a scientific theory is part face and part speculation. otherwise it wouldnt be called a theory.
again im not saying its rubbish im saying its technically still a theory because some questions remain unanswered.
What would it be called, if not a theory? I'm just saying that the premise behind all scientific theories is based on verifiable fact, so the statement that evolution is a fact, is correct. If it was not a fact, there wouldn't be a theory dedicated to it. Now there's obviously more to learn about the details, and if somebody said "the theory of modern evolutionary synthesis is 100% fact in its entirety", they would be wrong, but evolution as a process in nature is indeed a fact. This is why I've been saying that there is no actual evolution vs creation debate and never has been... only stubborn creationists clinging to a literal interpretation of old stories.
the·o·ry noun \ˈthē-ə-rē, ˈthir-ē\
: an idea or set of ideas that is intended to explain facts or events
fact noun \ˈfakt\
: something that truly exists or happens : something that has actual existence
A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation.

You know its a good thread when it lasts this long......
Darwin was wrong......Science is proving that more and more.....

Well in your mind maybe, but not mine.

Uh I guess you didn't look. I stared this thread a DECADE ago. I was commenting that it lasted 10 years. Why? because neither side has given proof they are right. Faith, it is on both sides of this argument.p

originally posted by: Barcs Either way, you still bumped the thread after it was inactive for 5 months and added nothing to it. This has already been substantially proven in this thread. Emotional investment in faith doesn't change that.

As for being proven, its proven in your mind as you already had it made up. No one has shown me an evolutionist reason for only right hand proteins align the way they do. Chance is a funny thing and as an engineer, math comes east or at least it did many moons ago, nonetheless, 10 ^80 is infinity for these type purposes.
