Oh yes, very much so. But they are not proven; there's the slimmest of chances that evolutionary theory is false (for example, if two humans concieve and bear a modern chimpanzee by completely natural means, then no matter how much evidence we have accumulated, the theory must be discarded).
Agreed. I would go so far as to agree with this sentiment:Yes, fact always trumps theory. But first you have to discover the falsifying fact.
Theory is never "proven". A theory is based on evidence. You can prove things in logic, not in science.
OTOH, one does get to the state that refusal to acknowledge a well-evidenced theory as "fact" is an exercise in intellectual perversity.
Agreed. I would go so far as to agree with this sentiment:
"It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane." - Richard Dawkins
As I shared with my professors years ago when I was in college, if all the evidence in the universe turns against creationism, I would be the first to admit it, but I would still be a creationist because that is what the Word of God seems to indicate. Here I must stand.
Now you're being ridiculous. Come on, get real, that's more like science fictionProve that god didn't make the universe last Thursday with all of our memories implanted.
No! You're wrong, very wrong...Evolution has never been proven and any scientist that says that it has is full of hot air. To prove a theory, it has to be able to be duplicated. Evolution has never been proven in such a manner. It can't happen.Evolution is proven....

To prove a theory, it has to be able to be duplicated.
No: a theory is never proven. It can be evidenced to the point where it's almost certainly true, but it can never be demonstrated with 100% certainty.No!

In fact, evolution has been duplicated. Evolution is a change in the traits of a population from one generation to the next. A way that biological systems can evolve is under selective pressures. This is what Darwin's original theory was about; people have done that to many species, and nature itself has done that to even more.No!

Have you ever heard of annular eclipses? Sad to say but the sun and the moon don't always appear the same size. A slight imperfection in the perfect creation, eh?When the moon is between the sun and the earth and casts its shadow on the earth, a solar
eclipse takes place. Due to an uncanny coincidence, the moon and sun appear in our sky to
be exactly the same size. Sure, the moon is 400 times smaller than the sun, but it also
just happens to be exactly 400 times closer. Strange, but true. Thus it is possible for
the lunar disk to precisely cover the sun when the alignment is just right.
This alone is enough to dispose of the the idea that the universe came to be by natural processes (no Creator).
Oh no, the eye again.Consider the human eye, a bird in flight, the circulatory system, human brain ....so many other facts that demand a creator.
It is absolutely ludicrous to believe that the universe came to be through random chance without a Designer. It takes much more faith to believe in evolution with no Creator than "In the beginning, God created".
PRATT & strawman list snipped
Replace those 'exactly's with 'approximately's, and you've got a point. However, consider all the coincidences that could have been, but by some quirk of nature, didn't. This is just one of those coincidences that, in our lifetimes, happen to exist. Think about it: the Moon is constantly moving away from the Earth, so there's bound to be a period of time in which Total Eclipses occur.When the moon is between the sun and the earth and casts its shadow on the earth, a solar

I don't see how. See above, or explain your reasoning.This alone is enough to dispose of the the idea that the universe came to be by natural processes (no Creator).
All fascinating products of evolution from simpler systems.Consider the human eye, a bird in flight, the circulatory system, human brain ....
Not really. They are all products of evolution.so many other facts that demand a creator.
Perhaps, but that doesn't make it any less true. Since when did the universe bow to be comprehensive enough for you to grasp?It is absolutely ludicrous to believe that the universe came to be through random chance without a Designer.
Why?It takes much more faith to believe in evolution with no Creator than "In the beginning, God created".
Then post the url as text.the sun and the moon don't always appear the same size. A slight imperfection in the perfect creation, eh?
Don't have enough posts to link to external site showing total solar eclipse, but looks pefectly aligned to me!
Which means sod all if your can't justify the truth of Romans 1:19-22 (and no, just saying 'God said it, therefore it's true' doesn't count: you have to then justify that God did say it).As stated in the New Testement book of Romans :
19For the truth about God is known to them instinctively. God has put this knowledge in their hearts. 20From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualitieshis eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God.
21Yes, they knew God, but they wouldnt worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. The result was that their minds became dark and confused. 22Claiming to be wise, they became utter fools instead.
Have you read all I've said? Because I recall mentioning annular eclipses... Click the link and tell me, are these two objects the same apparent size?Don't have enough posts to link to external site showing total solar eclipse, but looks pefectly aligned to me!
I don't give a damn what's stated in any book unless you give me good reason to accept it.As stated in the New Testement book of Romans :
