A question about evolution.?

Question

How come even the most zealous scientists call evolution a theory? How come they can't come up with hard evidence to call it a fact? How come they can't find any transitional animals from one species to another? The truth is that the Bible is correct. Each kind of animal reproduces it's own kind. Cats give birth to cats, dogs give birth to dogs, and termites give birth to termites. Evolution is a theory that Atheist are trying to promote so they won't have to accept the belief in God.

Evolution is a dead issue, it doesn't exist. Agree?

Answer 1

You make a lot of assertations with absolutely no knowledge of what you're talking about.

"How come even the most zealous scientists call evolution a theory?"
This goes to show that you don't know the meaning of the word theory as defined in technical terms. From the American Heritage Dictionary: the·o·ry (th-r, thîr)
n. pl. the·o·ries

1. A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.

In scientific terms, hypothesis means "guess"; theory is the accepted conclusion based on testing and evidence.

"How come they can't find any transitional animals from one species to another?" Well, the fact is, there have been HUNDREDS of transitional fossils found, the most commonly cited is the Archaeopteryx. However, due to the amazing creativity of the Creation Scientists, a game of semantics and denial causes doubt to be thrown onto their veracity. Facts are facts...they exist. Here's a link to dispel a common falacy that "macro-evolution" hasn't occured: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/

"The truth is that the Bible is correct." Actually, the truth is, you BELIEVE the bible to be correct. This, nor any of the "proof" that creationists choose to espouse (or the ignorance of the followers who claim "I don't understand evolution, so there's no way it can be true") has any basis in the scientific method. Furthermore, belief doesn't equal truth; if you believe you can jump from a 30 story building and God will protect you, will you be able to land safely?

"The truth is that the Bible is correct. Each kind of animal reproduces it's own kind. Cats give birth to cats, dogs give birth to dogs, and termites give birth to termites." You're right to a point. On the scale that a human being can witness in a natural lifetime, yes, all beings reproduce the same being. When you look at mutation, speciation, and adaptation over the course of millenia, you will see that new species have arisen from the old.

"Evolution is a theory that Atheist are trying to promote so they won't have to accept the belief in God." You really don't have a clue, do you? Evolution is not an "atheistic" theory. While it is true that atheists hold evolution as fact (based on scientific evidence), there are many people of faith who do this as well. Hundreds of god worshipers have taken the facts of evolution, and incorporated them into the myth of the bible. Not all of those who have a god belief are as capable of ignoring what we have seen evidence of (in the case of the Galapogos finches) within the last 100 years.

"Evolution is a dead issue, it doesn't exist. Agree?" No. You just want it to be so, and in a fundamentalist temper tantrum, have chosen to publicly put your fingers in your ears and start singing "LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU". I'm sorry that your mind is so closed to the possiblity of the truth, that you stunt yourself intellectually, as well as spiritually. It is possible to maintain your faith, and accept certain of your tales as allegory written by men who didn't have the scientific advances to explain it. I don't hold with this, but I do have respect for those who at least try...

Answer 2

Well my friend, I'm a little of both sides here.There is never any "hard" evidence in science when I comes to evolution. Remember, we are only living through a spec of the Earth's history. Your not going to see evolution happen right before your eyes. And there is transitional evidence everywhere....for example: Whale's have pelvises implying that they were once land dwellers that had legs. They probably weren't as immense at the time, but the gene is still there to grow a bone that they don't need. We have evidence that birds are the ancestors of dinosaurs according to bone structure. But you still have the question: What force is making this all happen the way that it is? We can find all the evidence,whether physical or scientific theory, but we will never fully understand what makes everything exist. If for those of you whom think the Big Bang made everything that exists......explain to the rest of us where this ball of matter came from in the first place? Or maybe what made everything just so perfect that Earth can be an inhabitable planet throughout its chaotic history and changes? You can never deny that there is more going on here then anyone can comprehend.

Answer 3

Actually most scientists support Evolution as a fact. Evolution is a fact because we have found an ambundance of fossil records and the history of bones tell us how humans and other animals have mutated through millions of years. Science calls Evolution a "theory" because they are still overgoing new obsticles and hypothesis. The evidence of Evolutionary theory is %100 more accurate then any Christian Bible will ever be. Try this. Why does it say that the Earth is the center of the Universe? When in fact the sun is. Why doesn't the Bible mention anything about Dinosaurs? As an x-christian why don't you try reading more information about Evolution before you knock it and acknowledge your closed-mindedness about the Bible. Ever heard of something called reading? Oh wait I think reading anything other then the Bible is banned by Christians.

Answer 4

Evolution is only a theory, but it is a theory that is grounded in a great deal of factual evidence that justifies its validity. It has nothing to do with wanting to disprove religion because that can never be done nor does science have any care to do so. Go ahead and believe in your God if it makes you feel better about yourself and sleep well at night. Religion has been denouncing science since the days of Copernicus and observations of celestial bodies leading mankind to correctly deduce that the Earth revolves around the sun and not the other way around. Science has never tried to disprove religion.

It is religion that denounces science for uncovering faults in its dogma. Science never had care to bring down religion, only to uncover truth. Don't worry though, science will never be able to disprove the existence of God. Unfortunately for all of you though, not being able to disprove something does not prove its existence. Keep on believing, that is fine, but to say that science is based on anything except fact is incorrect. It is religion that has the market cornered on accepting truths without fact.

Answer 5

It is called a theory, because it is not proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. There is extensive evidence, including transitional forms, making it quite sure. Scientists will continue to test and examine the evidence.

"Scientific" Creationism is a political doctrine espoused by those opposed to thought. Evolution is alive and well. You're on the way out.

Answer 6

Actually, evolution is fact. The theory part is how it happens. Very similar to the theory of gravity. And just the fact that TB has changed to become immune to our treatments is proof that gene pools do change over time (evolution). As far as new species, that takes tens of thousands of years, so we will never be able to directly observe it. And there is many, many transitional fossils. You should have learned all this in school.

Answer 7

a million) in accordance to evolutionists, human beings progressed from apes? human beings are apes by employing definition. Linnaeus categorised us as such and he grow to be a creationist. 2) there are a number of shown data in technology, yet evolution is only a concept. fake by way of a pretend impact of the observe concept. A fact, in technology, is a discrete factor to innovations. Theories connect data and clarify them. there's no greater type than concept. 3) A transitional form is a fossil of an animal that's an element one species and section yet another. fake. All organisms are transitional. 4) The age of the earth is set by employing scientists entirely during the radioactive dating of fossils ? The age of the Earth grow to be desperate by employing dating a meteor on the thought the photograph voltaic gadget grow to be each and all of the comparable age. All different calculations in high quality condition the age got here upon. 5) The scientific technique starts off with a prediction and then looks for evidence to help that prediction? It starts off with remark. Then a hypothesis is formed from that remark. After the hypothesis is formed, scientists seem for evidence to help or falsify the hypothesis. 6) the belief of evolution incorporates the super Bang? fake. 7) To have self belief in evolution is to have self belief that existence and count got here from no longer something? fake.

Answer 8

You really need to go back to science class. A fact is an observation of a natural event. A theory is used to explain why the fact happened.

You also need to divorce yourself from the reasoning that science and religion are incompatible. Science explains natural events and religion is for the spirit.

Answer 9

"Given the vicissitudes of fossilization, there is no reason to expect a sequence of fossils showing continuous modification of any characteristic we choose, even if that characteristic was continuously modified. Paleontologists think themselves lucky to be able to trace the continuous emergence of some characteristics." (Kitcher, Philip, Abusing Science, 1998 p. 110.) Here Kitcher offers up excuses for the pattern of gradual change, being absent.

Qouted. Published words, to the effect of, we don't need the evidence, we can assume it from other examples. Although, the other examples may be misrepresentative. Go to New York or back woods Kentucky, and you will find LIVING examples of what is declared a step up to our present state.

Answer 10

1. there's a biology section.
2). because it is, it explains many things.
3). their is hard evidence of the fact of evolution, you seem to misunderstand the definition of theory.
4). there are literally millions of transitional species out there, just open your eyes and look.
5). disagree, you don't seem to know anything about evolution, so you really are not in a position to judge it.
