I Don't Believe In Evolution

I don't understand the arguments,from the point that Charles Darwin called it a Theory and he proved nothing at all! As far as I am aware saying the planet has existed millions of years is also theoretical, there is no proof there has been that much time lapse!

The other thing, being a teacher, I watch children absorb things every day and I find it amazing how they grow in the process of learning and it can't be subject to natural selection of whatever!

So you admit it's too complex for you to understand.

Liar. The theory of evolution has been proven time and again, which is why it is a theory, and not a hypothesis.

More lies. The fact that you have a teaching certificate makes me physically ill. You just dismissed the field of geology in its entirety.

There’s a ton of proof for both evolution and the geological age of the earth. BTW, in science, a “theory” is the highest level of proof there is. You may be confusing it with a hypothesis. The very device you’re reading this on operates by way of circuit theory and Einstein’s theory of relativity corrected Newton’s laws of motion.

You know what?
An argument/discussion works a whole lot better if everybody remains respectful to each other no matter how crazy the other persons side seems to be.
@GeniUs I try. I really do. But it's difficult for me to understand how people can appear to be this insane.

@LordShadowfire I know but you have to rise above it assume a god like superiority and try to teach them as an adult to a kindergartener.
@GeniUs I think a huge part of the reason I seek out places like this is that I need to learn how to do that, but I've always managed to screw it up.

You might want to get an understanding of what a theory is. It's constantly misused like you are doing.

All New scientific beliefs are presented as theories... Then every one like on to either prove it disprove it... The evidence had been stacking up for a century now... There's been revelations on exactly how it works... Improvements... But the basic thrust of it hasn't changed or been disproved

If you have decided that something is not so before you start there will never be a 'proof'. Science only has theories. It constantly tests and revises. The fixed position of belief is called 'dogma' and is quite a different method of thinking.

You are correct

Evolution is a theory

Theories can not be proved, only disproved

So far evolution has inconsistencies which has opened doubts

In the meantime we use evolution as a "fill in" to base other theories upon ... knowing all are weak.

For me ... I have faith to bridge the gaps science has no theories to fill

No. Carbon 14 dating is only good for things no older than about 20 000 years. Other elements, e.g: K-Ar (Potassium - Argon), U-Pb; Rb-r, are used for radiometric dating of older objects. Scientists don't rely on just one method either. Other methods, using different principles, are used to confirm (or disprove) results.
The world didn't exist before I was born cause I wasn't there.

Right... the world was created in the year 0001 😆
