Definition of religion from astandard dictionary -
''a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe''
The theory of evolution therefore is religious.
The cause, nature and purpose of the universe are religious or philosophical questions and not science because no one was there to observe when it was created and why, or how etc.
Hence science is limited on these issues. We don't know the age of the earth or universe, we just have reasonable estimations. For example no one knows what day and what second the universe was made, scientists can only guess by a million or billion year estimate. However, if someone was there - we would know the exact date, hence we have some very precise times for battles and historical events since recorded history.
Evolution therefore is religious/faith-based/assumption etc.
Science is based on evidence, not assumption. Science is not a religion. No part of science is.
So when has it been observed Humans evolved?
Fossil record shows a progression of homonid fossils.
Early homonid species.
Where did we evolve from?
What do you mean, where? it all happened on Earth.
Where you there then to observe?
"There" is "here". I am here. The evidence left behind is here.
Are you saying this transition is on camera/been observed?
One species becoming another species has been observed, many times.
You wonder why there are so many creationists or sceptics of evolution?
I don't wonder. I know why. because they don't bother to do their research and look at the evidence.
It's because evolution has never been observed, and to most people believing in something which is not observable is irrational. Do you believe in pixies, leprachuans?
have you ever seen an angel? And yet I bet you believe. hence, you are irrational.
Close --
The Bible says about some that -- professing themselves to be sapiens -- they ended up becoming atheists who worship Creation.
Romans 1:20 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
In other words, anyone who doesn't agree with you is wrong because your old book says so.
????
So you are saying the universe was observed when it was created?
Have you heard of the cosmic microwave background radiation? Go look it up.
That has nothing to do with evolution, all it shows is that originally everything was created in the same place. That doesn't rule out creationism.
It does support the Big Bang theory, however.
No one has ever observed a star evolve. According to mainstream astronomers it takes millions of years.
yeah, it takes millions of years, and yet you think that if science was true we'd be able to see the entire life of one?
What we can do is look at differnet stars in different stages of life, and form a model for how a star changes. it's kinda like if you look at people walking down the street. You'd see people of all different ages, and you'd be able to figure out that people start off as little babies, grow into children, then adults before finally becoming elderly. If you see someone die on the street, you might even figure out how the process ends, and you could figure out how it starts if you saw a woman giving birth.
Your argument is like saying that because you can't see the act of conception, the idea that people grow through different life stages is wrong.
Why do you reject scientific facts?
And what facts are being ignored in that discussion about stellar evolution (which has nothing to do with biological evolution, btw).
And now you are changing the definition of science to what is non-observable and non-testable...not wise, since it opens science up to pseudo-science.
Just because the process takes longer than a single person is able to obnserve it does not mean that it is not observable or testable.
No one has observed when life originated.
So because science can't answer it now, that means goddidit? Once, science couldn't answer what kept the sun shining. That didn't mean Goddidit was the right answer. You are invoking God of the Gaps.
Thats what the evolutionists say, but since this has never been observed its not science. You are still welcome to your faith in it though.
Again, just because one person can't see the whole thing doesn't make it false. There is a wealth of molecular and DNA evidence that supports it. perhaps you'd like to tell us where the flaws in these evidences are?
Thats what science is about - observing and testing, just a shame the evolutionists/atheists don't yet grasp the basics of science.
The evidences for biological evolution have been observed and tested, and they have been used to make testable predictions which were shown to be accurate. I have already mentioned this. Why do you ignore it?
All of these 'forms' of evolution are in the dictionary.
So is centrifugal force, even though that's just inertia.
let me ask you a question.
Are you actually interested in learning what evolution is, or are you just here to bash it?
