Question From "Traditional man and country"

Re: Question to Anonymouse - From "Traditional man and country"

There is life thousands of feet below ground level in caves and in the depths of the oceans where no sunlight has reached. It's possible. That was not the point of this discussion however. It's about evolution, no? So, don't get sidetracked by an expression.

A theory in science is not the same as colloquial use of the word theory. A scientific theory is strongly supported, whereas common use of "theory" by laypeople typically is referring more to an untested hypothesis.

Vartan, I've had brief discussion about evolution with KanadaHye and Anonymouse. Neither understand the theory, so be prepared for that as you begin this debate.

Anonymouse thinks that if we cannot sit down and observe evolution happen before our eyes in one session, then it is false.

Kanadahye thinks evolution is linear and that the theory says that an ape gave birth to a human. The concept of common ancestors is lost on him.

Until it CAN be proven false and denied, it's a fact.

This is a scientific matter, not some kind of "poltical" or chatroom like BS talk. What kind of argument is that?
By the way, did you prove that life cannot exist without the sun?

I suppose crapping out of my peran and eating with my vorr is also possible... but until I evolve to that point, it doesn't work that way.

Dre, have a tiny bit of respect! I will not ask you again. How about making an actual argument rather than just being disgusting and crass?

There has been life seen, studied, etc in the situation I described. Whereas, I believe your eating out of your @ss has yet not been studied by scientists.

That's what the word FACT means. Did you prove that it can?

You know me, I like to toss in a bit of humour here and there.

When in the world did I claim that I thought an ape gave birth to a human? I have some pretty hairy relatives, but by no means would I confuse them with apes.

You're right, that was not the point but I don't mind and it's maybe a good introduction to what evolution is. It's hard to dissociate the concepts of evolution and life.

If life exists thousands of feet below ground level then it's not untested hypothesis. I think that for Kanadahye "theory" means that either he does not understand well enough or he won't admit that he's wrong.

Thanks for the warning.

PROVE me wrong.

Siggie gave you an exmple. I gave you examples. Are you replying before reading?
