Do you believe in evolution?

LOL. This is another way of saying it! Thanks

Yes, that does make sense. Thanks for your response. :)

Evolution is a theory and a fact. Gravity, electromagnetism, and genetics are a few other things that are also "just theories." That should give you an idea of how much water that "just a theory" nonsense holds. www.notjustatheory.com Evolution does not even say that humans came from apes--humans ARE apes, and all apes have a common ancestor (different species of apes didn't come from each other) that is now extinct. It was dishonest creationists who claimed that "humans evolved from apes" is what evolution says. It's just not true. "nobody has ever proven that God did not create everything." Nobody has ever proven that Zeus did not create everything. Nobody has ever proven that Ra did not create everything. Nobody has ever proven that Odin did not create everything. Nobody has ever proven that aliens did not create everything. Nobody has ever proven that ghosts did not create everything. Nobody has ever proven that a force no human has ever even imagined before did not create everything. Claiming that you're right because a universal negative has not been proven is simply absurd. Also, do not forget that evolution has ZERO to do with the origin of life (that's abiogenesis). The theory of evolution works regardless of how life STARTED; all it is concerned with is how life progress AFTER it starts. Extrapolating the ToE to abiogenesis is another dishonest creationist tactic. Also, about you saying that evolution has "never been proven": It takes IMMENSE ignorance to make a claim like this. The Theory of Evolution is one of THE most well-understood, well-established, and well-evidence scientific theories we've got. It's on par with our knowledge of GRAVITY, my friend. Here's a starting point--to list ALL of the proof of evolution would take more than a lifetime (there are literally millions of bits of evidence): 29+ Evidences for Macroevolution (emphasis on "macro," since most creationists now accept micro but not macro, which is silly because they're actually the exact same process, just with different time scales): http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/ A scientific theory is a collection of facts. Evolution is both a fact and a theory (see my sources). (sources) http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/evolution-fact.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory#Science

Hahaha! Something which I always wondered - there is really nothing in this world that is truly 'man-made'.

Okay. Everyone has a right to his/her beliefs. Thank you.

To each his own.

Reality does not care what you believe, and evolution is not something to 'believe' or disbelieve any more than gravity or electromagnetism is. They just are. Don't shoot the messenger--it is not the scientists' fault that what they find isn't what you want them to find. Evolution is a fact whether you like it or not. The proof is in the pudding--every vaccine ever invented is a result of our understanding of evolution. Evolution makes many testable predictions, none of which have been found false yet. Look up Ken Miller's talk on the fused chromosome in humans for an example of such a prediction. Evolution happens, and the theory works. There is no controversy, except for emotional reactions like these that are more "I don't want that to be true" than "I have a good reason for thinking that that is not true."

And just what is the origin of DNA?

Careful analysis shows again and again that the process, sender codes a message receiver decodes and uses intended information, does not arise without the active involvement of a living intelligence at some point. (Evidence for design/creation) Their is no scientific evidence known to man of a non-intelligent sender and a non-intelligent receiver. Why? to form a code to begin with, the sender and the receiver must have prior agreement as to the meaning of the code or else there will be no communication. Darwinian evolution only has chance mutation at its disposal. Because no "advanced thinking" can possibly be allowed, there is no way that the nucleotides can arrange themselves in a pre-defined code, since this assumes prior knowledge.

This is a good point. I didn't know this. Thank you.
