| Jordahn said: The bottom line here is that everyone is religious whether they admit it or not. Having a religion simply means believing in something that gives some kind of meaning/motivation in our lives. That applies to ALL of us. But in regards to creationism, there are facts that have given validation to a relatively young earth as opposed to the conventional billion of years of evolution. There is no fact or science that has proven that evolution is true. Believing in an unproven theory is just as religious as believing that creationism is fact. |
Are you serious? There is overwhelming facts and evidence proving that evolution happened and is currently happening. You also seem to not understand what a theory means in the scientific community. A scientific theory, which is what the theory of evolution is, is an observable explanation in nature. Theories are based around facts. There is no such thing as an unproven theory since that implies it has never been proven thus contridicting what is required for a hypothesis to be upgraded to a theory. Hypothesis must be proven in order for them to become a theories
Let's take this step by step. Facts are verifiably accurate data. A hypothesis is a testable, potentially falsifiable explanation of facts/laws. Laws are statements which are always true under certain circumstances. Now a theory is a unifying framework explaining a sum of laws, hypothesis, and facts. So based on what I stated evolution has been verifiable and tested.
We've seen change in allele frequencies, transitional fossils, natural selection, speciation, etc. everything we see in biology is 100% compatable with evolution.
