Quote:Question Sounds like you have to have a lot of faith to believe this Religion yes/no?
Lets examine this simple thing with some simple science.Feel free to dispute anything I list as fact that you disagree with.
Fact - man exists today (he is observable.)
Fact - a fossil record exists from previous times (also observable)
Fact - man doesn't exist in the early fossil record.
Fact - DNA is the basic building block of life (all living creatures have DNA which makes them unique species)
Fact - We have observed creatures become new species unable to mate with other descendents of the same ancestors. (fruit flies)
Fact - DNA can change or mutate during propogation from parent to child.
Fact - some mutations are not viable but others are.
Fact - a single lab is not even 1/billionth of the size of the entire earth's volume that is inhabitable by life.
Fact - the lab animals used in evolution experiments are less than 1/billionth of the number of those animals in the world.
Proposition - Based on these facts (and thousands more) it is likely that man evolved from early creatures.
Based on the 9 facts I listed above find a theory that is more likely than evolution. The theory should account for every one of my listed facts.
Is my proposition faith based? or a logical assumption based on the facts I know? This is a simple exercise in logic. Jack? Bili? Anon? any of you willing to step up to the plate and actually discuss these facts?
