Can science disprove evolution?

Question

I've been shown countless accounts of lies being taught in schools, and blatant misrepresentations of biology and carbon dating. But does anyone believe that science can completely turn evolution into a busted myth?

Answer 1

Science is a method for making sense of the world. If it's a lie, it's not science, although there certainly is "bad science", where the methods are not correctly appled. To be correctly applied means to consider all the data, and to fit the explanations into the coherent scientific picture of how the world works.

It is possible that a subtile god created the Earth a short time ago (maybe 5 minutes ago, maybe 5000 years ago) and put in place all the clues that imply that evolution took place over hundreds of millions of years. The scientific method would never detect this deception, because the scientific method requires consistency and rejects supernatural phenomena.

Answer 2

There are two major problems I see with evolution as it is taught to our children today.
1.There isn't enough time for the small rodent like mammals left after the last extinguishing event to bring them to the size and variety of the mammals the roamed the earth during the last major ice age. Such a process would take millions of years not just a few hundred thousand. This is a major contradiction with this theory.
2. Viruses have been known to man for approximately the last 200 years. During that time there have been billions of generations, yet never has a virus jumped species. Yes the have varied but they remain viruses.. In billions of generation this hasn't happened but in less than a million generations a rat can become a mammoth? This is science? Jim

Answer 3

Can science prove anything about the creation or evolution of our universe? Inorder to prove anything you must have evadence, other wise it's just a THEORY, which is what most people forget. Evolution and the Big Bang are just THEORIES. They have never been proven the same as creation, it's a matter of faith. Do you believe that we came from nothingness or do you believe that we were created with a purpose by a loveing Lord and savior. Regardless of what you believe, we cannot prove either way with our limited intelagence. All we can do is belive what choose to believe in and find out when we die if we were correct in our choice.

Answer 4

Nothing is worse than lively lack of know-how. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "When I was once a youngster I spoke as a youngster I understood as a youngster I suggestion as a youngster; but if I grew to be a person I placed away infantile matters." I Cor. xiii. eleven. Are you no longer correctly a youngster? Have you no longer bought an schooling or maybe been residence schooled? Perhaps you have been indoctrinated into and extremist sect? The Pope, Catholic Church, Church of England and mainstream church buildings all be given the significant bang and evolution! Lord Carey the previous Archbishop of Canterbury placed it alternatively good – “Creationism is the fruit of a fundamentalist system to scripture, ignoring scholarship and crucial studying, and complicated special understandings of fact”! Nice that christians and atheists can agree and chortle in combination despite the fact that it's at fundie cost! But at the back of the laughter is the depression on the fundamentalists striving so tough to spoil christianity through turning it from a faith to an ideology! Surveys advocate that 29% of American christians are so extremist of their ideals that they fall good external of the authorised bounds of christianity!

Answer 5

No, but it can certainly disprove it. Think about the Bible's account of the flood. Did you know that science correlates more closely with a global flood than a big bang? It would explain many formations, such as the Grand Canyon (because we all know that the Colorado River wasn't 2 miles wide to carve such a canyon), sea salt in high mountain elevations, layers in the earth's crust (think about sediment in a river or lake), and the mass extinctions of many animals, like the dinosaurs, which could have been brought in their smaller forms on the ark (like lizards).

Answer 6

Of COURSE! Science's best quality is that it is changing all the time. Evolution could be disproved easily. All it would take would be a rabbit fossil right next to (and contemporaneious with) a T-Rex fossil. That would blow the timeline right out of the water.

Answer 7

Evolution is not something to be proved or disproved. It is a scientific theory and as such it will change and improve as more evidence is found and other evidence discarded.

Theists are so used to just having one book for everything, that cannot be wrong and will never change, that they have to categorize everything outside that frame of reference the same way.

Answer 8

Science LIVES to "disprove" itself! ... "Overthrow theory" is a more appropriate phrase. ... Think Galileo over Ptolemy, Einstein over Newton, etc. ... Evolution, too.

Whomever could overthrow the ToE would become the next Einstein as it's enormously well suppoted by 175 years of rock-solid evidence. ... What "lies", "misrepresentations..."?

Answer 9

No. Go ask leeky it never has and never will. i guess he and Darwin can have card game over that And oh by the way why havent they documented who saw the first dinosaur and named it? They documented the trees dating back to dinosaur ages with so called carbon dating who would think they missed that?

Answer 10

It has been thoroughly studied for over a hundred years by thousands of scientists, and today is one of the most respected, best supported theories in all of science, right up there with atomic theory. So, not likely! By the way, do you believe in atoms, since their existence is "only a theory"??
