If there is "no evidence" for evolution...

I guess I have to say it again...how convenient is that?

Inconvenient, actually.

If we could regard a theory as an absolute certainty, then science would be easy. We'ld wrap up a theory and we'ld be done with the subject.

But reality, logic and science doesn't work like that...

In reality, one must always keep in mind that future discoveries might force you to go back to the drawing board.

Making things up aren't going to get much in the way of replies from me. Post using facts.

What was in that post that was "made up", in your opinion?

I also note that you failed to provide a concrete example of a theory in science that was demonstrated to be Truth, capital 'T', using "absolute proof".

Are you planning on giving such an example any time soon?

Says the poster who just made up several things I said...pulled em' right out of thin air

Please point out which things I made up.

Besides, coming from you, they cut means nothing, it's a common ploy here.

Sorry dude...
But if you are going to say that "i don't know" is the equivalent of saying "nothing produced x", then I can only call that incredibly dishonest.

"i don't know" means "i don't know" and nothing else.

If you all want to pretend "it just happened" is not a common explanation, if you want to play like that never happened, that's fine, but I still live in the real world, and remember the big bang out of nowhere theory.

The big bang theory doesn't say anything about what triggered it.
Perhaps this is also a good time to state that the physicist that came up with big bang theory, was also a christian priest.

On top of that, this thread isn't about cosmology or physics. It's about biology, evolution theory in particular.

Maybe you should stick to the topic.
Nobody here is talking about big bang theory, except you. Well... about a strawman version of the theory anyway.

Tell you what, once you all get on the same page, let me know

Says the creationist who follows a religion that has some 35.000 denominations....


until then I will cite the "nothing" that some claim started it all.

Nobody here made that claim.

How quickly people forget reality when they need too.

How quickly people tend to strawman and sacrifice their intellectual integrity, when they are desperatly trying to safeguard their dogmatic religious beliefs.

I can make one-liners too.

It never was "out of nowhere" or "out of nothing." You're making that up, but it won't do you any good because we all know it's false.

More made up junk...you can either prove something or not. If it's too hard to prove, it's not provable, simple. Please stop making up excuses for the inability to prove evolution.

Come back when you can prove it, until then you are just wasting my time in saying you don't need to, you can't, or it can't be proven, whatever the excuse of the day.

The only thing that can be "proved" about evolution is the fact that it happened. How it happened is a theory which is subject to confirmation, not "proof." That's the way it is and always has been. That it does not gibe with your ill-informed notions about the scientific method is not evidence that we are trying to trick you.

Cool, then do that.

What a strange comment when no one will step up and prove it.
Easy. There are species once alive on the Earth which no longer exist. There are species alive now which haven't always existed. That is a fact, the fact which the theory of evolution purports to explain.

And I'll be going into town today to get an ice cream cone, but we still haven't proven evolution, not by a long shot.

So you appear to be saying that there are not species once alive on the Earth which no longer exist. That there are not species alive now which haven't always existed. Do I understand you correctly?

Are you just wasting my time because I recently asked someone to stop doing that, or is this completely of your own accord?

LOL! So you agree that there are species once alive on the Earth which no longer exist and there are species alive now which haven't always existed?

Please, if you have something to say, say it, and stop leading up to it with such silly/obvious comments.

What I have to say is that unless you acknowledge the fact of evolution as I have described it, there is no point in discussing any theory of evolution which attempts to explain that fact. Further, that the fact can be proven, the theory can only be confirmed.

OK, if you want to play games, go for it, but I'm not getting a thing out of the conversation.

What do you want to get out of it? Proof of the fact of evolution? Or confirmation of the theory of evolution?

My comment was on your reasoning.

What go you mean "in just that way as you show here"?

I mean that as you reject evidence for evolution so flat earth folks reject evidence for a globular earth. You are as wrong as they are and for the same reasons. The only thing you have over the flat earth folks is there are more evolution deniers in existence than global earth deniers. But science isn't settled by majority popular vote.

Like I did in my previous posts?

Why are you ignoring them?

First you say it cannot be proven, or something to that affect, and now you say what you posted was proof?

I'll keep an eye open for something that makes sense here but until then, you're on your own with whatever it is you're doing...
