Do YOU believe in evolution?

You just stated that the Theory of Evolution is a theory... then how is it a fact?

 

Evolution is a fact. The Theory of Evolution, the most popular one being the Darwinian Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection, explains the fact of evolution.
You may want to familiarize yourself with the terms "fact" and "theory" within the context of science.

 

I am already familiar with the terms.

A theory is a bunch of evidence or facts put together to make an educated guess.

There are facts in the Theory of Evolution, but that doesn't make the whole theory "a fact."

 

No one is saying that the Theory of Evolution is a fact. Science claims that evolution is a fact. You're failing to distinguish the difference between evolution and the Theory of Evolution.
Organisms evolve, and this has been observed and confirmed. Therefore, it is a fact. The theory explains how it occurs.

 

evolution requires billions of years to take place (in theory) it has never been observed and never will

 

No, it doesn't. Organisms which can reproduce rapidly can also evolve rapidly.

Observed Instances of Speciation

 

Hi there,

I do not believe in theory of evolution. But to the people who believe in this theory, I have a simple question. This theory can not be confirmed because it requires billion years. But the world has record of past 2000 years atleast. In these years, has anyone witnesses one species changing to other?

If evolution theory says Monkey eventually becomes man, why did the change or the evolution stop at certain point? Why did not we see some monkeys giving birth to human at any remote places of the world? If not human, atleast if a monkey give birth to a species which is physically close to human, then we can probably research on this theory of evolution.

Scientist use this theory to argue about the existence of God. But they can not prove the theory of evolution.

 

I don't know about you, but I'm not a mutated monkey.

The earth being over a billion years is just outrageous to me. Take a look at this article.



Not only have more blood cells been found, but also soft, fibrous tissue, and complete blood vessels. There is no way they could have been preserved for so long.

 

It doesn't. Please, go read a book on it.

 

I saw a talking stone, i will tell my children about this, in a couple of years everyone will believe in the talking stone.
That's crap, prove they saw it, otherwise your claim is as false as my talking stone. Ever seen god? Got proofs to support that claim?


Anyways back to boring website building

 

No, but 24,000 copies of the same book can't lie. I'm sure if there was a secular book at the same time period, people would believe it.

 

well give me one example of one species becoming another

 

if you had a hundred people see the talking stone with you, just like those that witnessed to gods miracles, i would believe you saw a talking stone. If eye witness isnt proof what is?

 

I agree that I need to read some more books on it. But friend, I think you too need to read more.

But i can gather up 100 associates, or even pay 100 random people to claim they saw it, just because people claim they saw something don't make it true.
Or do you believe in ufos as well?

 

William Rice conducted a famous experiment in the 80s with fruit flies and succeeded at creating new species.

 

Well, the Bible is more than just a bunch of people claiming. There are many things to take into consideration...

Its confirmation based on eye-witness accounts.
Its confirmation based on archeology.
Its confirmation based on messianic and historical prophecies.
Its confirmation based on the presence of miracles.
Its ability to transform lives.
Its transmission quality based on the wealth of manuscript evidence.
Its internal consistency, harmony, and continuity.

 

So where does it say that monkeys turn into humans? That was your claim, remember?
Go on, show me where it makes such a silly claim.

 

isnt that what science is?

UFO = unidentified flying object i could throw a grain of sand at you, if you didnt know what it was, you could say it was a ufo

I think you dont really understand what theory of evolution means. You cant expect the exact words in books that says monkeys become humans. But thats what the theory of evolution means. No matter whether you accept or not.
