Yes, because I'm not stupid.

Ignorance=/= stupidity.
In the age of information, ignorance is a choice. A rather stupid choice.

No because the theory of evolution stands behind me.


Don't stand in front of it, it will run you over, then never pay your medical bills. Cheap bastard.

There's a lot of evidence to support the scientific theory so it wouldn't surprise me that many consider it fact.

Yes, of course I stand behind it.


Um... It's a scientific theory, you even acknowledged that. That means it is a collection of ideas supported by facts. So yes it is essentially fact. That is what a scientific theory is. It doesn't get any more than that, it just... evolves as new and more relevant facts are brought forward to support it.

Of course most people say... "it's only a theory". This is your que to no longer engage these imbeciles in conversation.
They fail to see that Evolution will never become a law.


Evolution is a law.

The Theory of Evolution is the explanation of the law through observed events.

and no one argues those two points. The item people argue is the theory of abiogenesis, which is the theory that life started with a single living object (or among several such creations at relatively the same time). Additionally, that said life is capable of developing into such complex and diverse modern organisms.

I see merit in some anti-abiogenetical arguments, however, none of them have ever been written by an evolutionary scientist.

1. Well, that poll was a close one
2. It is impossible for an intelligent person to disregard the theory of evolution. There is far too much evidence that supports it.

Yes, it is.

Evolution happens. Therefore, it is a law. The Theory is the explanation of how the law is effected upon the natural world.

IIRC Law = has a formula tacked onto it IE motion, thermodynamics, conservation of energy/matter, etc.

"We live in a special time; the only time where we can observationally verify that we live in a very special time" - Lawrence Krauss.

I was a finalist :P

People tend to have a lot of misconceptions about facts in science. Scientific fact is objective and is based on verified observations, as opposed to a theory which is intended to explain facts. So in essence, evolution is classed as a fact by many evolutionary biologists with natural selection being the theory which explains it.

The great thing though is that the theory is subject to change when new evidence is provided, due to the scientific method.

I... I QUOTED the article in which a law is defined... The definition was IN my post... The existence of Evolution and its observed properties are the law itself...

Key

A scientific law is a statement based on repeated experimental observation that describes some aspect of the world. A scientific law always applies under the same conditions, and implies that there is a causal relationship involving its elements.Refer to the latter sentence (underlined for your convenience). You cannot show that evolution can and will happen in every species in every sort of situation that would cause a beneficial mutation, thus proving it is so incredibly improbable that calling it impossible is the closest thing you can get to how improbable it is.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

Are you asking this because we had this same discussion almost a week ago....?

(just take a guess at who I am OP)
Ah, I know who you are. No, I'm currently in a debate with an individual and I just wanted to see how many people here back up evolution.

The people attacking evolution do, unless their parents are blocking websites and monitoring what they buy.

I believe in evolution but I hate to think of some of the earlier hominids that we evolved from.
