If you don't believe in evolutionary theory?

Question

Do you not believe in music theory either?
The dictionary definition of the word "theory" in this case is
"A formal statement of rules on which the subject studied is based"
It does not meant that it is an idea or guesswork

Answer 1

THANK YOU!!! Someone who freakin' gets the fact that the word "theory" has several different meanings.

The funniest thing i've ever seen I think was on Penn & Teller's Bullsh*t on creationism where the creationist guy said that evolution wasn't proven fact and that it was just a "theory"..... and later he went on to explain the "theory" of creationism. Wait..... Did you just say that evolution can't be believed because it's just a "theory" but then you said creationism is a theory???? Whoa whoa whoa......... I think i missed something in the translation.

I will post links to the videos if i can find them again.

Answer 2

So you're saying the theory is fact and you have evidence of this? Perhaps you have a dvd of the big bang from nothingness? Unfortunately, the big bang is indeed an idea or guesswork, i.e., a theory. I'm truly sorry you think there is some hard evidence of this theory, but unfortunately, unless you have that dvd, science has not yet procurred that much desired evidence.

Answer 3

I think here you are establishing the definition of the word 'theory' as it is used in relation to evolution. There are many 'theories' then as they relate to life. The big problem I have with calling evolution a fact is the problem of DNA synthesis. When we can manufacture DNA from its base components I will believe evolution is factual. Until then, it is unproven. Yes there is strong evidence to support evolution but that same evidence can be interpreted otherwise. The word 'theory' then to me means 'a belief'. I have a different belief based on the evidence.

I love music too but I do not assume that my guitar spontaneously appeared on this planet. My guitar was manufactured by a guitar maker. I have never met or even seen the one who actually made my guitar. Do you suppose I should believe that it was not made but rather evolved from a ukelele? And then from what do you suppose ukeleles evolved from?

Answer 4

Isn't a theory an idea I dreamed up after a night of ethylic delirium ?

Answer 5

Darwin did not get all the picture of the Evolutional process.
It is why they are neo-darwinism... As for me, I do think that the theory of Symbiogenesis is pretty solid and back with more evidences than Darwin simple observations.

As for the "others" don't waste your energy, they are trained Paranoiacs that will think everything against their view is a ploy from Satan to win over them... Pathetic to say the least..

Answer 6

Evolution is for stupid human beings .... clarify. stupid because of the fact they do no longer want to correctly known the observe of God of their existence ok, i'm going to.... shall we see whitch of the two,000,000 gods could i pick? there is not any way you may have faith the Bible and evolution. No however the bible has no data. yet you assert, "what approximately 'theistic evolution' the place God created each and every thing after which allowed it to conform? ... I didnt say that. i'm happy you asked. there is not any such coaching got here across interior the Bible. I didnt ask... Genesis financial disaster one is quite sparkling that God created this earth as all of us comprehend it on the instant in 6 days. Harry Potter, financial disaster 4 is quite sparkling that there is a prepare that can take you to a wizard practise college. "IF" there grow to be a pre-Adamic introduction, it grow to be destroyed in accordance to Genesis one million:2. I is in simple terms no longer dogmatic to whether or no longer there grow to be a pre-Adamic term, however the Bible is properly dogmatic that all and sundry existence in this earth on the instant grow to be created interior the six days of introduction ok, if the final responce wasnt sufficient how is this? coach the bible is actual. The Bible is quite precise in this is chronology. Oh yeah? examples please. The Bible dates itself from introduction up until eventually the top of the previous testomony. ... Are you asserting that the bible is self proving? The Bible dates introduction at approximately 4,000 B.C. what does that rely. . this means that all and sundry existence on earth on the instant grow to be created approximately 6,000 years in the past! there grow to be no evolutionary technique! coach that the bible is actual and you have your self a valid argument. there grow to be no evolutionary technique! ----------.----------------------------... there is not any longer something to teach the assumption of evolution Gravity is basically a thought.

Answer 7

This passive aggressive question is fail.

Music is something that humans created themselves. There's no question about that so there is no question about it's formal rules and origins.

Humans did not create life or the universe and we are therefore still learning about it. There is no definite.

The theory of evolution can be argued because we don't have any real proof that the world and every thing in it wasn't created last Thursday and all the history and fossils we see around us weren't just a clever ploy from Satan.

Try using a semi-reasonable comparison next time.

Answer 8

First of all, I know that when it comes to the "Theory" of evolution, everyone has their own statement. However, that is not a reason to call Christians, Jews, Muslim's, etc., "Idiots, fools, etc."

I have mentioned this....oh...about 10 times. I ascribe to the evolutionary theory, but only as it pertains to "within the species" evolution.
Just to iterate one more time; "Within the species" evolution is that evolution such as grey moths to white moths, to speckled moths, or Homo habilis to Homo-Sapiens. This would put the first man at 2 million years ago, and since then we have evolved from cave dwellers to home builders, from spear throwers to missile launchers and space explorers. Who knows, our next evolutionary step might be from Homo-sapiens to Homo-Astri (Star-Man).

The theory of Evolution that I don't ascribe to, is the Theory that we evolved from apes to man. Even though Apes resemble us, and can use basic tools, they don't have the brain capacity to use our tools, or even have a language. If apes were anything like us, nobody would be able to catch or shoot one.

I hope this sets straight my thoughts on this and helps someone else who is confused.

Answer 9

LOL Good question, I wish I had thought of it first. I wonder if any fundies watch the discovery channel, or let their children watch. It seems most of the programs that involve animals, heavenly bodies or scientific research don't mention any contributions by a "god" of any kind. Instead they all support this "theory" of evolution and carbon dating that says the earth and moon are several million years old. LOL

Answer 10

It depends on the type of evolutionary theory. I do believe in evolution within a species because this is documented and can be tested. I do not believe in evolution across species because that does not make sense and can not be documented. Likewise I believe can follow the evolution of music but will not believe that through the evolution of painting we achieved music.
