PSA about evolution
Evolution happens. Fact.
The scientific explanation of [b][u]how[/u][/b] it happens is called the scientific theory of evolution.
If you disagree with the scientific theory, and think it was caused through the intervention of some divine entity or some other phenomenon, you bear the burden of proof to show that entity or phenomenon exists. If you cannot, then your idea has no credibility. The scientific theory of evolution has met the burden of proof, that's why its a scientific theory.

1 ReplyEvolution is a fact In science, a "fact" typically refers to an observation, measurement, or other form of evidence that can be expected to occur the same way under similar circumstances. However, scientists also use the term "fact" to refer to a scientific explanation that has been tested and confirmed so many times that there is no longer a compelling reason to keep testing it or looking for additional examples. In that respect, the past and continuing occurrence of evolution is a scientific fact. Because the evidence supporting it is so strong, scientists no longer question whether biological evolution has occurred and is continuing to occur. Instead, they investigate the mechanisms of evolution, how rapidly evolution can take place, and related questions. (U.S. National Academy of Sciences,Science, Evolution, and Creationism, pg. 11 (National Academy Press, 2008)
