the problem is that history can not be proven. science deals with the now. right now we have fossils and bones. what does this mean? that somthing lived and died not that they evolved over millions of years. if the biologists knew anything about astronomy they would realize that the earth is slowing down (hence the leap second) and if somthing is slowing down that means it used to be going faster. and if you do the math on this billions of years ago the earth was going so fast that day and night were one and nothing could stand on its surface.
lets think for ourselves and not let the government or our textbooks tell us what to beleive
galleleo along with almost every other inventor would have never made there discoverys had it not been for there mistrust of textbooks.

>> If you trully believe in science and not GOD, why hasn't anything evolved in 10,000yrs?
Sorry, what?

>> show me some form of bacteria (or whatever) that will turn into a fish, grow legs and arms,turn into a furry monkey, make fire, straighten out its spine to walk upright, and talk to me.
Give me a few million years - I'll do just that. Something you don't understand - evolution requires many MANY generations to work. You don't get it after one, or two, or even three - you need hundreds of thousands of generations for it to work, along with selection pressure, and ecological niches for speciation.
>> If Darwyn was right then you really are monkies and it explains why you've spread aid/hiv throughtout the world?!
What? We're not monkeys - we share a common ancestor that was neither us, nor monkey, but probably shared some of our characteristics. What that has to do with AIDS, I have no idea.
>> Some of you are just dumb and want to say something for the hell of it.
I'm the one who's dumb? You're the one demanding evidence of evolution that takes millions of years to develop. Were the fossils not good enough for you?
>> Bacteria can be found all over the earth, why not distant planets?
Because most planets are too cold or too hot, that's why.
>> If life formed for us in that way then there must be aliens?!
Very high probability. But don't worry - they're so far away, we'll never meet them.
>> If you can't believe that then there is no such thing as evolution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell that to the millions (and I mean millions) of scientists that do their work based on that very principle - the same people who bring you flu shots because the virus "evolves" every year, and those who bring you stronger medications because bacteria develop an immunity to overused drugs / anti-bacterial soaps.

Science proves evolution to the extent that to deny the evidence is to misunderstand what evolution is (a very common problem) or to actively overlook the evidence in favor or another belief. These are the same people who call it "just a theory" when they don't know what a theory is. It's not a hunch or a guess. It's a well-reaserched hypothesis that passes muster to become a theory. Gravity is also a theory. Geology, Biology, and other related sciences all point to change in species over time, which is the gist of evolution.

We need to know the level of biological education you've attained. From the question it's hard to tell if any answers would make sense to you. For example, there's ample evidence of evolution occurring much less recently then your 10,000 years.
Your assertions re what's happening on other planets seems incoherent - unless of course you've managed to spend some quality time in those far away places. By the way, there is no scientific position that states that aliens cannot exist. We're not that arrogant or self-centered. Religions can pose that kind of idle speculation as a "fact," or that the earth was the center of the universe, or that the sun went around the earth, etc., without any evidence at all - until they're proved wrong.

Science has never proven evolution. It can't. Science has never proven gravity. It can't. Science has never proven thermodynamics. It can't.
Science works by DISPROOF, not PROOF.
Alright... let's do a little experiment. I'm holding a bag of marbles. It's a black opaque bag so you can't look into it -- I won't let you, nor will the universe. However, I'll let you pull out one marble at a time, but then you have to put it back in before pulling out the next.
I ask you, "Guess what color these marbles are." Having never seen any of them, you make the uneducated guess, "Red."
I let you pull one out then put it back. It's red. Your hand feels about 100 marbles in the bag, maybe more, maybe less, but about that.
Does that one marble prove that all 100 are red? How about if you drew twice? How about three times? Five? Ten? Fifty? 100? 10000?
You'd be pretty confident by 10000 that indeed, all are red. And statistically, you would be "confident in the disproof of the null-hypothesis to the 0.01 significance level." This is EXTREMELY 'certain'.
So what happens when on that 10,001 draw, you get a blue marble? Were you wrong to say that you were highly confident that it was all red marbles? So I ask you to restate your hypothesis (because now you're basing it on research, it's not JUST a guess). you say, "Most of the marbles are red, but one or more, but still very few, are blue." How could you disprove this? Draw a yellow one would work, or suddenly drawing 9999 more blues would seem to establish that the ratio is about 50/50 red/blue.
What happens when by the 10,000,000 you find a ratio that one in 10,000 is blue, even though there are only 100 marbles, give or take? Then you know something REALLY weird is going on; either one of them is changing colors or there's something strange about the bag itself.
Science is the refinement of knowledge by the removal of that which is not true, it is not the attainment of knowledge of that which IS true.

It's already been proven, the question is when will people believe that evolution has/is occuring? It sounds like you want everything right now and here. I am a person of God, but I do believe in evolution, Gods time scale is much bigger than what we can handle since our lives are so short. When you say there is no such thing as evolution, don't you see things evolving daily just slow down and watch. That includes you as you grow and learn. Remember, we are not bodies that become souls, we were souls first that inhabited bodies.

Things have evolved in 10,000 years. The TB bacteria has evolved several times. It has evolved to become immune to previous treatments, which is why there are new treatments developed.
You don't really understand evolution. bacteria doesn't evolve into fish. It takes many many millions of years, with many transitional fossils. for example a dolphin has legs. Then over the next million years, those legs slowly get smaller until they are just small fins, then eventually those fins are gone. Then there is just a small bone where the legs used to be. This is actually a documented thing. Then given another million years, the dolphins might develop gills and not breath air anymore. But one population of dolphins might evolve differently. The whole process takes billions of years for the abundance of species we see today. Luckily for us, there has been billions of years.
All the science points to evolution. There is no science that suggests otherwise.

Um bacteria has been found in space for starters! There is proof of evolotion its just some choose not to accept it as it debunks their beliefs. And how can we know what will evolve into what, no-one can see that far into the future!
So are you saying there are no Christians who dont believe in evolution that have AIDS/HIV? Plus if atheists are monkeys then Christians must be too, as we are all the same!
And a lot of people do believe in aliens, whose to say theres nothing out there, the universe is too huge to comprehend.
You might want to come up with a real argument instead of throwing a lot of jibberish around and expect to make a point!

evolution will never prove to be scientific. there is this national geographic that were talking about evolution, and you know how they say it takes millions of years for anything to really happen; anyways, then it said that there ,ust have been a world wide flood. they were trying to prove evolutions points, yet they said what we already know to be true. another disproof of evolution is that they have found a fossil w/ a human foot print along side a foot print of an animal that should have been exstinct before human were on the earth. another proof: there where these scientists who took a volcanic rock that they knew to be 50 years old. they tried so many different ways to test the age of the rock all over the world by different scientist. the "age" of the rock ranged from millions to billions of years old when the rock only was 50 years old. that shows how we can't trust the evolutionist dating methods when they are so out of wack! there are so mnay othe proofs that show that evolution is wrong. it takes more faith to believe in evolution than to believe in a God who created earth!

Is this suppose to be an argument against evolution? Cause I have to say, it ain't working.
I believe in evolution. I sure as hell don't think we're alone in this universe, and there are probably thousands of distant planets.
So do I qualify to believe in evolution? Or am I still missing something like a whack over the head with your so called holy book.
Stop being so ignorant. All most everyone I know who believes in evolution, believes all those other things. My own Catholic father believes them...So go away back to the drawing board and come up with a better argument, or leave us alone.

Already been done, observed both in nature and in the lab. Your straw man version of evolution does not exist: At no time has any biologist ever claimed that a species magically appears from another one in a generation or less. Changes take pleace over long incriments of time, not single or even a dozen generations.
Who is the stupid one: The one who relies on emperical evidence and the scientific process, or the one who takes the literal word of a book written by desert nomads who believed the world was flat and that rabbits chewed cud?
