It really isn't a debate, evolution is a fact. Its not subject to belief or disbelief, its reality. A scientific theory is a proven hypothesis. Evolution is a theory, just like Gravity, and Cells are "just a theory". Micro and Macro evolution are fake concepts invented by creationists in order to debunk it. Clearly, that did not work. Evolution has been directly observed in animals with short lifespans like fruit flies. If you are going to reject direct, peer reviewed observation, yet trust in the bible, or the Qur'an or any holy book. You are creating a double standard. The burden of proof is on us, and it has been met time and time again.
Edit: Wow 2000 replies that's awesome
Edit: I really love the responses, I can't believe we're over 3000
Edit: I'm gonna rewrite this post as I don't like the message it is portraying and some of the feedback it has received. I just don't personally like how it was wriited and the circumstances it was written in check back in a couple hours for the new one.

I believe God create evolution, as in he didn't place Adam and Eve but he shaped nature to eventually bring us to this point
-
Strange how were almost the only species on the planet without a tail.
-
If we evolved from monkeys why are there still monkeys? Just wondering don't want to start a war

It's not proven, so it isn't a fact. It is a scientific theory though and is generally accepted as the best explanation in the scientific community. Still though, not a proven fact.

Edited by Zavala's Pet Cat: 3/18/2015 2:01:17 AMThats great, i still believe in God. Edit: Ok flood, you've had your fun, you done yet?

Then explain how the first ever species came. Oh wait, you can't. Exactly....
-
If we evolved from apes. Then why are there still apes
-
Cool story bro. Needs more dinosaurs.
-
XD How old are you??? No difference in micro/ macro. There is a huge difference. To believe in Evolution takes the same faith as it does to believe in creationism.
-
Question for evolutionist which takes more faith believing in a God or believing we came from a rock
-
I believe in evolution but technically it's a theory not a fact. Just saying.

Edited by PJcxdoesgamez: 3/10/2015 7:58:47 PMJust a question (plz don't start a war or seriously put me down) If evolution is Scientific fact, how can we prove this? After all the studies I've done on Evolution and Darwinism, I've never found any Concrete indisputable fact that proves evolution to be scientific fact. No one was there in the very beginning so how do we know? Methods like carbon-14 dating have been proven to be flawed and fossils don't come with tiny tags on them saying 'hey I'm 15 million years old and I'm an ancestor of a horse!' I understand the meaning of the term Theory when it is used in science, but the difference between The theory of evolution and the theory of gravity is that the theory of gravity can be easily proven simply by living your life. Dropping something is enough to prove to another person that gravity exists. However, it's very different with Evolution. There is no easy way to prove that evolution is fact. Even Darwin's brilliant theory of natural selection doesn't tell me enough. The real question here is 'where did everything come from?' Or 'why are we here?' I don't think anybody can answer those questions. If we really did come from a single-celled first organism, where did that come from? And where did that that created that come from? Well nobody knows. And that's why I'm turning to Christianity for answers, and honestly I'm finding their answers to things much more satisfying than atheism's answers to things. My favorite theory is the theory of intelligent design (look it up) so just don't go all Richard Dawkins on me, I tried to write this as simple as possible as to not stir up controversey and confusion. Thanks for reading Edit: honestly it takes more faith to believe in an unknown event that started all life then it does to believe in a magic man in the sky :)

Honestly I don't think anyone here is smart enough to fully understand what they are saying and are just stating random facts about the topic, but have no idea how to apply it to the topic. I don't even understand it. Like seriously guys I'm almost positive all you got your stuff from Wikipedia or something and paraphrased it into something that sounds really smart but you have no idea what it means. I don't either so don't waste your time on me.

EVOLUTION IS WRING HUMANS WERE CREATED IN MECHASHREKJESUSHITLERS IMAGE! That is all.
-
Name one thing or species that has evolved in the past million years.
-
The theory of evolution is fact? They need to rename it then. FYI: yeah I believe it's true, but it's not proven true by the scientific method.

THANK YOU! You should join my clan: THE AMAZING ATHEISTS. Then again though, Evolution was so last week. Now it's My Name Is Jeff.

I'm atheist. I believe in evolution. But I don't like how you worded this. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but saying its a fact just bothers me. It's a belief. Like every religion out there. There are no facts supporting God, or whatever your religion may be or worship. this is just my opinion tho.
-
I believe in evolution but I'm a Christian
-
Its not a fact. But I agree, people who don't believe in evolution are dumb.
-
Great another one of these
-
Wait who doesn't believe in evolution? I'm sure even atheists believe in death
