I Accept the Theory of Evolution
Just A Theory? Do You Even Science?... I don't believe in evolution, I accept it as a scientific theory.
In science, a theory holds more weight than just a fact does. A theory is not something we think of in the middle of the night after too much coffee and not enough sleep, that is an idea.
A theory in science means a large body of information that has stood a lot of testing.
consists of a number of different hypothesis and many different lines of evidence which show clear consistency.
a theory is something that has been tested many times, then is built on, revised and continues to be reworked in order to give an accurate representation of reality.
no theory is ever regarded as absolute truth.
theories are only well supported, testable explanations that provide natural explanations for natural phenomenon.
all scientific explanations are tentative because the search for knowledge is always blind.
science is about discovering the unknown, about what we don't know.
Theories have predictive ability, theories are ba<x>sed on observation, deduction, consistency and evidence by physical process that we know and understand.
testing is blind and lacks fixed ideas. If the testing isn't blind, it's not science. It is not a search for an explanation.
Supernatural causation is not a part of science because there is no way to test it. There is no evidence for the supernatural and no predictive ability which can be tested in reality.
You can not use it to explain the natural world.
Science can not be built on a negative argument.

Adaptation is evolution. when a population gets geographically divided, eventually the changes accumulated through genetic variation becomes great enough that two descendants that share a common ancestor can no longer reproduce. They are now two different kinds, two different species. Evolution doesn't explain origins, it only provides a way to explain why there is variation in species and proves that all animals share a common ancestor with each other.
No scientists will state that nothing can create something nor does evolution support that in any way.
Evolution is supported heavily by the fossil record and genetics. If even one fossil was out of place in the geological record, the entire theory would be proven false. So far that has not happened.
The cells of all great apes, like chimpanzees, gorillas, and the orangutang contain 24 paris of chromosomes. if humans share a common ancestry with them, you would expect us to have the same number. but surprisingly humans cells only contain 23 pairs. Typicall on the ends of every chromosome, you should find genetic markers called telomeres, in the middle you should find a different genetic markers called centromeres. but if the mutation occured in the past causing two pairs of chromosomes to fuse, we should find evidence in those genetic markers. Finding a structure like this would explain why humans have one pari fewer than the great apes. It exists in chromosome number two. All the mutations predicted by common descent by means of natural selection are present on human chromosome number two. Evolution has made a testable prediction and it has passed. Modern genetics and molecular biology support the theory of evolution in great detail.
