How many users on these boards actually support "The Theory of Evolution"?

Evolution is a philosophy because scientific method can never be applied to it. We have no way of researching it, because we have no way of reproducing the moments in which life was created on Earth. If it is a fact then scientist would not still call it a theory.

Statistically speaking it is very improbable that random chance gave rise to order (not to mention it is against the PROVEN Laws of Science).
Darwin said that if it could be proven that life forms did not become more complicated over a series of successive improvements, then his theory would be proven wrong.

Micheal Denton an atheist wrote a book called evolution: a theory in Crisis, He spent the first part of the book ripping religion. And then went on to make his case-

And he is not alone in those beliefs other scientist believe the same.

I am not anti- science but I am Anti- Dogma and the theory of Evo. is sometimes just that.

I believe in Micro but not Macro.

The rest is more in line with Intelligent Design because Intelligent Design is more inline with the ACTUAL LAWS of SCIENCE.

But this is a free country and I do not mean to step on anothers beliefs, we are free to worship as we choose...

Theory =/= fact

It really annoys me when people think that a theory is just an untested idea or something. A theory has had to of been tested and examined beyond the realms of "just an idea", it has to have a lot of tested evidence backing it up to become a theory. If it was testable but no evidence existed then it would be a hypothesis.

 

 

 

You are splitting hairs for the sake of it.

Theory is not a fact.

Tell this to a scientist, their heads will explode. A theory is a group of facts attained through testing to understand a natural phoenominon. Therefore a theory is as close to having facts as you can get really. But it only becomes one when it is accepted by the scientific community when hypothesis has proved positive and the tests can be successfully recreated. But testing does still occur in a theory to better understand it. But it is hard facts when you get down to it.

MacroEvolution is not a fact- it is philosophy.

Macroevolution was invented by creationists in 1927 to try and trip up evolutionists because it's harder to proove than micro. Ask any evolutionary biologist, they will tell you it's far more accurate to describe evolution as a universal definition (not break it up into two fields) and that you cant have micro evolution and not macro because they are one in the same. Besides what you call macro evolution has much evidence to support it... especially with todays findings.

The test do not prove the theory so it is still a theory, unproven, not fact, not LAW.

Look up the scientific definition of theory in the dictionary. it HAS to be proven, othwise it is a hypothesis.
