Just 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 :)

  • That was a incredibly intelligent answer.

  • Yo man research the what Richard Dawkins said on the Cambrian explosion: "it is as though they [fossils] were just planted there, without any evolutionary history. Needless to say this appearance of sudden planting has delighted creationists...both schools of thought (Punctuationists and Gradualists) despise so-called scientific creationists equally, and both agree that major gaps are real, that they are true imperfections in the fossil record. The only alternative explanation of the sudden appearance of so many complex animal types in the Cambrian era is divine creation and (we) both reject this alternative." (Richard Dawkins, [i]The Blind Watchmaker[/i], [New York, NY: W.W. Norton & Company, 1996], 229-230)

  • Atheism isn't answering anything, its just the lack of a belief in a god or gods. I don't find intelligent design true because of all of the things that aren't intelligently designed. Like male balls. They are arguably one of the most important organs in the body, and they are just hanging between your legs covered by a thin layer of skin. Or the sun, the thing that provides all life in the solar system but can give you cancer by simply going outside. Sure buildings are designed, that's because they don't occur naturally. You couldnt say the same thing about a tree in the forest. You couldn't day who designed and built that tree. It just grew. Evolution is a proven concept, we have observed it in fruitflies which have incredibly short lifespans. After a certain amount of time, the new fruitflies could not mate with the old ones because they have become a different species. This is a ring species. Where an organism splits in two directions and after a certain amount of time in their environment they could not inbreed with each other. I wouldn't bet my life on Christianity and follow it because I am threatend with an eternity in hell, that just shows me how unjust this god would be. I appreciate the kindness of your question and meant to do the same with my answer. And if you are not sure, people are still researching and studying evolution, if you don't know something don't fill it with god did it, that how I feel anyway.

  • Evolution isn't anything about the origin of life m8
