Top 10 signs you don't understand evolution at all.

[pitabread]

To my ears There's a big difference saying CREATION vs evolution

Good for you. Now what does this have to do with anything?

 

[miknik5]

All good, I can imagine it'd come as a big shock to find out you were so completely wrong that you looked somewhat silly...

Remember....

Big Bang

THEORY

GOD's SOVEREIGNTY has a lot to do with EVERY..(perishablechanging)thing

Okay. So what?

What does this have to do with the science of evolution or a recipe for a delicious cake?

THEORY

I'm bracing myself for a torrent of knowledge and wisdom here - What's a scientific theory?

 

[AV1611VET]

What's a scientific theory?

A belief subject to change or falsification?

What's a scientific theory?

Very good question, at least for me at this point in time. While we're waiting for answers to some of out questions, would you care to define it?

I thought I knew what it was but, IDK now.

A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world. - Scientific theory - Wikipedia

And another one -

A scientific theory is an explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can, in accordance with the scientific method, be repeatedly tested, using a predefined protocol of observations and experiments.[1][2] Established scientific theories have withstood rigorous scrutiny and are a comprehensive form of scientific knowledge.[3]

It is important to note that the definition of a "scientific theory" (often ambiguously contracted to "theory" for the sake of brevity, including in this page) as used in the disciplines of science is significantly different from the common vernacular usage of the word "theory".[4][Note 1] In everyday non-scientific speech, "theory" can imply that something is an unsubstantiated and speculative guess, conjecture, idea, or, hypothesis;[4] such a usage is the opposite of the word "theory" in science. These different usages are comparable to the differing, and often opposing, usages of the term "prediction" in science versus "prediction" in vernacular speech, denoting a mere hope.

A theory

Are we being trolled? I feel like we are being trolled.

Based on the observable physical evidence before you

Still it's a backing into an overlay

You can't go back to the beginning before the grime overlayed and changed what was initially pure and perfect

You don't have that evidence before you because you weren't there from the very beginning

You can't start at the starting point but can only observe what time and change (evolution) has already changed

What the heck is "trolled"?

OK, good.

Who does the substantiation? And can we assume that all deemed "scientific theory" are well substantiated?

Seriously? You're posting on an internet forum and you've never heard of trolling?

Now I really *do* think we are being trolled.

This whole list is excellent.

#3 is wrong -- or else SJ Gould didn't understand evolution at all. Plenty of evolutionary biologists think macroevolution includes processes that cannot be adequately described by microevolution. For example, there is a (weak) tendency for lineages of mammals to evolve toward larger size over long periods of time. Larger species also seem to go extinct more easily than smaller ones. This dynamic equilibrium is not well handled by a microevolutionary description.

Other than that, yeah, it's pretty much spot on.

Well, you keep making these claims and quoting your book of claims as if they mean something - but you're really, Really light on evidence...

Trolled?

What the heck is "trolled"?

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal, on-topic discussion,[3] often for the troll's amusement. - Internet troll - Wikipedia

Actually, the more you post, the more I think you could also be a Poe - "A person who writes a parody of a Fundamentalist that is mistaken for the real thing. Due to Poe's Law, it is almost impossible to tell if a person is a Poe unless they admit to it." - Urban Dictionary: Poe

You might even be a combination of the two...

And you very well might be exactly what you have called yourself

Please don't waste your time implying and suggesting of others what and who they might be

It's a theory isnt it?
