What is your best counter evidence for evolution? Evolution is a scientific fact. Just like gravity. We can see that it happens [Spirituality & Religion]

NO one can give evidence against evolution. The very BEST a creationist can do is to make an argument from ignorance which boils down to "I don't understand how x could happen naturally, therefore god is responsible".

But i'm open to being proven wrong.

because it's a 'theory' and theory means it's just a theory right? cos it's only a theory.

@Benarro Are you trolling, or are they seriously not teaching you kids the scientific method in middle school anymore? Because I've been seeing some distressing evidence that the latter may actually be the case over the last few years.

@Keraunos Never mind, undetected sarcasm owing to my own error, it seems.
@Benarro

lol sadly this is a misunderstanding that i [i]still[/i] hear repeated by the creationist

@Keraunos yes, if you see my other comment on this thread yes, you're right it's sarcastic. sorry to not have any context there ;) but I wanted a 'cold open'.

@Benarro I mean, the most recent comment was someone saying this, but seriously, so I suppose could justify the effort I put in here by copy+pasting my first response under his with slight modifications.

@Keraunos right!! I just noticed that.
@Benarro

Oh no worries, i got it.
I actually always start by assuming such a comment is being made ironically. It's the more charitable approach lol

@Pikachu [quote]sadly this is a misunderstanding that i still hear repeated by the creationist[/quote]
I'm not sure it is a misunderstanding. In most cases I believe it's a deliberate attempt to dismiss the evidence. Some creationists claim to be highly qualified scientists so they know what the term means, it's not credible that they would misunderstand it.
@suzie1960

Well there are definitely some who refuse to acknowledge the meaning of theory but i do believe that many people are still genuinely ignorant.
