As (I think) Philisoft had once told me, he had met a creationist who, when confronted with the question, "Why does gravity happen?", he responded with, "Jesus makes it happen."

Still, enough people believe in evolution that it must be addressed by the truth. I agree that it is little more than conjecture to recreate a hypothesis from a handful of bones.
Evolution is a flawed science bordering on mythology. But it is all the atheist really has. We know the truth. |

Do we have to play the game of "Scientific Theory" again? PRATT. |

Acutally, this past weekend i went to a general fellowship christian church on an invite by a friend because it was about creationism. The pastor there made similiar claims, such as the planets keep on their orbital tracks because god wills them to, that every star lights up every night because god wills them to, that the oceans dont dry up because god wills them not to. God keeps the oceans filled up by springs on the bottom of the oceans which continually pump water into it.
After each statement, he would say, "And they say it came about by random chance!"

Evolution is not just a theory, its a scientific theory, there is a major difference. Learn it.  Germ theory, is "Just a scientific theory" Germ theory is the theory that germs like bacteria exist, and get you sick (from my understanding).
Maybe you can show us what data is missing. (unless of course, this is one of those many post and runs)
We dont have a "handful of bones" we have tons and tons of them, spaning many different times. Originally Posted by Man of Sorrows Evolution is a theory.

I can't stop laughing. I miss most of that since my parents are Catholic, and since Catholics accept evolution (at least the pope does - most Catholics would follow suit if he does) I don't hear any of the creationist humor at church.

It's creationists like that who give creationists who at least bother to try and be scientific (even if their science isn't quite correct) a bad name. |

You have got to be kidding me. This sounds like the ignorance i would only expect from a small child. Clearly, there is no amount of evidence that could convince you that evolution is indeed a reality, and for that reason, your argument is worthless. Evolution is by no means a flawed science, and any logical homo sapien is able to acknowledge this.
Furthermore, why do you feel the theory of evolution is an "atheistic" belief? It's absurd to connect scientific facts with theology, just because it differs from yours.
Tell me about your "truth". |
