TO ALL ATHEISTS AND EVOLUTION THEORY SUPPORTERS
- Thread starter EDJ

I'd like to make a correction for Shep. Theories can be proven wrong. There are plenty of wacko theories out there with no supporting evidence. A scientific theory on the other hand, is completely different.
As used in science, a theory is an explanation or model based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning, especially one that has been tested and confirmed as a general principle helping to explain and predict natural phenomena.
Any scientific theory must be based on a careful and rational examination of the facts. A clear distinction needs to be made between facts (things which can be observed and/or measured) and theories (explanations which correlate and interpret the facts.
A fact is something that is supported by unmistakeable evidence. For example, the Grand Canyon cuts through layers of different kinds of rock, such as the Coconino sandstone, Hermit shale, and Redwall limestone. These rock layers often contain fossils that are found only in certain layers. Those are the facts.
It is a fact is that fossil skulls have been found that are intermediate in appearance between humans and modern apes. It is a fact that fossils have been found that are clearly intermediate in appearance between dinosaurs and birds.
Facts may be interpreted in different ways by different individuals, but that doesn't change the facts themselves.
Theories may be good, bad, or indifferent. They may be well established by the factual evidence, or they may lack credibility. Before a theory is given any credence in the scientific community, it must be subjected to "peer review." This means that the proposed theory must be published in a legitimate scientific journal in order to provide the opportunity for other scientists to evaluate the relevant factual information and publish their conclusions.

I'll debate not to debate about monkeys.
But as for scientific theories:
Theory: A theory is more like a scientific law than a hypothesis. A theory is an explanation of a set of related observations or events based upon proven hypotheses and verified multiple times by detached groups of researchers. One scientist cannot create a theory; he can only create a hypothesis.
In general, both a scientific theory and a scientific law are accepted to be true by the scientific community as a whole.
Anyone remember the 'theory' that ulcers are caused by stress?

MAN, OH MAN,
I LEAVE AND HERE COME ALL THE MICE TO PLAY. ALL I ASKED WAS A SIMPLE QUESTION. FORMALDEHYDE WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT TRUTHFULLY ATTEMPTED TO ANSWER IT. BUT HERE WE gO AgAIN:
SHEP,
YOU STRESSED, "quit with the you stressed bullshit.... it's called the reply button, learn how to use it..."
MUTHA-FUKA,
I'VE BEEN ON THE SICCNESS WAY BEFORE YOU AND KNOW HOW TO USE EVERY FUNCTION OF THE BOARD. HOW I CHOOSE TO USE THE TOOLS IN FORNT OF ME IS UP TO MY DISCERNMENT. WHO THE FUK ARE YOU TO TRY AND CRITICIZE HOW I ORgANIZE AND BREAKDOWN STATEMENTS? WHAT IF I TOLD YOU TO STOP THE MIDWEST INVASION SITE AND JUST COME TO THE SICCNESS? DO I HAVE THE RIgHT?
THEN YOU STRESSED, "ghosts have nothing to do with evolution, hence you naming a thread for atheists and evolution supporters, you have lumped them together into the same category, which they are now."
JUST FOR ONE FUCCEN QUESTION. NOW, CAN YOU PROVIDE AN ANSWER OR IS THE SHIT THAT PERPLEXXIN'?
THEN YOU STRESSED, "evolution is fact, it exists"
SHOW ME CONCRETE EVIDENCE, NOT NO SUPPOSITION BASED ON OPINIONS.
THEN YOU STRESSED, "proves a variety of species? again, you show ignorance on the topic."
DO I? HOW IS THAT? SHOW ME HOW IT IS IgNORANT. BETTER YET, SHOW ME THAT IT'S MORE IgNORANT THAN BELIEVIN' IN OPINIONATED SUPPOSITIONS.
THEN YOU STRESSED, "so before you talk about eveolution, learn something about it. pick up any biology book."
I KNOW WHAT I KNOW, AND I'M NOT TRYIN' TO gO INTO THAT SUBJECT. SO BEFORE YOU TALK ABOUT EVOLUTION, JUST ANSWER THE MUTHA-FUCCIN' QUESTION I ORIgINALLY ASKED.
NITRO,
YOU STRESSED, "EDJ... why did you choose this path to debate a higher power."
I DIDN'T WANT TO DEBATE IN THE FIRST PLACE. I WAS JUST SEEIN' WHERE MUTHA-FUKAS HEADS IS AT WITH THE SUBJECT.
THEN YOU STRESSED, "Ask them to explain the beginning of time. Argue the relationship between then Sun, the o-zone layer, and the Earth. How is our planet so round and how did the interior of the earth develope so many different structures, traits, and elements. How was the first single celled living organism created millions of years ago. Has man stopped evolving? But man, you're arguing a point that is unprovable. You should, at the bare minimal, have at least one ghost on tape before making a thread like this. But do what you got to man."
THAT'S A gOOD IDEA. I SAY YOU START THE THREAD AND I'LL PROBABLY JOIN IN LATER.
FORMALDEHYDE,
YOU STRESSED, "its easy E they dont exist they are hallucinations or lies or some other rational explination"
FINALLY AN ATTEMPT TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, CONgRATULATIONS. NOW, WHICH ONE IS IT?
THEN YOU STRESSED, "the thing is bro your not rational at least not when it comes to questioning what you have been told so.............................you stressed now answer my previous ?"
SO WHAT HAVE I BEEN TOLD? AND WHAT IS SO UNRATIONAL? AND WHAT QUESTION DO YOU WANT ANSWERED? THIS ONE: "Ok how do creationists explain the boogy man, yetti/bigfoot & the lockness monster they aint in the bible fool so you stressed."
THERE'S A LOT OF EXPLANATIONS. BUT CREATURES ARE CREATURES THAT ARE CREATED. DID YOU KNOW THAT NEW SPECIES AND VARIETY WITHIN A SPECIES ARE CONSTANTLY BEIN' DISCOVERED?
