It is said that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but things are not usually that cut and dry.
In my high school biology class before we started learning about the theory of evolution my teacher said something that cleared a lot of things up for me. He said there is only one thing that separates religion from science is one word. Science asks you to accept (notice the word accept) what they think is truth. This truth is backed up by things that can be proven. Religion asks you to believe in what they think. There is nothing wrong with either of these, but when people say they believe in Evolution that is wrong because you don't have to believe science. Belief is a word that means knowing something without proof. You can believe anything you want. Now to accept something means that you acknowledge that it is true whether you like it or not. |

Evolution is actually "not" scientific fact as what science actually is. Theories are about as scientific as ignorant opinions. Evolution was adopted to fuel a political and social agenda, the breaking down of moral society to make the masses sway thereby making them more suceptable to manipulation. It's for control. Evolution has no fact, scientifically it is only partial seperate observations strewn together with theories and doctored reasoning coupled with concept art, just like a movie production. Evolution is about as real as Star Wars. On the genetic level by itself, the evidence is clear that DNA is a static entity and despite any given amount of time, a feather cannot change into a scale. It is absurd and takes more "faith" than any religion on the planet.
Above all else...seek knowledge. We are a society brainwashed by hyper media filters, they own you if you don't find the time to pull away and search for yourself. |

I hope that you are being sarcastic, but if not here goes.
No science is fact. Thats the deffinition of science. Science says go out and see what the world is and how it works. Theories are not fact either and at any time theories can be proved wrong, but the accepted theries of science are those that have been tested in the real world and in highly controlled conditions and every time the outcome is the same. Now by your post about theories being basicly bull crap. That means you don't accept that there is gravity, because gravity is a theory. And your right a feather cannot change into a scale both of those things are innatimate objetcs. You are using what i say and taking it to an outragouse extreme and criticising the result. And honestly if your argument had a leg to stand on you would not need to resort to that. |
