Why Evolution is bunk and scientific proof for creationism

[Anorien16]

I have a general theory (not a scientific one) that this is thread was created as a bait thread .... and I observe that many have been hooked as intended.

hmmmm..... see your point, but evolution is a theory, adaption is proven.

creationism is for retards.

I've never heard that been said.

in science mind you not there common everyday definitions law doesn't = 100% unchangeable facts and theory doesn't = a hunch thought or whim


"LAW:
1) An empirical generalization; a statement of a biological principle that appears to be without exception at the time it is made, and has become consolidated by repeated successful testing; rule (Lincoln et al., 1990)

2) A theoretical principle deduced from particular facts, applicable to a defined group or class of phenomena, and expressible by a statement that a particular phenomenon always occurs if certain conditions be present (Oxford English Dictionary as quoted in Futuyma, 1979).

3) A set of observed regularities expressed in a concise verbal or mathematical statement. (Krimsley, 1995).

THEORY

1) The grandest synthesis of a large and important body of information about some related group of natural phenomena (Moore, 1984)

2) A body of knowledge and explanatory concepts that seek to increase our understanding ("explain") a major phenomenon of nature (Moore, 1984).

3) A scientifically accepted general principle supported by a substantial body of evidence offered to provide an explanation of observed facts and as a basis for future discussion or investigation (Lincoln et al., 1990).

4) 1. The abstract principles of a science as distinguished from basic or applied science. 2. A reasonable explanation or assumption advanced to explain a natural phenomenon but lacking confirming proof (Steen, 1971). [NB: I don't like this one but I include it to show you that even in "Science dictionaries" there is variation in definitions which leads to confusion].

5) A scheme or system of ideas or statements held as an explanation or account of a group of facts or phenomena; a hypothesis that has been confirmed or established by observation or experiment, and is propounded or accepted as accounting for the known facts; a statement of what are held to be the general laws, principles or causes of something known or observed. (Oxford English Dictionary, 1961; [emphasis added]).

6) An explanation for an observation or series of observations that is substantiated by a considerable body of evidence (Krimsley, 1995)."

Given my above arguments for how similar these two words are, it is nonetheless true that "law" and "theory" are different words that can or do have different connotations. So, what's the difference? Look above at the last definitions under Law and Theory. These definitions clearly differentiate the two words. Some scientists will tell you that the difference between them is that a law describes what nature does under certain conditions, and will predict what will happen as long as those conditions are met. A theory explains how nature works. Others delineate law and theory based on mathematics -- Laws are often times mathematically defined (once again, a description of how nature behaves) whereas theories are often non-mathematical. Looking at things this was helps to explain, in part, why physics and chemistry have lots of "laws" whereas biology has few laws (and more theories). In biology, it is very difficult to describe all the complexities of life with "simple" (relatively speaking!) mathematical terms.

"Regardless of which definitions one uses to distinguish between a law and a theory, scientists would agree that a theory is NOT a "transitory law, a law in waiting". There is NO hierarchy being implied by scientists who use these words. That is, a law is neither "better than" nor "above" a theory. From this view, laws and theories "do" different things and have different roles to play in science. Furthermore, notice that with any of the above definitions of law, neither scientists nor nature "conform" to the law. In science, a law is not something that is dictated to scientists or nature; it is not something that a scientist or nature has to do under threat of some penalty if they don't conform."

The "primordial soup" or, "first species," whatever you want to call it, is still only theoretical. What's more, we still don't know how it could have formed.

 

[Homertime06]

A vast majority of scientist agree to the theory of evolution.

/thread plz

 

[ssjsage]

What if creationism lead to evolution?

 

[SasukeUchiha910]

What if creationism lead to evolution?

possible, but not likely the two are indeed different theory/beliefs of a genesis.

 

[Blubbit]

Most of you who say "theory" are really thinking of a hypothesis. A hypothesis is essentially a proposed explanation based on limited knowledge. Essentially, it's an educated guess. The common definition of "theory" would be a hypothesis by science standard. A SCIENTIFIC theory is made after we make the hypothesis. If the hypothesis is confirmed through multiple experiments and/or observations, it becomes a scientific theory. Evolution has been observed and you can argue it was "tested" through our pets with selective breeding. All dogs today originate from gray wolves after all.

Too bad it doesn't

 

[narutokage99]

If scientists everywhere agreed evolution was a fact, there would not be an ever-growing, ever-vocal group of 'em that say it's not.

Theory of Evolution and Origin of Life are two different theories btw.

 

[Jazzy Stardust]

Everything happens for a reason, to think a Big Bang just happened randomly is beyond a mindset I can phathom.

They tie in closely.
