Evolution...not really political, maybe controversial

**cls515** · 04-29-2007, 03:24 AM

What are your thoughts on the issue? For the birds? Firm believer?

**rsanz** · 04-29-2007, 04:59 AM

from me.

edit: If I (or anyone) believe in evolution or not, it doesn't make it real or unreal. It also doesn't prove or disprove any particular religion.

It's also not politics or religion, evolution is science. As such it's subject to tests, the scientific method, and is one of the most robust of scientific theories (it's not just a theory).

As far as the mainstream scientific community is concerned there is no debate, it's a fact (like gravity). It has happened and is happening. It's testable, observable, repeatable and the basis of biology and the medical sciences. I'm sure many of us have reaped the benifits of its study and understanding, many without even knowing it.

It certainly isn't in line with some of the more fundamentalist doctrines, but that doesn't have a bearing on whether it's true or otherwise.

Maybe he mean Revolution - as in the revolution that brought Castro to power in Cuba and turned the entire cigar industry on its ear.

That's a good one.

A common misconception about evolution is that humans are descendants of monkeys.

Hardcore creationist here.

Information cannot arise from random events.

I believe in the Big Bang Theory.
God said something
and BANG it happened.

I actually heard a girl say that to a teacher in college one time. I was sitting right next to her and was embarassed for her.

i believe everyone knows where I stand on this matter.

I'm just wondering, not trying to start anything, but how do you guys think evolution started? Like where did everything come from to just start evolution?

Well, what happens is, they take milk, usually from a cow or a goat, and start a process of...oh wait, that's cheese.

I don't know the answer to your question, sorry.
