Evolution is just a theory!

[In situ]

Last 10 years discovery from fossils finds in China shows that evolution is just a theory!

There are no evidence for macro-evolution! It is only micro-evolution all the way!

There is evidence that systems are designed and
only allow for a limited amount of variation.

To support this we need to retest every variation
of DNA under all possible environments and
time frames. And then re-check our findings.

What are the i) evidence for design and what are the ii) evidence that variation only can be limited?

To support this we need to retest every variation of DNA under all possible environments and time frames. And then re-check our findings.

Not sure what you refer to here. Do you refer to design or evolution?

How do you account for humans existing on the earth today?

Is gravity just a theory? In science, saying something is a theory is not meant to be diminutive. Also, if there were no evidence for something, then there would be no one who believed it was true.

It's gotten to the point now, where I don't know, what threads are sincere, which ones are satire.

In science "theory" is as good as it gets. Although "theory" in common parlance means nothing more than a guess, in science it means something very different. An idea rises to the level of theory in science only after numerous, independent tests have been performed and have yielded consistent data. A scientific theory offers insight into the natural world while making predictions about the structure of the natural world. Scientific theories permit us to make sense of random facts. Because science proceeds by disproof rather than proof, in other words because science is reliant on the concept of falsifiability, scientists must be open to the possibility that a commonly accepted theory might, at some time in the future, be replaced by a more finely tuned or more robust theory. But being open to the possibility of future work modifying and improving our present theories is a far cry from saying that something is "just a theory" and thus not deserving of any special attention.

I have no idea what you are trying to say.

It's also a game of connect-the-dots [witchcraft edition].

How do you?

I'm saying that it's completely illogical to use the adverb "just" to talk about a concept that represents the high end of a spectrum. When someone says "Evolution is just a theory," I have no idea what he or she is trying to say. "Just" suggests that there's some sort of implicit limitation.

Nicely said. Thank you.

None of these are "just theories" either?

1. Miasma theory
2. Phlogiston theory
3. Recapitulation theory
4. Caloric theory
5. Emission theory
6. Emitter theory
7. Steady State theory
8. Expanding Earth theory
9. Geosyncline theory
10. 5 different theories as to how we got our moon

Evolution is the reigning theory in its realm of study. No superior alternative has been suggested. I see no reason for anyone to doubt it unless he or she can come up with something stronger. Have you?

How do you?

Do you always answer a question with a question? Is that because you have no ideas, thoughts or positions on the subject of how humans came to be on the earth?

Probably because it is the only theory in its realm of study.
