Do You Accept Evolution as a Fact?

The annoying thing I find is that many Anti-Evolutionists believe that Dawin's model is the only model we have on Evolution, when it simply isn't the case.
Darwin was wrong on allot of things... And that's okay. Science doesn't care.
The theory of Evolution has expanded from that original scope and there is signficantly more evidence to support Evolution today.

Also interestingly... I am having a debate with a Theist (HollyGamer) via personal message at the moment who believes that Evolution isn't a Scientific fact, despite the overwhelming evidence saying the contrary, that kind of thinking holds humanity back.

Your right that Darwin's model isn't the only theory of evolution, afterall it's just the most accepted one by the scientific community but science isn't about consensus either ... 

And I don't mean to knock on evolution if that's the impression you got since I'm also an agnostic athiest but what's being really getting to me lately is that scientific community is getting stuck in a political echochamber where case studies from the those that are progressive are so readily accepted whereas for the opposite that isn't so ... 

I'm extremely disappointed in the scientific community getting away with MASSIVE academic dishonesty when it comes to the likes of social darwanism and eugenics ... 

It's extremely sad how the scientific community will prioritize political agenda rather than physical empiricism as with the case we saw with James Watson ... 

If science is only to be used as a tool to anger those of different beliefs then I'll use it to anger those of progressive beliefs too if those of religious beliefs are being persecuted ...

Ermm... science IS about consensus. Consensus is gathered by the evidence.

I am not familiar with the claims you are making. Are you considering the scientific community to be limited to one country in order to have political interests? It doesn't sound very logical.

I have no idea what you are on about.

Science has no will or beliefs. What you are saying is ludicrous. Science looks at the evidence or demonstrates it to explains reality. It is not contingent on the agenda of religions. If religions are affected it's because they made laughable claims based on ignorance. Can't exactly blame Science for the mistakes religion does.

Like... religion can tell me a rock floats when let go of it 1m from the earth's crust and i can believe it is so. But the reality is it will drop. Against reality, belief is irrelevant. I guess you are trying to defend the right to believe anything, but there is a fine line between belief and ignorance.
