An important aspect of science is being open to and even seeking out that which might disprove your theory.

@walabby Evolution doesn’t [i]create[/i] life (abiogenesis). Evolution is what happens [i][b]after[/b][/i] life has arisen

@newjaninev2 Yeah, I know. I was just trying to keep it simple...

@walabby Evolution works perfectly well as is, so there’s absolutely no purpose in introducing the unnecessary complication of a magical entity... specially as such a magical entity explains nothing (not even itself)

@newjaninev2 Yep. I was just trying to make the point to people that insist on magically entities, that evolution could still have been used. I mean, magical entities can do whatever they want? Right?? :)

@walabby Yes, that’s the very problem with trying to use them as explanations for [i]anything 😂

@walabby

Yup that's true. Which makes it a little silly to deny it on religious grounds if you ask me lol.
But creationists still do it🤷‍♀️

@walabby I used to use that hypothesis to justify being a Christian while believing in evolution. I suspect many other Christians have. Probably Charles Darwin did.

@LordShadowfire Darwin probably did! He was an ordained minister after all.

@Pikachu The catholic church pretends to accept the Theory of Evolution (because they realised that they’re looking ridiculous), but in fact the catholic church:
1. denies that evolution applies to humans
2. touts what it calls 'theistic evolution'... the unsupported and completely superfluous claim that a magical entity directs evolution in order to support some or other goal i.e. that evolution is both teleological and subject to magic.

Either of those bastardisations mean that whatever it is that they claim to accept, it isn't the theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.

To cover their duplicity, they try to create a straw-man called 'biological evolution' (there's some other sort?) and to then differentiate that from 'theistic evolution'... in other words, to deliberately create confusion in the minds of the public by foisting upon them a distinction without a difference.

@newjaninev2

Well i guess it's a step in the right direction, at least lol
