No. Because god made us in his image and we all look different

Reminiscent of quoting things said in the bible. I would say the answer to your question depends but i guess you weren't really looking for that.

Nah. Accepting theories is to put trust in others delving into things you couldn't begin to comprehend, but evolution is one of the more accessible ones. You can see that undesirable traits get phased out without giving any real inspection. Think of the super obvious things like down syndrome. If changes as dramatic as down syndrome and having multiple digits can happen, it's reasonable to assume smaller mutations could appear as well. Next step is to scale it down to things like teeth, figure out the importance of that, then ask whether or not said trait can thrive in a certain environment.

It's still a theory.

Edit: I see I've upset some apes here. So then monkeys (as you claim to be descendents of them), how is it not a theory?

Props to this man for having the balls to post this.

How is being uneducated equate to "having balls?"



"The formal scientific definition of theory is quite different from the everyday meaning of the word. It refers to a comprehensive explanation of some aspect of nature that is supported by a vast body of evidence.

Many scientific theories are so well-established that no new evidence is likely to alter them substantially. For example, no new evidence will demonstrate that the Earth does not orbit around the sun (heliocentric theory), or that living things are not made of cells (cell theory), that matter is not composed of atoms, or that the surface of the Earth is not divided into solid plates that have moved over geological timescales (the theory of plate tectonics). Like these other foundational scientific theories, the theory of evolution is supported by so many observations and confirming experiments that scientists are confident that the basic components of the theory will not be overturned by new evidence. However, like all scientific theories, the theory of evolution is subject to continuing refinement as new areas of science emerge or as new technologies enable observations and experiments that were not possible previously."

I don't see how that makes him uneducated for not agreeing with evolution. That's a bit of an assumption.

Did you read my previous reply in its entirety?

Gravity is also a theory, that doesn't mean gravity is not a certainty. The same applies to evolution. It's reality. Not agreeing that evolution exists means you're not agreeing with reality. That's not what being educated means.

I did read your reply. Of course gravity is a fact and it does apply to evolution definition-wise but people can still disagree for their own reasons regardless if you think it gives them cognitive dissonance.

If it that what it takes then i'd rather be "uneducated" than poorly educated. You think you're so much better than anyone and you're not even aware of your own bias and hypocricy. That's what i hate about you. Always acting as if everything you say it's facts. So childish and full of shit.

Sis, I can say the same about you.

The theory of evolution is an "Agenda"

we don't really know anything, other than biased studies that help push the agenda that evolution is real. It's all selective.

"Gravity"...is just a term, for something that sheds light on something that's pretty understandable. However, I wouldn't compare evolution and gravity. Evolution is an assumption, to be honest. It's really just what people want to believe, people are just biased. Manifestation of envy...people wanna be like animals...you have weirdos out there who are like that.

People assume because we share similarities, that automatically means we evolved from that creature, or something similar to it.

It's pure competition and arrogance.

I think you are mistaking the natural selection part. Evolution is basically fact.
