Why do people say that evolution can't be proven?

Question

I have read that evolution cannot be proven then go on to say that God exists and made all of this in 6 days.

Circular arguments seem to surround this topic. By their logic God cannot exist because it cannot be proven.

Yet I have proposed that God can be proven with science so the debate over scientific discoveries are more and more proving the existence of God.

Since science=search for truth and God=truth, science finds God everytime with it's discoveries and has been doing so for thousands of years.

Nes Pas?

Answer 1

Evolution has actually been tested and proven already, so your question is a little late.

The only questions that remain about evolution is not whether it occurs, but HOW and what the temporal patterns are.

anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is simply uneducated and giving an answer based on superstition, not science.



Oh, and god can't be proven or disproven. It's not a falsifiable idea, so it can't be tested. No hypothetical piece of evidence couldn't be explained about AFTER THE FACT. That's why religion is not science.


I loved the lies in response to the question, though. They crack me up. People here must have taken the science classes that use coloring books instead of textbooks.

Answer 2

"Why do people say that evolution can't be proven?"
It would be prophetic if I were to say that Evolution couldn't be proven.

I don't think that's what most (if you will) Anti-Evolutionists are saying. I think that what they are saying is that there's no proof.

"Circular arguments seem to surround this topic. By their logic God cannot exist because it cannot be proven."
The belief in God is not a science. It's a faith. What I try to get Evolutionists to see, is that their belief is also a faith.

"Yet I have proposed that God can be proven with science so the debate over scientific discoveries are more and more proving the existence of God."
That would be an interesting thing to see. If your proof holds true, then there should be all facts, and science would have to accept it. I know that some scientists are Christian anyway. But many are not.

"Since science=search for truth and God=truth, science finds God everytime with it's discoveries and has been doing so for thousands of years."
I think that yourt definition of science goes beyond the normal parameter. Rather I would say that true science is a search for fact. Truth would extend that parameter beyond the more confining connotation of fact.

I'm just saying that many would disagree with you. I encourage you to unfold these facts. If they are found wanting, you seem honest enough to admit the flaws, and perhaps go back to the drawing board.

God be with you.

Answer 3

So is your question about evolution or God; probably both.

You can say science finds proof on God and evolution everytime; however they also find proof that discredits those proofs and find proofs that show they don't exsist everytime.

The real truth is science and history has been fighting these issues throughout time. So one side will show something and then within about a week later the other side will find something totally else and ussually within a couple months the proofs on both sides are discredited.

I believe in God, not in evolution. I do follow science, however even if science eventually proves my beliefs false I will not change them. It's not because I'm not open-minded. It's because my proof it will probably take science 200 years to disprove at least.

Answer 4

Evolution is a science. Religion is not. In order for something to be scientific, it must be able to be proven false. By the scientific method, in order to explain a phenomenon (evolution or creation) many experiments or research must be done before the idea/hypothesis becomes a theory. It cannot be proven true, but can have a portion, according to the experiment done on it, to be proven unfalse. Religion cannot be proven false. Therefore it is not a science, and is an element of its own. Evolution does not equal truth nor false. Religion equals whatever you want it to equal, but is a completely different category.

Answer 5

I would love to hear more about how the God can be proven. That is a new one for me. The vast majority of scientists are on the side of evolution. The argument of what is true science is argued extensively by many philosophers and scientists. When you get down to it, most people will respect the evidence that conforms with their beliefs and very few will actually look at the big picture and make an open minded decision about what they believe. Your best bet is to thoroughly research both sides and choose what makes the most sense to you. There will always be a divide between those who wish to believe and those who wish to understand. It sounds like you wish to believe, but at least you are still asking.

Answer 6

to say what can and can not be is far past the point of the purpose that god was created,i say created because if you look around us today in the world people are willing to spill blood over religion , so if we agree that in this day in time the world has many crazy and dangerous cultures and people then it is logical to think a thousand years ago the crazes where here then too' so in order to control the weak of mind what better tool at hand than the fear of a god,and to produce a book with a code of ethics for every day life for everyone to fallow to keep the peace and have a over all tranquility and order, think about how in the years around 1400 1500 how many documentations by explorers saying the tribal people all thought their guns where sticks that could kill them, the explorers must then be gods,and today just what do you think would happen to our world if it was discovered that our god was not real, you got it a world out of control, rape /murder/ robbery/ would be at a very very high rate, think what you will but the reality of it is shocking to think about.

Answer 7

Because Religious Zealots still cling to a book written by Goat Herders and it's nonsensical teachings.

GOD is a figment of your imagination.... just ask the Easter Bunny, while Evolution is a Science. If you can't tell the difference, then I would say your IQ is that of a 5 year old. So, let me speak to you on your own level:

Hiiiiii little boy/girl what's your name????????/ Or that's nice. No... no.... Religion is based on "Faith" while Science is based on "Facts" .......... that's right........ now go play with your tinker toys and don't bother the adults dear............. Thank you.... I'll get you a Popsicle later 8-)

Answer 8

Life is very complex. It is impossible for such complex mechanisms to develop by chance. Let me tell you a true story. There was a well known jewish rabbi on an el al airplane returning to the holy land. On board were several of his grandchildren. It happened that he was sitting next to a man he knew as a young man who was a secular atheist socialist israeli. They were in the same kibbutz as youngsters. Concidentally this man had a few of his grandchildren on the plane also. The rabbis grandchildren came up to him and asked about his welfare, if he needed a blanket, if he was comfortable and so on. His former israeli friends grandchildren ignorted him. Finally he asked the rabbi why his grandchildren were concerned about his welfare and how he wished his grandchildren thought that way. The rabbi answered that his grandchildren thought he was closer to the generation of adam when god created the world than they were and deserving of respect. On the other hand the secular jews grandchildren didnt respect their grandfather because they believed in evolution and thought that their grandfather was closer to being a monkey than they were and they were more developed on the evolutionary chain.

Answer 9

Your theory is flawed. The statement "god=Truth" is based on your belief, and cannot be used in any scientific discussion. To simply declare god truth lacks logic and reason; no matter how much you believe it, it doesn't make it true.

Physical evidence is essential in proving 'truth' and there is not a shred of evidence that even supports the theory of 'god'. Evolution is also unproven, but at LEAST its plausible, the idea of 'god' is comparable to a child's fairy tale.

Answer 10

You cannot prove either using scientific methods. What we use to refute the evolution hoax are legal means. By that I mean we lay out the evidence and see which way the scale tilts. And right now, the evidence is heavy in favor of God and creation.
