You would have to say all physical laws are accidental. You would have to disregard the Laws of Thermaldynamics; the Information Theory would have to be incorrect; biogenesis would be incorrectly supplanted by abiogenesis. So, how can evolution still be true when science disproves it?

Zero Cool, I appreciate your response please provide for me then the information regarding these successful experiments you are claiming to be true.

Life Rocks, Please show me where my cut and paste took place. Incorrect assumptions like that are why many mistakes are made.

Truckercub,
You could ask the same thing, but there is much more evidence to substantiate religious theory than evolutionary theory.

SF49ers,
When was the last time you picked up a Bible? Maybe then you would read about behemoths and leviathans.

*sigh* The information theory is not violated, nor is the second law violated. The second law ONLY applies in the case of an isolated system which Earth is NOT.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution#Entropy_and_life
Abiogenesis HAS been tested in a lab setting. Over a period of two weeks, completely NON-living matter EVOLVED into many necessary building blocks for living matter. Non-living to pre-life... given much much MUCH more time life emerges from the necessary components. Wikipedia can describe the test for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis#Primordial_Soup

WHY would you have to say that all physical laws are accidental? I'm honestly stumped as to why you'd even propose this as a problem.
Evolution is true because it is theory (SCIENTIFIC theory) and fact. It has been proven despite the efforts of folks like you to invalidate it by throwing red herrings all over the place.

Evolution did not determine the physical laws. Dumb question.
There are enough posts on Y!A pointing out the "thermodynamic law" fallacies. They apply to closed systems. If Earth were a closed system (did not receive massive solar energy), complex life would not be possible.
Information theory is fully compatible will evolution (see below).
Abiogenesis was disproven in small volumes (liters) on a short timescale (weeks). It was never proven impossible. There is evidence that it happened once (life on Earth with a near-universal genetic code).
Cut and paste rhetoric is no match for facts.

You make an elementary error in equating "not supported" with "disproves" and so to answer your question I have to split it into two parts:
A Your disproofs
- The laws of thermodynamics are not violated. This is simply rubbish
- Information Theory is not violated.
- Neither biogenesis nor abiogenesis have anything to do with evolution.
B How can it be true if not supported.
Please toss a coin and DO NOT LOOK AT IT. Now the statement "the coin is heads up" is not supported scientifically. But it COULD be true.
The statement "the coin is tails up" is not supported scentifically. But if COULD be true.
In fact NEITHER statement is scientifically supported but at least one of them MUST be true. Therefore a statement can be true despite there being no scientific support.

Evolution DOESN'T violate any laws. this is a common misconception used by people who argue against evolution. Go back, and read the laws you are talking about, and notice the words "closed system" in them. then think about if the earth is a closed system.
There has been somewhat successful studies done on abiogenesis (thank you for distinguishing between that and evolution, many don't).
so basically, science doesn't disprove evolution, it supports it.

Gosh, that's profound! How could all the greatest scientists of the world have MISSED the fact that science disproves evolution?? They need to pay closer attention!

Well the bible doesnt say anything about the dinosaurs or anything like that. So time started when the bible was created? How can u explain the fossils?

The theory of evolution is like a house of cards. If the "assumed" geologic ages are disproved-evolution will die immediately. And, remember- I said "assumed". If more people understood this one thing-there would be a lot less evolutionist in this world. The fact that most people are not aware of this is the only thing that keeps evolution on life support.

the same way education cant produce anyone to try to find reasons for questions then let that lead them to the answer and how you think you might get the answer to that question on yahoo answers from someone like you and
i believ that if you dont want to change your self and you dont understand evolution then its not in you

You can ask the same question about the religious theory

Your ignorance of what you speak is appalling. Read a book on the subject, get some basic comprehension of it and ask another question.
