I do it a little differently. I check what God says, and go with that. Worth a try? You might find it easier to sleep at night, too.Do you often say your opinion is "God's way"?
Why not just accept it God's way?

The Bible is not a science textbook. The solution is simple and it's right in front of you.Let me know when you grow up.
There's really nothing that can happen to one here, that can't get worse by one getting upset and verbally abusive.Let me know when you grow up.
If you mean we have watched a species change from one to another, you are wrong. Else, prove it.
"In everyday use, the word "theory" often means an untested hunch, or a guess without supporting evidence.
But for scientists, a theory has nearly the opposite meaning. A theory is a well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can incorporate laws, hypotheses and facts
"A theory is a carefully thought-out explanation for observations of the natural world that has been constructed using the scientific method, and which brings together many facts and hypotheses."
I'll look around for one that is short and to the pointCould you present one or more of their arguments and evidence here? The videos blather around, but don't really make much sense to me.
Just pull out whatever you consider the best argument and present it here. On the other hand, if you don't understand it well enough to present it, you might consider why you think it's a good argument. Just do your best and we'll look at it. This isn't a video reviewing site.I'll look around for one that is short and to the point
You don't think God created the first living things? That's what Darwin thought. But since evolution isn't about the origin of life, it doesn't matter. No matter how it started, evolution would still work the same way we see it working now.Too many unproven links with the first being the creation of a living "thing" from non-living matter.
This is something that is normally taught in science classes in public schools. Scientific method, hypotheses, theories, laws. Not exactly rocket science. A person with at least a middle-school education should know these things.I think in the future, if you want the public to understand something that science takes for granted, the explanations have to be brought down to the common man's level not the other way around.

Though reticent about his religious views, in 1879 he responded that he had never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a god, and that generally "an Agnostic would be the more correct description of my state of mind." He further stated that "Science has nothing to do with Christ, except insofar as the habit of scientific research makes a man cautious in admitting evidence. For myself, I do not believe that there ever has been any revelation. As for a future life, every man must judge for himself between conflicting vague probabilities."
I didn't do well when it came to the scientific method, hypotheses, theories and laws. In my eyes, it was nonsense. I only wanted to know about dinosaurs. I have a very selective learning mind. If it is boring, it goes in one ear and out the other. If it is something I'm interested in, I'm hyper focused but I only retain a small amount of info unless I dwell on it many many times. It's funny how I didn't want to learn about the scientific method, hypotheses, theories and laws when I was young. It's as if I knew then that that stuff was meaningless to prove pointsThis is something that is normally taught in science classes in public schools. Scientific method, hypotheses, theories, laws.

It's essential to science. Otherwise you might as well accept YE creationism, flat Earth, and Bigfoot.I didn't do well when it came to the scientific method, hypotheses, theories and laws. In my eyes, it was nonsense.
Well, you could always reject that stuff and toss your computer, modern medicine, automobiles, and the like, and go back to living without science.It's funny how I didn't want to learn about the scientific method, hypotheses, theories and laws when I was young.

It's funny that YECs, who so frequently idolize their leaders, assume that scientists do the same for notable scientists.Your paragon...
I'm answering this post AFTER your post mentioning scientific theory, hypotheses, ... Back in my day in middle school this "universal common descent" was called evolution. There was no such thing as "universal common descent" back when I went to high school or at least they didn't teach it.This is true. But you're talking about universal common descent, not evolution. Evolution is an observed phenomenon. A fact. Macroevolution is an observed fact. But until we could analyze DNA, we weren't certain that common descent was true. Even Darwin suggested that there might have been any number of originally created organisms. We understand how evolution works. While every new bit of evidence continues to confirm universal common descent of all life on Earth, we will never be absolutely certain. Being 99.9% sure, is not absolute certainty. Likewise, we can't be absolutely certain the sun will continue to shine tomorrow. But we are very, very confident that it will. For the same reason we are very, very confident of common descent.
Which isn't unusual, like how "clutch" means something different in sports than it does in auto engineering.Okay, I see now that science has a totally different view of the word theory.
You're very welcome.I don't argue against that anymore; thank you for clarifying the differences.
We can disagree and that's okay.I haven't changed my mind on evolution though. I still don't believe that Homo sapiens started out as one celled protozoans or protocells and through billions of years of "evolution" became man. Too many unproven links with the first being the creation of a living "thing" from non-living matter.
We also live in an age where just about everything is just a few clicks away. Googling "what does theory mean in science" instantly gives tons of links and material to read through.I think in the future, if you want the public to understand something that science takes for granted, the explanations have to be brought down to the common man's level not the other way around.
One of the things to keep in mind with testing abiogenesis(which is a distinct hypothesis that does not overlap with Evolution): We are preparing to test Abiogenesis predictions on at least 3-4 other solar bodies.I'll look around for one that is short and to the point.
When I was in high school in the 60s, the basketball coach taught biology. And he knew the difference. This was in Iowa; I can't speak for places like Mississippi or Arkansas. But there really is no excuse not to know.I'm answering this post AFTER your post mentioning scientific theory, hypotheses, ...

They did in my HS. And it wasn't a very good school district for Iowa.There was no such thing as "universal common descent" back when I went to high school or at least they didn't teach it.
Comes down to evidence. And every time we test it, it works.As for the DNA, it's an iffy way to connect the dots, in my eyes.
