I think evolution is theology of aliens and something like that Predator character. And no, those neanderthal skulls and ape fangs do not match with my skull.
I asked the same thing of these guys as to what would happen to all that other evidence about our moon, should one of the six theories be found to be the correct one, and it was like inviting these guys to play verbal Twister.
No, you didn't.No AV, I answered the moon question very clearly to you.
That's not what I asked.When one of the hypotheses of the formation of the moon gets more evidence the others will lose support.
Oh, for pity's sake -- here we go.When continental drift ...
That's neat.... was first proposed very few people accepted it because the only evidence supporting it was the fit between the continents, mainly between South America and Africa.
That's neat.With time, evidence to support it piled up and now continental drift is widely accepted.
No, you didn't.
That's not what I asked.
Should one be shown to be the correct one, what happens to the evidence that supported the other five?
Suppose #6 (Two Moon Theory) is found to the the right one; what happens to this moon that supposedly tried to pass us and was captured in our gravitational field? what happens to this comet that hit us and ejected mass into orbit that accreted into our moon? what happens to the excess matter that formed our moon at the same time our earth was formed?
Each theory has its own locker of evidence, and I would like to know what happens to those evidence lockers, once one theory is shown to be correct?
Oh, for pity's sake -- here we go.
That's neat.
Did continental drift vie with 5 other theories, each with its own locker of evidence to support it?
That's neat.
And yet again, from nasa.gov:That's neat. It doesn't matter how many times you repeat it, they are not theories. They are hypotheses.
Any theory which explains the existence of the Moon must naturally explain the following facts:
Simply put, evolution works!Hello,
If you're a serious evolutionist, explain the proven facts of evolutionary theory I will explain my OEC points.
Oh.I can find 10 religious websites that say the Bible is wrong.
Then show us where the Bible is "wrong". What you can do is show websites where they have a wrong interpretation or wrong understaning of the Bible. Look at all the people that believe evolution is right and yet we know it is wrong. To know right from wrong you must have the mind of Christ and understand or know the Divine Thoughts of God.I can find 10 religious websites that say the Bible is wrong.

16For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. cor 4
Mind if I do the same, then?It was written for children, so they simplified it to just theories in order not to confuse them.
Way to bring the discussion completely off-topic. The reason why I posted what I did was because AV found a website with an error and keeps using it as "proof" that he is right. My point is, there are many erroneous websites. That is all.
By the way, citing the Bible does not prove the Bible to be right. All religious books out there claim to be the right one.
Mind if I do the same, then?
I mean -- the point is the same, right?
Whether it is called a theory or an hypothesis, does that change where these lockers of evidence go?
And for the record, there are no theories as to how we got our moon? is that you guys' point?

All religious books are not the Bible.
The Bible validates itself through fulfilled prophecy.
1. Does an hypothesis have to be supported by evidence?Yes, that is our point. These are not theories, only hypotheses. Hypotheses must be tested and supported with evidence before they can be called theories. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon, that is all. Evidence is evidence and does not change. In order for a hypothesis to become a theory it has to be supported by several lines of evidence.
Let's go back to continental drift for a second. Initially, it was almost entirely based on the fact that the continents fit together. While it was based only on that, it remained a hypothesis, as there are other possible ways of getting continents that fit together. But when other evidence came up supporting it (mineral formations matching among continents, magnetic anomalies in sea floor rocks, the discovery of mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones), it became accepted and is now a theory.
Other hypotheses that explained the fit between continents (like the expanding earth hypothesis) had no additional support and were dismissed.
The initial observation that generated those hypotheses (the fact that continents fit together like puzzle pieces) remains the same.
Yes -- his answer actually makes sense.CabVet said more than I could of hoped.
1. Does an hypothesis have to be supported by evidence?
2. I take it a theory does have to be supported by evidence, then?
