You are still wrong. Deal with it.
What exactly is my error?What dishonesty and denial are you referring to? You have been corrected repeatedly by everyone on this thread regarding the meaning of 'theory' in a scientific context and you have despite these corrections refused to acknowledge your error.
Show me exactly how I'm wrong.
That us and chimpanzees share a common ancestor is not a fact. It is a theory. You are wrong. Deal with it. Or go back to school.us and chimpanzees share a common ancestor. That is a fact.
What exactly is my error?
Doveaman said:You do know that this idea is only a theory and not a fact, right? So go back where?
Theory in scientific usage also refers to fact. A Theory contains facts. You have been told this repeatedly and have been given some basic citation for this even and you still refuse to budge on what the word 'theory' in science means.
Now I know you all are just a bunch of trolls.
variation, undefinded, withing a kind, undefined, within limites, undefined and of unknown mechanism and extent.Just out of curiosity, how do creationists account for gene mutations?
Show me how I am wrong about this:I started a thread a while back on just this subject, whether or not the creationist has the capacity to ever admit he / she is wrong in any mater relating to a evo - creo discussion.
I requested that anyone who knows of an example should say so.
Nobody had a single example.
Now, name calling may seem a fine way to cover for this fact, or deny it; but what should we expect.
I point out a simple observation of fact and you call names.
When did you ever admit you were wrong? Which creo here ever did?
truth hurts, so call names.
cool.
You too are being dishonest about the whole discussion. Typical.Theory in scientific usage also refers to fact. A Theory contains facts. You have been told this repeatedly and have been given some basic citation for this even and you still refuse to budge on what the word 'theory' in science means.
Show me how I am wrong about this:
"That us and chimpanzees share a common ancestor is not a fact. It is a theory."
The evidence shows it to be a fact. The mechanism through which we evolved from that ancestor is part of the theory. Originally it was a hypothesis, but after a century and a half of investigation and the discovery of genomics, the evidence is settled. It is a fact.
He said theory is the interpretation of the facts, not the facts themselves.Theory in scientific usage also refers to fact. A Theory contains facts.
You are correct.He said theory is the interpretation of the facts, not the facts themselves.
Therefore, the idea that we came from an ape species would be a theory, since we're dealing with the theory of evolution -- (the interpretation of the data that supports evolution).
Dove, please correct me if I'm wrong -- thanks.
