First you called evolution a fact then a theory, and one wonders why it is touted so highly.
Evolution is a fact. Living forms have changed and diversified since life began; they have evolved.. The theory of evolution is a scientific explanation for that fact.First you called evolution a fact then a theory, and one wonders why it is touted so highly.
It is of zero benefit to mankind.
Thanks for your opinion on the theory of evolution.Evolution is a fact. Living forms have changed and diversified since life began; they have evolved.. The theory of evolution is a scientific explanation for that fact.
Has there been repeated observable events to establish it as a fact?Evolution is both. It's a fact that evolution occurs in populations of biological organisms. The theory is the explanation for how it occurs.

I would ask 'from what had genes evolved'?Evolution at its core is the process by which gene frequencies change in populations over time. This is continuously observed and studied in populations.
As long as you have populations of biological organisms that are reproducing, you will have evolution.
It is both. But then I doubt if you know what a theory is.First you called evolution a fact then a theory, and one wonders why it is touted so highly.
It's a consequence of how the chemical DNA reacts.I would ask 'from what had genes evolved'?

Moving the goal posts is a way of admitting that you lost the argument. You have now moved the goalposts to abiogenesis. As has been pointed out by several the theory of evolution tells us what happened after abiogenesis.I would ask 'from what had genes evolved'?
Yes.Has there been repeated observable events to establish it as a fact?
Researchers have discovered the fossil of a fish with finger-like digits in its fin that lived 380 million years ago, according to a new study. And they believe it bridges the evolutionary gap between marine and land vertebrates as one of the oldest examples of a skeletal pattern resembling a hand.
The study published Wednesday in the journal Nature.
"Today we announce in the journal Nature our discovery of a complete specimen of a tetrapod-like fish, called Elpistostege, which reveals extraordinary new information about the evolution of the vertebrate hand," said John Long, study author and Strategic Professor in Palaeontology at Flinders University in Australia.
"This is the first time that we have unequivocally discovered fingers locked in a fin with fin-rays in any known fish. The articulating digits in the fin are like the finger bones found in the hands of most animals."
In the phylogenetic tree, this species is near the justly-famous Tiktaalik.
Yes, but some beliefs are confirmed by observation and testing and some are not. Creationist sites go so far as to have their workers swear not to use the scientific method. To date the scientific method supports only evolution. Creation "scientists" are too afraid to even form a properly testable hypothesis. As a result they no longer can claim to be scientists, at least when dealing with evolution.Everyone creates their own set of beliefs by sifting through facts that match previous beliefs they wish to establish. This is well documented.
I know enough to know that evolution is a con. For start, evolutionists found way too many flaws in the theory- including Darwin.

According to the so-called fact of evolution, it must have evolved otherwise did it just come spontaneously from nothing?It's a consequence of how the chemical DNA reacts.
We don't know how the original DNA formed, but it really isn't relevant to how it behaves now, or for the last 3 and a half billion years.
I didn't realize gravity was the topic, or are you claiming gravity also evolved?Gravity is a fact. And there are theories of gravity developed to explain this fact. Newton developed one. Einstein developed another. It is no different with evolution. We observe the fact, and scientists have developed an extremely successful theory to explain it.
Where did I admit evolution as a fact. I may have used the term facetiously.Moving the goal posts is a way of admitting that you lost the argument. You have now moved the goalposts to abiogenesis. As has been pointed out by several the theory of evolution tells us what happened after abiogenesis.
Are you sure that you want to admit that evolution is a fact? You might want to rethink your question.
