I see alot of people say they don't accept evolution because it doesn't account for everything. Didn't these people have parents that warned them about people who had an answer for everything?

Evolution to me, is better explained as the obsevation of the many lifeforms on this planet adapting to the various climates/conditions here on earth.
Many people are dogmatic and even cruel to those that do not share their beliefs. I think that creationists and evolutionists both have the right to have their opinions.

It would be different if Science, in general, stated it had the answer to everything. I have not once heard nor read Science did. Science is supposed to be Study... trying to find the answers... I'm surprised at how many who try to make it seem Evolution loses any credibility because the word "theory" is used with it so often. Gravity also is used with that word often... why does that not make Gravity lose credibility? If we suddenly don't believe Gravity exists anymore, does that mean we will float off of the earth?
I'll admit, I'm not interested enough in Science to learn all the finer details of Evolution. As far as Science goes, I'm more interested in how the brain functions *wink* But it just never ceases to amaze me how quickly people are willing to toss something aside because they feel threatened by it in some way. That can be the only explanation... the whole "Fight or Flight", which in this case it seems they are doing both. Fighting it off with a dismissal and then running from it all together.

There is revelation and there is observation. Science deals with the latter. Science are theories that explains facts. Evolution is a scientific theory that explains fact. As theory are unlikely to change, the theory becomes law, but in truth it is only a theory. Science presents "observed knowledge".
What about revelation? God reveals and man observes. There are no observation to be made by the scientific method. Everything is a statement about what God wants to revealed. There is no information from the revelation that could be used as a part of the scientific method. The bible has no scientific facts.
It is believed or not.
Answer: God reveals, man observes. Sadly, science does not have all answer, but man is still trying to observe them.

There are still gaps in the theory and they're tougher to explain than the gaps in evolution.
Evolution is a sound because it took a set of observations and created a hypothesis to explain them. The hypothesis predicted unknown findings that would serve as a test. That testing made it a theory.

A missing animal in the fossil record disproves nothing, but an animal in the wrong place, like a duck in the Pleistocene WOULD disprove evolution. That fossil, completely out-of-place has NEVER been found. So, I agree with your assertion.

There were less answers to things 100 years ago than there are now; less answer still 1000 years ago than 100 years ago. Not having all the answers doesn't prove or disprove anything.

Creationists don't accept evolution because they're stuck under the "evolution is random chance" assumption, and have no idea of what natural selection is.

Science isn't debunked by the lack of every answer; rather it is driven to find them.

Let's see them hold up GOD THEORY to the same standards they demand we hold Evolution up to. What a joke.
GOD THEORY - The accumulated myths and superstitions of your ancestors which have been dogmatized, institutionalized and then mounded into the colossal pile of crap they call ultimate truth.

Science does not have the answer to every thing. Religion does not have the answer to any thing. Franco
