Why do you believe in the evolution theory?

Look for adverse side effects of vegetarianism.

For instance, if you find yourself starting to lean toward the sunlight, I'd change my diet pronto!

You crack me up AV!

-- Thank you!

 

[MissRowy]

Most welcome. There are some things you say I don't agree with but who said we had to agree on everything?

That's true!

I used to play Euchre all the time on the Internet, until my doctor told me I needed to get some exercise.

So I started bowling all the time on the Internet, and that wasn't good enough either.

So I just decided to come here and pester everybody!

Well everyone has to be good at something.

 

[MissRowy]

Lol. However you were exercising your brain and your fingers does that count??
I think this is getting off topic so im going to leave here.

It's interesting, because during my last doctor's visit, I asked my doctor, a Christian, if he believed in evolution, and he said YES.

Why?

 

[MissRowy]

Everyone has different views towards creationism and evolution. There are people who follow both.

There are only so many different views which are tenable*, these are the only ones that should be in play.

Valid point. To be honest there are parts of both I believe in

Now there's something interesting. I might say that I believe that Jesus is the Son of God (but I cannot think of any scientific/historical evidence which supports it), even though I believe he existed based on certain historical documentation -- his divine nature / supernatural identity are something I accept on the grounds that I have been enabled to accept such a ridiculous notion. Now when it comes to Evolution, there is no such magic in play.
I know there are those who are religious, in the sense that their religion is based solely on the assumption that god/s exist -- and the details are merely assembled like a house of cards upon that. Imho, that is is not what is in play.
So, what parts of Evolution do you agree with?

Well, maybe we can at least get your heart rate a little higher once in a while.

So true!

 

[AV1611VET]

I would even go as far as to say that if anyone tells you that evolution is not a fact they are without a shadow of a doubt completely and absolutely wrong, they are telling you it's wrong because they don't want to believe that it's true.

Was geocentrism a fact at one time? Phlogiston theory? prenatal Thalidomide as a wonder drug? Pluto as our ninth planet? Y2K? It's safe to go back in your homes at L'Aquila? Three Mile Island power-down will just be a routine procedure? smallpox has been wiped out completely?

Were these facts at one time?

Nope -- they were beliefs.

You're familiar with beliefs, aren't you, AV?

 

[AV1611VET]

Nope -- they were beliefs.

Beliefs not supported by facts?

Please show that any of these claims are false without using science.

I'm asking if they were facts at one time?

Were they, or weren't they?

Are you too embarrassed to answer?
