As a christian i can agree that he makes a good point against evolution.
Even muslims disprove evolution, umad pseudoscientists?

Same guy in OP but better video.
This one has good potentials for expression pics.

Einstein once said, that science without religion is lame.

Still, do we really need 3 religion related threads on the front page at once?

Because Einstein was a moron.

Context?

Anyway I can't understand a word he is saying OP.

Gasp! Darwin, who lived over a century ago, did not have the means to completely understand evolution even though he was the first to discover it. Obviously this means evolution cannot be true!

3.
Mathematics. a body of principles, theorems, or the like, belonging to one subject: number theory.

always the second definition with you people..never the first.

Everyone knows that scientists insist on using complex terminology to make it harder for true Christians to refute their claims. Take deoxyribonucleic acid for example. Sounds impressive right?

Have you ever seen what happens when you put something in acid? It dissolves. If our bodies were full of that acid, we'd all dissolve. So much for the theory of evolution.

I was highlighting what the video essentially is about (ok not listened until the end).
JUST A THEORY (A GEUSS)

[Anonymous No.3095852]

You've been told that "evolution is just a theory", a guess, a hunch, and not a fact, not proven. You've been misled. Keep reading, and in less than two minutes from now you'll know that you've been misinformed. We're not going to try and change your mind about evolution. We just want to point out that "it's just a theory" is not a valid argument.

The Theory of Evolution is a theory, but guess what? When scientists use the word theory, it has a different meaning to normal everyday use.1 That's right, it all comes down to the multiple meanings of the word theory. If you said to a scientist that you didn't believe in evolution because it was "just a theory", they'd probably be a bit puzzled.

In everyday use, theory means a guess or a hunch, something that maybe needs proof. In science, a theory is not a guess, not a hunch. It's a well-substantiated, well-supported, well-documented explanation for our observations.2 It ties together all the facts about something, providing an explanation that fits all the observations and can be used to make predictions. In science, theory is the ultimate goal, the explanation. It's as close to proven as anything in science can be.

Some people think that in science, you have a theory, and once it's proven, it becomes a law. That's not how it works. In science, we collect facts, or observations, we use laws to describe them, and a theory to explain them. You don't promote a theory to a law by proving it. A theory never becomes a law.

[Anonymous No.3095855]

his bears repeating. A theory never becomes a law. In fact, if there was a hierarchy of science, theories would be higher than laws. There is nothing higher, or better, than a theory. Laws describe things, theories explain them. An example will help you to understand this. There's a law of gravity, which is the description of gravity. It basically says that if you let go of something it'll fall. It doesn't say why. Then there's the theory of gravity, which is an attempt to explain why. Actually, Newton's Theory of Gravity did a pretty good job, but Einstein's Theory of Relativity does a better job of explaining it. These explanations are called theories, and will always be theories. They can't be changed into laws, because laws are different things. Laws describe, and theories explain.

Just because it's called a theory of gravity, doesn't mean that it's just a guess. It's been tested. All our observations are supported by it, as well as its predictions that we've tested. Also, gravity is real! You can observe it for yourself. Just because it's real doesn't mean that the explanation is a law. The explanation, in scientific terms, is called a theory.

Evolution is the same. There's the fact of evolution. Evolution (genetic change over generations)3 happens, just like gravity does. Don't take my word for it.4 Ask your science teacher, or google it. But that's not the issue we are addressing here. The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection is our best explanation for the fact of evolution. It has been tested and scrutinised for over 150 years, and is supported by all the relevant observations.

Next time someone tries to tell you that evolution is just a theory, as a way of dismissing it, as if it's just something someone guessed at, remember that they're using the non-scientific meaning of the word. If that person is a teacher, or minister, or some other figure of authority, they should know better. In fact, they probably do, and are trying to mislead you.

Several million years for a monkey to turn into a man? Oh that's right, monkeys don't live SEVERAL MILLION YEARS.

[Anonymous No.3095917]

form all the incertitudes of modern science, why chose from them all the most blatant, obvious and easily observable one to confront against obscure scriptures that nobody really understand because the world is so different now. Why? And why the fuck do people swallow that?

Theists don't understand the idea that what a person says is not dogma and that ideas change over time given sufficient evidence (another concept that they do not understand).
