Catholic Church accepts evolution, Catholics are the majority Christian denomination. All of the big denoms I can think of accept it too, Anglos, Orthos, (iirc) the Uniting church does...Come on. You have got to do better than this. You cannot make claims that the majority of christians accept evolution when you have no evidence at all that it is true. All you can say it is my opinion that the majority of christians accept evolution but I have no proof so it is no more than my opinion.
Once again, even if what you say is true, that doesn't effect the morality or otherwise of the theory of evolution.
Happily. However it is very strong evidence, and unless someone can present compelling evidence against it, it is, for all practical intents "proven" (as short hand)If, as they claim science doesn't deal in proof, they have to stop saying that the fossil record is proof of evolution.
"The theory of evolution by natural selection, first formulated in Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859, is the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits. Changes that allow an organism to better adapt to its environment will help it survive and have more offspring. "

Nope.A nice red herring to avoid the obvious.
Not trueNot trueI'm religious and see no conflict between evolution and Christianity.
Just because something isn't proven doesn't mean it isn't a fact.But that is only a theory as nothing is proven in science so we are told. That being the case atheists and anyone else who accepts the theory of evolution as fact is on sinking sand.
It doesn't lack credible evidence. There's tonnes of credible evidence.You see no conflict with agreeing to a worldly theory that lacks credible evidence? The theory causes division, contradicts biblical timeline, asserts that man evolved from a primitive ape beast, and lacks credible evidence.

The shifting sands of evolution. I have noticed that whenever they are up the creek without a paddle they usually say. "yes but..." and then produce some weird theory to cover their tracks about the weird theory they have been called out on. In other words, you are right and I can't prove you wrong so I will have to produce a red herring.
Good for him. What about all the well educated people with no agenda who disagree with him, including Christians?David Berlinski is a well educated atheist, and he doesn't believe that the evolution theory is credible science. He has no agenda, no religion.
Nope, tonnes of evidence. In pretty much every single field of scientific inquiry.Tons of speculation you mean.

Don't play debate by dictionary, especially with scientific usages.Sorry but you can't have it both ways. Either it is proven or it is not and judging by the all the red herrings thrown up by those who have an absolute belief in evolution, it sounds to me that it is wishful thinking. It is either theory or it is fact.
Theory is a contemplative and rational type of abstract or generalizing thinking, or the results of such thinking.
Fact; something that truly exists or happens : something that has actual existence
No. Science never proves anything, ever. That doesn't mean something can't be considered plausible. Gravity is "just" a theory, yet it's plausible enough to stop people jumping off cliffs.I understand how theory works, but at some point it can be proven with evidence, or at least accepted as plausible.
