Topic	Is there anybody on this board who doesn't believe that evolution has occurred?

I believe that evolution is a real thing but I think there are a lot of misconceptions about it in the scientific community, some things really do seem too convenient to have just happened through random mutation and survival of the fittest. I don't discount the possibility that a higher power could affect the process. Those "random mutations" and survival of the fittest are what evolution is. There is no debate in the scientific community over evolution, it is a fact. It also does not involve "God" or any kind of "higher power". Since the use of the word "fact" sets off the uneducated, bear in mind that facts change, they are not universal truths that will always stand. So you're saying evolution will one day stop being true, too? :\| Evolution may never be replaced but it is possible that it could be. Science is constantly evolving and learning. One thing is certain, however, that evolution will not be replaced by the theories it replaced. At no point in the future will "divine creation" be considered a valid scientific stance as it has been proven false by evolution. Mead posted... JTekashiro posted... Mead posted...

You're claiming a lot of things that you cannot prove I don't think you understand what facts are, and you seem to be unnecessarily triggered by someone having the view that the unknown is possible Basically, check yourself What do you mean? Evolution is most definitely provable but you just refuse to either acknowledge it or cannot comprehend science. If you go to some small tropical islands you will find ordinary house flies without wings. That is because on small islands the wind currents are too strong and will blow away small flying insects. Wingless flies, initially born as a "mutation", then survive while winged ones die off. Hence, you get the evolution of wingless house flies. <cite>JTekashiro posted [p:877568971] in Is there a...
