There's way to much evidence to not believe in it, not doing so is only because you refuse to do it yourself.

The topic is poorly worded. Evolution is not a question of belief. It is the best current understanding that the best minds of humanity have about the matter. Evidence from multiple different fields converge to back it up. Sure, you can choose to *ignore* it, just like you can ignore the theory of sexual reproduction and instead go with the stork that brings babies to people.
Of course we don't have all the information and some things we might never learn, but that doesn't undermine the wealth of evidence we have already gathered. If you took a month long trip somewhere, but couldn't prove to me what you did on day 4 and 5 of the trip, that doesn't mean the whole trip is somehow in question all of a sudden.



Yes.

I feel if you acknowledge genes are passed on through generations, and that certain environments favour certain genes, then you believe in evolution whether you want to admit it or not.

I mean any domestic breed of dog is literally proof of concept.



Not with certainty. Honestly I see it as a stepping stone towards a greater truth. But I feel as though it itself is not the definitive answer



Evolution is not a belief like gravity is not a belief. It is a fact.
So, your question doesn't make much sense to me.

What we see is an array of distinct "kinds" of plants and animals with many varieties within each kind, but with very clear and -- apparently -- unbridgeable gaps between the kinds. That is, for example, there are many varieties of dogs and many varieties of cats, but no "dats" or "cogs." Such variation is often called microevolution, and these minor horizontal (or downward) changes occur fairly often, but such changes are not true "vertical" evolution.

You must understand that the the ideals of Darwinism, natural selection and evolution can only exist apart from faith in God and the Holy Scriptures. The Bible reveals that God lovingly created mankind in His own very image, as the object of God's redeeming unconditional love, Who sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to die on the cross for our sins. Evolution is atheistic in nature. All of history's most ruthless mass-murdering dictators were atheists. Without God men can only become monsters.

Darwinism is the Satanic Ideal Behind Abortion



I thought you were joking at first, but I suppose you are not(?)

So, Hitler was not a ruthless mass-murdering dictator when you say all were atheist?

Wait, he's not sarcastic?

 

Oh my...

Gravity is still technically a theory, we know it exists as we see and feel it's actions, it just scientists don't fully understand it yet.

Bacteria developed a new way to process energy due to spontanious change/mutation. Proof that evolution exists in controlled environments. Obviously we can't witness such a change in most obvious species due to time scale.



Hmm, pie.

How did I miss this thread?



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

There is no believing in the scientific method. The scientific method is based on logic and proven laws of nature. It's true whether you believe it or not.

So yes, I do employ logical thinking.
