[allign=center]I'm sorry, but I just have to put in here, that I agree- Evolution is simply a theory. And a religion as well. I mean honestly, it's basically humanisim, hiding behind a thin mask of science,


In layman's terms, "theory" means "half assed guess". Creationism fits this theory. Evolution does not.

Evolution, furthermore, has nothing to do with humanism. Humanisim works well with it, but evolution is not based on it.

it fits better than evulotion ever will there are like no facts for evoltion really its mostly theroy and there are may thing about the bible that have been proven

What in the Bible has been proven, hm?

Unless you can prove God, you cannot prove Creationism.

ummmmmm lets see hear accually lets get you to answer these wat about evolution has been proven without a doubt

By the way, Christians aren't the only ones who believe in Creation, so, I wouldn't be pinning it to their books and all their hooplah.

Equivocation. In science "Theory" means so well tested and supported it's accepted as fact. Evolution fits this definition. Creationism does not.

You are retarded. God, i'm so done with this whole argument. Pizzaface, i'm not saying your religion is wrong. That's not what's going on here, it's just it violates the constitution and should not be taught in schools, AND evolution is scientific fact, and should be taught because it's important to people involved in science.

teachers are stupid in public schools have you ever been to a private school its a lot harder

This is a myth. Very few private schools have higher standards than public. Many have lower ones. Especially the hyper religious ones you apparently attend. It's quite obvious that their standards are so low, that you can't even define evoluiton or the big bang.

That's true. There ARE private schools with very high standards. I know, my dad taught at one. However, these are few and far between, almost all of them are in New England, and you'll know one if you see it. A few off the top of my head: Exeter, Choate, Andover, Hotchkiss, Milton, not Deerfield, those ******** suck... well known, ridiculously expensive, college prep schools, usually attended either by wunderkids or the offspring of the rich and famous. No offense hooper, but you don't exactly come off as either, so I doubt you're going to a school measurably better than public ones.

Burden of proof is on you, son. You claim God created the world, you have to prove it. The fact we're finding new species every day, the fact that we have a HISTORY OF NATURAL SCIENCES museum proves evolution enough for MY taste.

Evolution has been confirmed through:

variations showing trends in the fossil record
observed genetic changes
heritability of genetic changes
observed speciation
etc...

1/1000000000000 thats the chance of having a planet that can substain life
i think theres a God somewhere

[linaloki]

People seem to be confusing the word "theory" with the word "belief".

Watch this:

Theories are scientific in nature. They have been researched, have evidence backing them, but they aren't 100%. Popular theories in science include: The Big Bang. Evolution. Gravity. Atomic Theory. Plate Tectonics. Osmosis. Sun centers the Solar System, not the Earth.

You might note that no one disagrees with gravity, we demolished to Japanese cities based on the atomic theory, California would give you death glares if you said plate tectonics weren't real, and the Church has already apologized about not agreeing with that last theory.

Beliefs are personal thoughts about how the universe works. They include theories, but theories do not include all beliefs. Creationism is a belief. As is Creatiolutionism. Neither are inherently wrong, but neither can be proven to be correct. That's why they aren't theories.

You can believe in Abrahamic Creationism all you want. What you CAN'T do is teach it as a viable scientific theory.

most scientists are becoming creationists because of more evidence and creationism takes less to believe in then some theory that says a pea exploded and tada! there a whole universe

Lies. BLATANT lies.

As of yet, no evidence or data has been found of Christian (or any other) creation theory, or EVEN the big bang.

uhhh..can you repeat that part about the big bang not having any evidence. I wa sunder the assumption that red shift and cosmic radiation were huge chuncks of evidence

Good thing there's billions of planets out there.

And you still haven't proven their is a god.

Burden of proof = you. Prove to me, right now, Creationism is without a doubt true. And THEN, prove to me that evolution can't occur within Abrahamic Creation.

But how many chances did the universe have to make life on one? How many planets are there, because there's probably more than 1000000000000, because with that figure, you have to have a concrete number to make that ratio out of. So there must be 1000000000000 planets that we know of, and we are the one that got life. Actually, you probably pulled that out your a**.

Prove it.

Additionally, I'm fairly certain we have several billion planets in the universe, at the very least. Which makes that probability much less intimidating.
