Please just let this thread die. There is no proof of evolution, Just theories. Like the Big Bang Theory which there is no evidence of. |
Oh see this happens to be an area I'm very well versed in and you're just flat wrong here. I don't want to derail the thread but I'm certainly not going to let this go unchallenged so allow me to refer you to topics of interest in regards to observable evidence for BBT.
Cosmic Background Radiation, Universal Expansion (as demonstrated by Hubble's Law), and a whole host of predictions about quasars and star clusters of varying sizes which have subsequently been backed up by literally thousands of astronomic observations.
Those are the ones I actually understand to a decent degree, a quick perusal indicates that other forms of observational evidence I'm not familiar with include observational evidence regarding the abundance of light elements (ie primeordial elements) and the fact that nearly half a dozen methods for estimating the age of the universe agree with the BBT timeline.
With that said BBT has openly acknowledge aspects which have yet to be explained. Probably the most prominent is the Horizon Problem...but I've already gone on to long. I'll just conclude by saying BBT has extremely strong obersvational evidence at the moment and even with all of that there are things we don't know, as someone else pointed out earlier we still don't have a full grasp on gravity and in fact the standard model currently used essentially ignores gravity and pretty much appends it in as an "oh and this". Developing theories place gravity in a more central role and we now have very strong mathematical evidence for the gravity particle that most have probably heard dubbed as the "graviton". So whats the point of pointing this out? Just because we don't completely and fully understand a process and how it works doesn't mean we must distrust it, let alone completey dismiss it.
We don't understand how gravity works but thanks to observational data we have a rough idea and are refining it as we speak. We don't understand the specifics of BBT or the causal event (if any) behind it, but observational data tells us we have at the very least a good idea of what happened with only the details to be ironed out (and the devil is in the details). But with evolution we do understand the specifics and we do have a metric ton of observational data and of the 3 is easily far and away the most rigorously proven.....so if you don't want to believe in evolution you should probably stop believing in gravity as well.
PS - If you want to do your own experiment for observable evidence of BBT you can tune an older TV away from a recieving channel and the static you witness is partly made up of CMB radiation.
