Lol, that last statement of yours was quite the laughable kind. As for you leaning on a theory as fact, thats the more hilarious. If everybody believed theories to be fact, we'd still be in the stone age with the theory that the earth is FLAT. You leaning on the fact its a theory makes it the less strong an argument. I theorize that the center of a black hole is filled with unicorn #. It must be true right? Until you can prove it wrong. As for your lil' comment about Christians, it shows your intellect. Must be a middle school or high school kid out on break. That time of the year again! Just because someone claims to be christian, does not mean they do not believe in science, for I live my life by science. As for a theory that has as many holes in it as it does "facts" for it, well, says enough for itself.
Are you scolding him for leaning on theories when you yourself are—leaning on theories? And why rather than attack his ideas do you resort to ad hominem? tsk tsk.

Yes, think we do not know, we try to research and look for answer, that is science.
not the following "WE HAVE THE ANSWER, NOW STOP RESEARCHING!" < - creationist way of thinking.

Isn't every single person in here leaning on theories though? The truth is, and every credible scientist will admit it, we have ZERO idea how we got where we are. From an empty void in space to blogging? All we can do is theorize.
We humans like to think we have all the answers, creationist, evolutions, whatever. I'd wager in the not to distant future both will be proven wrong.
The real answers to our origins, I assure you, are far stranger than we could "theorize" today.edit on 19-6-2012 by KnawLick because: (no reason given)

So actual scientific research doesn't mean anything, just because it came off of a religious website?
LOL GTFO of here.

That doesn't change the apparent religiosity and dogmatism shown by both interpretations. And in fact science and religion are basically the same thing—an attempt to explain the universe

Thats where its a bit different, Religious cannot prove their belief, its faith, they just have to accpt what was TOLD to them by SOMEONE, 2000yrs ago(varies by religion).
Science is not obey what we tell you, when someone makes a theory and tests it, it goes in middle of scientific community, where peers will repeat the experiment to make sure it is what he says.
For example, if a scientist say, i can take this jelly fish's gene and put it into this E.Coli and make it glow. we can doubt his word and do the test, and if the test prove that infact you can transfer gene from jellyfish to e.coli, then now its more accepts BUT still open to discussion.
There are more scientist to prove a existing theory wrong than a religious person trying to disprove science. That why i love science.
Gravity is a theory, I probable know more about then most. It’s testable and proven, why it works it different story. It even has a mathematicall constant "G" . Evolving from one ancestor to man has not been, it doesn't even have a constant theory.
Abiogenesis, god, etc….abiogenesis is life starting from inorganic matter, so life starting itself. So what is the “etc”, you only have two options God or life created itself…both are extraordinary. What’s happen is in evolution we have only got parts of the picture then are trying to connect the dots, but the dots can connect to forum more than one picture.
Here is bunch…

Sure there is, there is 4 pages of it above, and that is a fraction of the information you can find if you look.
I really don’t enough on migration patterns to comment too much. Its something I will look into, but if are talking about animal behavior symbiosis doesn’t really have a good explanation in Evolution
And here is the population growth info..
You know, I hate that term miroevolution that some creationist use, Why they coined this term I’ll never know. Miroevolution is that animals can adapt to environment base on what genetic information is already available with in there DNA At no time does a single piece of new, ADDITIONAL genetic information develop or evolve. An example of this Bacteria resistance… from an evolutionist…Bacteria don’t “develop” resistance, as if it were a muscle nurtured by going to a microbial gym. Instead, they had it all along, or more accurately a small proportion of them did.
