. We share a common ancestor with the other primates, including monkeys, that's all.

[QUOTE="mattpunkgd"][QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]
Evolution does not exist. There are absolutely no evidence to suggest that any animal evolved into another. If there were, we would see transitional forms between the different stages.

If God created man in His image, then how would it even be possible for us to evolve from monkeys?ithilgore2006

Is Creationism the one where they think they can prove the world started 6000 years ago? If so, then not that one.clembo1990

That is Young Earth Creationism, yes.

I know that evolution is real because there is more evidence in favor of such an important theory in the field of biology than I could ever possibly know or list. I don't have to display blind faith, go to a Church of Evolution or pray to Charles Darwin every night, because evolution isn't a religion--it's scientific fact. Once a new theory comes along that provides a different explanation for the variation of life, while also proving that every single shred of evidence ever surfaced in favor of evolution is wrong, then I'll believe in said theory. As for the time being, however, it is illogical to even question evolution's authenticity without having strong scientific research & evidence to back up your claims; as of now, that has yet to happen.

Why I don't believe in creationism? Because it promotes irrational, blind faith while denying any aspect of life that contradicts the foundation it's religion is built upon. The only reason that Young Earth Creationists oppose evolution, for the most part, is because they all share a literal depiction of the story of Adam & Eve within the Bible.

Watch whole video.

Evolution: Plenty of evidence that supports a theory that hasn't been disproven. We're not saying it's fact, just the best way to explain things at the moment.

Religion: Uh, we're right because evolution is uh...not fact. Oh, and you can't disprove religion! Our evidence is...blind faith, BUT I KNOW HE EXISTS BECAUSE THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO!

Creationism is definitely true. Look at the pile of evidence it has to support it:

:shock:..:lol: To deny evolution would be more like denying 1 + 0 + 0 = 100.Revinh
