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.

Evolution is the theory of how things change and adapt in the natural world. Survival of the fittest. It is not fact, but as close as can be determined.

@hertoy is anything a 'fact' according to this standard? Can you name a true one (again held to this standard)?
hertoy · 70-79, M
@Benarro No. Reason being you can test it a million times,( example 2+3 = 3+2 ), and get the same answer, but how about 10 million? A trillion? It is therefore a theory.

@hertoy my point is that if you're strict enough then nothing is a fact at all - even something like: 'paracetamol lowers fevers' - but basically anyone would call that a 'fact'- formally speaking it is not, nothing is. You seem to be suggesting that there is no experimental evidence for Evolution - do you think that's true?

@Benarro Until such time every other competing theory of evolution is DISPROVED, evolution must remain a theory. It is the leading candidate with 90%+ positive following.

@hertoy that's not true, experiments are built to remove all other variables, including chance (apart from literally magic): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b3jENUXxAg
