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.

It's not a scientific fact . It's still a theory. A theory that can't be proven either way enough to satisfy everyone.

@Repete that's just semantics surrounding the word 'fact'. What is clearly meant here is: 'essentially undeniably what actually happened'.
@Repete

Let me ask you something: is it a fact that germs are a primary cause of human disease?
Repete · 61-69, M
@Pikachu there are good germs and bad germs
Benarro · 31-35, M
@Repete how does this statement negate Pikachu's one above it?
Repete · 61-69, M
@Benarro I didn't say it did , did I .
I'm not going to argue about something you cannot prove .
@Repete

Yup, that's true but I didn't ask you if all germs are bad and that's not pertinent to this topic.
I asked you if it is a fact that germs are the predominant cause of human disease.
Yes or no?
Repete · 61-69, M
@Pikachu germs have no pertinent to proveing how evolution started but it is another theory
@Repete

[quote] germs have no pertinent to proveing how evolution started[/quote]

Agreed. Never said they did.

[quote]but it is another theory[/quote]

Exactly.
It's the germ [i]theory[/i] of disease.

And that's why i want you to answer the question [i]directly[/i] this time.

It's a yes or no question. Please answer it with a yes or no and then elaborate if you wish.

Is a fact that germs are the predominant cause of human disease?
@Repete

So...yes or no?
@Repete

Am i correct in assuming that your silence proves my point?
Repete · 61-69, M
@Pikachu you used the right word assuming. What do they say about assuming . My silence is me not getting into this arguement . You beleive what you want . Have a nice day .
@Repete

I asked if i was correct in my assumption.
The implicit invitation being for you to correct me if i was wrong in that assumption.

Nevertheless, i think i have proven my point.

1) You said evolution is a theory and not a fact.
2) I pointed out that while it's a fact the germs cause disease, it's still known as the germ theory of disease.
3) You acknowledge this fact but refuse to apply the same logic to evolution.

Point proven, yes?

Feel free to reply if any of that is in error.
If not, have a pleasant evening.

You need to learn what's meant by a Theory in the scientific sense.

@suzie1960 one comment . Then all theories must be fact in your eyes . I'm not getting into this again . Have a nice day
