Do you believe in evolution?

[IH]

eh I personally think that the evidence is too inconclusive to prove evolution thoroughly and scientifically myself. Viral development and such can form to make a larger organism, but.....

Where did the original spark of life come from?

Are these organisms ever mutating, or just repeating itself?

Etc etc. Not to mention, there are some arguments about the 'fossil layer' which I don't agree with.

[IH]

Just because there isn't an answer yet, it doesn't mean there isn't one. It's not relevant anyways, the theory of evolution does not explain how life was created, but rather how from one common ancestor we changed to get all the species of the world.

But if there's inconclusive proof, then it's a belief that it's right. The theory of evolution is usually used as an argument against things such as creationism as the origin of life. I feel that explaining the spark of life coming from somewhere is a very important part to the correctness of evolution.

Also I will remember the "just because there isn't an answer yet" in future arguments with you.

Which organisms? The answer is most likely "they are mutating" but I'm just wondering which organisms you are talking about.

Virus's, colonies of bacteria, etc etc.

The mere fact that it is called a theory means that there's a vast amount of conclusive evidence.

I can see that you may not be convinced by the arguments for evolution, but did you study the science behind it?

Err, no, anything can be called a theory. I think a quasar is actually masses of living organisms emitting radio waves. Thats a theory.

A good example of evolution is antibiotic-resistant bacteria strains. Without evolution, once we found an antibiotic, it should be good forever. However, somehow bacteria develop resistance to them.

Adaptation does not=evolution though I think. The organism may change slightly to adapt, but it's never mutating into an entirely different virus or such. Just a different strain, right?

But there are still faults with the origin.

If chemicals produced it in the first place, why isn't it being reproduced today? Why can't we reproduce it?

I continue to feel like the generations is still something thats just going "BUT YOU CAN'T DISPROVE IT!"

Not only that, but alot of evidence points that the earth is not that old. Like the degeneration of the magnetic fields. Etc Etc.

Which brings me back to the main point of this thread, which is talking about teaching it in schools, right? The spin thats getting put on it is that Evolution is right, you're stupid, shut up, at least from my viewpoint, when Evolution is a highly inconclusive theory, and needs to be taught

objectively

if they insist on teaching it.

I don't believe it myself, but if they insist on teaching it, then thats how I believe things should go about.

[IH]

How is a theory a fact again?

[IH]

why the shit are you guys wandering onto talking about the Bible

I thought it was on the scientific theory of evolution for the biodiversity of life on this planet and the origin of species

if you disagree with that then you're as silly as not agreeing with the theory of gravity, the theory of atoms, or the theory of germs

As somebody who has enough faith to believe in God while still accepting science, I challenge an evolution denier (I'd call them creationists but really that'd imply they had a belief system that made sense, that'd be like calling holocaust-deniers their own special name for their wacky belief system)

So you prefer to not interpret the Bible literally, and therefore not interpret the book of Genesis literally, either by citing the verse of the day=1000 years, or just inserting an arbitrary gap between Gensis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2

Or do you prefer to ignore the entire book of Genesis?

Just curious.

[IH]

Genesis isn't meant to be taken literally, if you take the Bible literally you're going to have a hard time understanding that Jesus guy, he keeps on going off about wacky stories that don't relate to the matter!

But I prefer to talk about science, so I'd like Adele to know how we want this approach to go. Would you like me to present the evidence for evolutionary theory to you, Adele, or would you like to shoot it down? Who wants to take on defense?

Nice try. You're speaking of Parables, that usually begin with "And Jesus spake to the crowd" or "and Jesus spake to his disciples"

[IH]

Xdaamno....

gah, that was not a proper reply to assume you were automatically wrong. [/lack of self confidence]

[IH]

It was like four posts ago? How about time frame?

LOL YOU BELIEVE IN GRAVITY LOL DONT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOUVE READ was you like literally 4 posts back.

Glad to know we're dealing with a mentally challenged person here who

A.Doesn't know what arguments mean
B.Can't troll properly
C.Fails generally at life.

Thuh end.

[IH]

Ya'll are good trolls.

[IH]

Can you define gravity, and explain it in a logical way that tells us exactly what it is, besides a force that attracts objects the more mass it has? Can you explain why gravity works the way it does?

yay.

[IH]

Shea?

[IH]

Do you know what wifom is? Pretty much it's something that has so much of an equal chance that it could go either way.

So you just supported that it's entirely possible.

[IH]

Adele is a she.

[IH]

Nah

I still think you misused Wifom to be honest, I'll have to go back and look.

Probably the person closest to using wifom, was me, when you ridiculed people talking about Gravity being false.

[IH]

Actually, she never said it wasn't real, she said there were scientist who disagreed with the

Theory

of Gravity. Not that Gravity was false. That how it works is possibly false.
