Just because something isn't proven doesn't mean it isn't a fact. As I say, come up with conflicting evidence.
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.
Good for him. What about all the well educated people with no agenda who disagree with him, including Christians?
a flat earth has been discredited. an unmoving earth has been discredited. genesis has been discredited. exodus has been discredited and it has nothing to do with evolution.They are using this theory to discredit Genesis which also discredits the genealogy of Christ.
Your words.To them we are fools regardless.
And who are these "well educated people" you talk about?
I never said that all the books I read about evolution said it was a philosophy.
Anything that is not proven is not a fact. Ask any court of law.
I have read this claim about 10 times in the last two weeks by atheists. And I have many books about evolution that point out the fallacies of their claims, one of which is that they claim the fossil record proves evolution.
As they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
If that is the case, then providing proof won't be too hard for you but I am not going to hold my breath.
What is the fossil record?
The fossil record refers to the collection of physical and research evidence that paleontologists and geologists have used to prove the veracity of evolutionary theory. The physical evidence in the fossil record comes from fossilized remains of prehistoric animals.
Fossils provide a unique view into the history of life by showing the forms and features of life in the past. Fossils tell us how species have changed across long periods of the Earth’s history. For instance, in 1998, scientists found a fossil showing an animal at the transition from sea creature to land creature. This tetrapod had a hand-like fin, confirming a prediction of evolutionary biology. Though the fossil record does not include every plant and animal that ever lived, it provides substantial evidence for the common descent of life via evolution. The fossil record is a remarkable gift for the study of nature. - See more at: https://biologos.org/common-questions/scientific-evidence/fossil-record/#sthash.G4JZlaDz.dpuf
The fossil record, nonetheless, remains crucial to unfolding major and minor branching points of the great tree of life. Without fossils, inferring when genotype change occurred requires the use of the molecular clock hypothesis, which states that nucleotide or amino acid substitutions (mutations) occur at a constant rate. In other words, the amount of difference between two sequences can be used to infer when in geological time that ancestral sequence diverged occurred, thereby forming a phylogenetic branching point. Actually, the rate of mutation differs among groups of organisms, among genes, and even among different portions of the same gene. Because of this, molecular clocks used in molecular phylogenetics must be calibrated with fossils to ascertain when groups and clades of organisms appeared. To repeat, the fossil record is absolutely critical for calibration in phylogenetics.
The fossil record is one of the most common evidences given for evolution. It is named as such in the National Curriculum for Key Stage 4 Science and so features in most syllabuses and textbooks at this level and above.
Fossil record,history of life as documented by fossils, the remains or imprints of the organisms from earlier geological periods preserved in sedimentary rock. In a few cases the original substance of the hard parts of the organism is preserved, but more often the original components have been replaced by minerals deposited from water seeping through the rock. Occasionally the original material is simply removed, while nothing is deposited in its place; in this case, all that remains is a mould of the shape of the plant or animal.
The study of fossils across geological time, how they were formed, and the evolutionary relationships between taxa (phylogeny) are some of the most important functions of the science of paleontology.
These articles do.
Let's try a blunt approach here:
NO SCIENTIFIC THEORY IS EVER PROVEN!
Again,
NO SCIENTIFIC THEORY IS EVER PROVEN!
There - does that make a difference at all?
The fossil record provides evidence for the theory of evolution, it does not "prove" it, because................
NO SCIENTIFIC THEORY IS EVER PROVEN!
If science cannot prove ANYTHING why do you atheists make such asinine statements that it does?
Anything that is not proven is not a fact. Ask any court of law.
This might be part of the problem here. Scientific terminology and legal terminology are not the same.Anything that is not proven is not a fact. Ask any court of law.
More and more - week after week - discoveries are being made that contradicts their claims
