Evolution is theoretical science.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

evolution basically means that species can change over time. this isn't just theoretical and can be observed in modern day. that is how Dog is one species yet there are so many variations to it. breeders can breed dogs to develop desirable traits, like being taller. this is artificial selection which is evolution.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Evidence suggesting evolution can be observed, but not evolution itself, and if I didn't believe in evolution (which I do, don't worry) you couldn't say I was wrong wrong to argue that God or whatever, just made it like that, because there is no definite evidence for either arguments. Because theists ruin every logical argument by saying it's probably just magic.

well yes evolution is a process that takes place over a very long period of time, but it is backed up by the fossil record, DNA testing, etc. isn't that evidence? if you "believe" in evolution why did you disagree with the post? and theists do not ruin everything by saying it is "magic." magic has nothing to do with religion. christianity is also backed up by a lot of evidence. i am a christian and can accept that while Ggod created the world and life, evolution is a science that explains a lot.

I disagreed with the post because not believing in evolution is not the same as not believing in biology, at all. and just because people don't use the word magic, that doesn't mean that that isn't what they're claiming it to be.

It ISNT what they are claiming it to be. and evolution is a branch of science. biology is a branch of science. so yes it is very similar. the point is people just think "evolution? oh that means we evolved from apes. that's dumb i don't believe in that," when really it is a science that involves so much more and explains a lot. you can't just decide you don't believe in it, especially when you are misinformed

Evolution is studied as part of many fields. You study evolution in biology. You study it in astronomy. You study it in oceanography. It can be a field of it's own, but for the most part unless you decide to go down that track, evolution is not a general science course. And there in lies the difference

I'm not disputing the fact (probably wrong word to use) that it is a THEORY. But so is the theory of gravity. And the big bang theory. And cell theory, and atomic theory, and plate tectonics. No one should go around saying "Evolution is fact," because it's not fact. But it's a different type of theory than, say, the theory that 9/11 was planned by the US government as an excuse to invade Afghanistan. As a comment below mine stated, "Evolution is a theory. End of story." No, it's not the end of the story. Theory doesn't make it more ambiguous or more wrong.

Ok morons. Evolution is a fact. Plain and simple. Evolution means change over time. Are you the same as when you were a baby? No. Has the human race gotten taller since the twelfth century. Yes. These are examples of evolution. The theory of evolution is the theory that we came from apes. This is a theory and I believe it to be incorrect. But evolution itself is fact.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Do some research before you call people morons. Evolution (also known as biological or organic evolution) is the change over time in one or more inherited traits found in populations of organisms. It does not refer specifically to humans, and it is a SCIENTIFIC THEORY. Not a fact. But it doesn't need to be a fact to be accurate. Just curious: if we didn't come from apes, where did we come from? How old is Earth?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I know that it is not specifically reffering to humans. I was just giving examples of how we have evolved. And I personally believe in intelligent design.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

No, those are examples of the process of natural selection making changes to the average phenotype of the human species. It is NOT an example of one species turning into an entirely different, unrelated species by the process of mutations in the genetic code. I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology, and I do not believe in evolution. Even in the 10-15 billion years that the universe has been in existence, there is not sufficient time by probability for single-celled organisms to have evolved into all of the species we see in existence today. The odds are so astronomically improbable as to essentially be impossible. I could bore you with further explanations but unfortunately amirite limits the comment size so I can't. I do believe Biologists will eventually abandon evolution and come up with a new theory, but they will not acknowledge the obvious problems with the theory until they have a new theory to replace it.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

What on earth are you talking about? Natural selection is simply saying survival of the fittest - it is factually observable in everyday life. Evolution, on the other hand, is making the claim that one species can accumulate enough positive mutations in the genetic code (causing observable changes in the functioning of the organism) that natural selection is then able to act on those positive changes, selecting for them, and thereby favoring organisms with that particular mutation and eventually creating a new species. I do not believe in evolution because of the improbability of positive mutations being able to accumulate among a species. It is a statistical improbability.

I did not specialize in evolution specifically, but I believe my education would make me far more qualified to speak on the subject than the majority of the high schoolers on this website spouting about a subject they know nothing about. Just look at the other person who responded to me and believes that natural selection is equivalent to evolution. Case in point.

No, it's the other way around: changing your genetic information changes the way you look and function. But the genetic information can be changed in many different ways. Genetic variety is arranging the existing information differently, while evolution needs new information. For example, a fish can have a variety of eyes, fins and gills, because the existing genetic information can be arranged differently, but it needs to get lots of new information before it can grow legs and lungs.

Natural selection and adaptation are not things you "believe" in. They're facts. It's something that can be observed. However Macro-evolution, is different from that. It's not something that has been observed or can be observed now. So you can't put it under the same classification.

That's a bait-and-switch argument that evolutionists use; they give an example of genetic variety and say that it proves evolution, but it only proves natural selection.

Genetic diversity is not evolution since no new information is added (search "Genetic diversity" on Wikipedia if you don't like the site I linked to) 3. Science is not law, science is observing, testing and analysing. 4.

The links you posted explain that new information is added through mutations. But mutations are accidents in the genetic code, kinda like a typo, so it is a loss of information unless the typo changes a good thing into something better (which doesn't happen). And no, evolution is not caused by natural selection OR mutations, it's caused by natural selection AND mutations, because natural selection is a selective and not a creative force. And the few existing examples of "positive" mutations ARE actually loss of information, unlike what your sources say: http://creation.com/mutations-q...ns-and-answers

Oh and everyone already understands what you think Scientific Theory means, but if you actually did Google it then you'd realize that it's by no means an official term. Rather it's a Wikipedia-level term used to identify the cross-use of Theory and Hypothesis in common language. It does not in turn mean that Scientific Theory is some MEGA Theory that is so strictly defined that we can call it fact. In fact, if Scientific Theory was an official and strictly used term, then that would be even worse for your argument, because nowhere is it referred to as the "Scientific Theory of Evolution". You just decided that because it's called a theory and is in the field of Science. The majority of people on here will agree that Evolution is the most likely scenario based on the limited information that we know, or at the very least that even if we disagree with it, we understand the concept. But at the end of the day, unless you are the leading scientist on the subject, you are essentially believing the theory because of someone else telling you that it's true. You haven't personally seen the evolutionary links to the extent that you can definitively PROVE that it happened. You have only heard a rough explanation of the original theory, and then decided that you'll have FAITH in the really smart scientist guy. But regardless, intellectual conversation isn't supposed to be about passionately taking sides on a subject you barely understand; that's what leads to honest men dying for corupt politicians in the exploited name of Religion.
