If you think evolution is magic you don't understand it and should stop speaking. You know that saying about removing the doubt of one being a fool?

Creationism isn't a theory so it cannot be refuted.
It is a personal opinion unsupported by anything other than a personal opinion.
The theory of evolution can be refuted if evidence is produced to refute it. At the current time, no such evidence exists.
That's why evolution is science and creationism is nonsense.

Evolution is a scientific theory. In science, the word "theory" carries more weight and significance than in does when used in other non-scientific contexts. A scientific theory is considered the best known explanation for a set of events. So, in science, the word theory is close to being synonomous with the word fact, because it is considering the BEST explanation, not just one of many. Evolution is considered by science to be the best explanation for the emergence and divergence of all the various species of life on earth. Science doesn't entertain multiple theories for the same set of events; it sticks with one theory at a time for each set of events, unless and until a better theory is put forth that does a better job of explaining the events.

No, its less refutable than creationism because there is more evidence for it plus it makes more sense logically. And don't refer to evolution as magic, it makes you sound like you're from the dark ages or something.

Do you even know what the word "refutable" means?
You are asking if evolution is as questionable as creationism........indicating you believe creationism to be questionable.

There is no magic involved in evolution, it is based on scientific facts and backed up by fossil and bone evidence. The fairy tale is the creationism. It is a story made up to explain evolution to a very uneducated mass of people.

Once again people mistake a theory for scientific fact. Evolutionists, I'm sorry to inform you, but the reason that your Evolution Theory is still theory, is because there is not enough scientific evidence to make it a fact. Until it is, you shouldn't be mean to Creationists because they would rather believe that they are made in the image of God rather than a being that slowly evolved out of the sludge over millions of years and has ancestrial ties to monkeys. After all they are both theories and I personally would rather be made in the image of a God than be a distant cousin to a monkey.

There is no magic in evolution, only science. I know to some people, science is pretty scary and looks like magic but trust me, it isn't.
Believing in a lie like creationism is easily cured with reading, study and education. That's what turns the "magic" of evolution into science.
See how that works?

I don't see evolution as any sort of magic (I should know, I'm a witch). Less adaptable things die, more adaptable things reproduce, it's common sense. No magic involved.

There is no magic to evolution it is a theory based on the preponderance of the evidence scientists have discovered
