When did evolution begin?

[Loudmouth]

LOL! Evolution is a "theory"

but hey, to each his own.

And like all scientific theories, evolution is supported by evidence, not faith.

So why would I need faith when I have evidence? Why can't you answer this question?

So why would I need faith when evolution is backed by tons of evidence?

Yes, and?

Gravity is a theory, germs are a theory, atoms are a theory. Do I need faith in those? No, of course not as they are supported by huge amounts of evidence and research.

Theory is the highest level is science. You seem to have a problem with the fact that science theories can change. That is the real strength of science, that it can adapt to new evidence and discoveries

Therefore the "highest" level in science is this:

Loudmouth said:
Of course not. A theory is tentative and always open to change.

See post #197.

Perhaps it would be better if you give us an example of something that doesn't require faith.

 

[Loudmouth]

Therefore the "highest" level in science is this:

Correct. Theories are tentative and supported by evidence. Why does being tentative mean that it is based on faith?

to believe in something that is tentative and always open to change sher 'nuff requires "faith" to "believe" in it

 

[Oncedeceived]

Nothing you have said refutes the facts. All of the evidence we do have is consistent with evolution.

So? Consistent with any genetic change in a population that is inherited over several generations? That doesn't change the fact that all we have in evidence are the complex organisms found in the fossil evidence.

Your claims require that life be complex from the very start which is just a conjecture.

It doesn't matter what my claim is, the fact is that the only evidence we have is that of complex organisms with an already with complex functioning systems. That is a fact.

Can I just ask, what's the highest level in school etc that you studied science to?

 

[OliviaMay]

Evolution began when life began.

Science, eh?

It's a got quite an interesting track record, doesn't it?

LOL!

 

[brinny]

Evolution began when life began.

If you say so.

 

[OliviaMay]

If you say so.

I think the answers to most of these questions are pretty obvious.

 

[Oncedeceived]

Yes, there is. It is called DNA replication and nucleotide catabolism:

If you don't think it is natural, then please show us the supernatural forces that are required for this to work.

Once again you ignore what is actually being said, DNA replication has not been shown to naturally occur by natural means according to the laws of chemistry.

LOL!

Yes, without it we wouldn't be havkng this conversation and all of us would be living in a medieval level existence with poor quality of life and much shorter lives.

So when did you stop studying science in any sort of educational setting?

 

[brinny]

I think the answers to most of these questions are pretty obvious.

Perhaps. That would be a matter of opinion, however.

lol. This is all just opinion. How to read the bible is opinion. What it says is opinion. All we humans have is opinions.

Why would it require faith when there is evidence?
