This seems to be a recurring issue that people still don't understand here.

3 RepliesThe fact that the fossil record is so void of evolutionary intermediates, makes the theory of evolution unlikely to be correct.

3 RepliesAre you referring to evolution in the sense of "chimps turning into man", or a species adaptation to its environment?

2 RepliesThe idea that we all evolved from monkeys is completely ridiculous, but I do believe that some organisms slowly change over time. Also known as adaptation. I love how all of the comments keep saying that evolution is a fact even though it hasn't been completely proven.

5 RepliesFor those in the "micro not macro" camp, I would like to pose a question. I've already asked this question in multiple subthreads and have yet to get a good response. If organisms can change, what stops them from changing too much? What is the unique and immutable property of an organism that persists across every generation? What is the barrier between "micro" and "macro"?

Well considering that many babies these days are being born without an appendix. Show signs of constant evolution, even in us humans.

16 RepliesChristian standpoint here on evolution and how it's basis is all faith- one of he largest things Atheists put on believers of a creator as a counter to religion. "Nothing has been proven- it's all just faith and nothing else." ---Very popular argument against any religion who believes in a kind of god. But don't you think it takes more faith to believe that the world we have, with every perfectly put together animal, human, plant, etc., came from an explosion that came from absolutely nothing than to believe in a Creator? The chances of everything we have coming from a "Big Bang" and being as perfectly constructed and intricate as they are would be like finding a needle in an uncountable amount of hay in the first few seconds. "Well, if there is a god, where did he come from? Surely he'd have to have been created" ---Same could be said about the Big Bang. If there was nothing, what caused it? There's no reason a Big Bang should've happened if there was nothing. For example, If you stand in an empty plot of land and stare at it, will a house build itself? Of course not. But if you bring the resources and tool with which to do so, you, as the [b]creator[/b] can build your house. Sure, some factors of evolution are believed to be proven. However, the theory of Evolution as a whole has never been proven. "Well, Neither has the existence of a Divine being/Creator" ---We don't live to 'prove it'. It is faith, and we know that. If you choose to go your own route, that's your choice. We can try to preach to you, but if all Atheists do is disregard it as 'ignorance', then it's useless. Try reading the Bible all the way through, or attend church. If you still aren't convicted, then you weren't listening as well as you could have.

Edited by Reggie_Wok: 12/12/2016 1:21:10 AMIt's really kind of sad that this is still a relevant issue that needs to be discussed. Evolution has so much proof backing it, and people who don't know what a scientific theory is really become infuriating to have a discussion with. The empirical evidence that supports evolution as a scientific theory is staggering.

1 ReplyBy "believe" you mean "know that it is factual," right?

1 ReplyFor all of you saying that evolution is 'just a theory', I have two things to tell you. 1. Gravity's full name is 'The Theory of Gravity', much like most scientific things 2. Scientific theories are much more substantiated than normal theories. Hell, even a scientific hypothesis is usually more substantiated than a normal theory

2 RepliesEdited by icothiba: 12/8/2016 7:38:58 PMI believe in Panspermia or Simple Beginnings. Panspermia more. Panspermia; [quote]Perhaps life did not begin on Earth at all, but was brought here from elsewhere in space, a notion known as panspermia. For instance, rocks regularly get blasted off Mars by cosmic impacts, and a number of Martian meteorites have been found on Earth that some researchers have controversially suggested brought microbes over here, potentially making us all Martians originally. Other scientists have even suggested that life might have hitchhiked on comets from other star systems. However, even if this concept were true, the question of how life began on Earth would then only change to how life began elsewhere in space[/quote] Simple Beginnings; [quote]Instead of developing from complex molecules such as RNA, life might have begun with smaller molecules interacting with each other in cycles of reactions. These might have been contained in simple capsules akin to cell membranes, and over time more complex molecules that performed these reactions better than the smaller ones could have evolved, scenarios dubbed "metabolism-first" models, as opposed to the "gene-first" model of the "RNA world" hypothesis.[/quote]

5 Replies*pushes glasses back into place in the most nerdy way possible* Technically, nothing is 100% so the theory could be wrong. Even what we know about gravity or our solar system's structure could be false. There's no such thing as 100%. Only 99.999999999999999999999999999999999...% Of course, I just trying to be a smart*ss.

9 RepliesEvolution has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. It is no longer a question of whether or not you believe in it; it's now a question of whether or not you understand its existence.

6 RepliesEdited by Atom: 12/8/2016 11:05:33 PMHm, I can't exactly say that I don't believe in evolutionism, despite being a Christian. I suppose I take my view point from Inherit the Wind. So yes, I suppose.

8 RepliesAs of this very moment in time Evolution is the single greatest answer we have through science for the reason be exist. Now if we were to take this into a philosophical discussion. I would say it was God who formed each and everyone of us. What we see through science is simply the clues of our creation and how God formed us.
