Theists what would you do if the Theroy of Evolution became the Law of Evolution?
Would you still deny it even though your favorite argument against it is gone?

Then you don't end up with embarressing spelling mistakes such as 'Theory'. You misspelled 'embarrassing.' It only takes a couple of seconds to read over an argument before you post it. Then you don't end up becoming a hypocrite. How many times do I have to remind you that you are relying on evolved body parts every day? You are sitting on your coccyx, are you not? Do I have to repeat myself on how it contains the remnants of a tail? "You misspelled 'embarrassing.' It only takes a couple of seconds to read over an argument before you post it. Then you don't end up becoming a hypocrite. " Well at least someone got the joke, even if they id take it too literally. "How many times do I have to remind you that you are relying on evolved body parts every day?" You an I have yet to have a debate about evolution. We don't even talk "every day." "You are sitting on your coccyx, are you not? Do I have to repeat myself on how it contains the remnants of a tail?" Hooray, someone's learnt science! Just because they have yet to find a purpose for it's presence, doesn't mean it's unnessecary. They thought tonsils were just leftovers of evolution and started removing them, then we discovered that they're part of an anti-nfection system. The appendix was unnecessary, until we found out that it's a storage system for good bacteria when bad bacteria inhabit the stomach. Maybe in a few years time we find out the coccyx has a crucial effect of our bodies. Now as I've said before, I dislike debating on this subject, so I probably won't reply to this. 2

You have the delusion that a scientific law is more valueable than a scientific theory. This is not the case. A scientific law is based on what we observe over time that consistantly occurs and that we predict will continue to occur in the future. It does not tell us WHY these things happen. The laws of gravity and physics for example. If I drop a ball it will go downwards every single time. This law does not tell us why this happens, but tells us that it does and always will happen. A theory is much more significant. A theory is a law backed by evidence and answers the WHY? question. It is as close to factual as you can get. In science you can't go in reverse from a theory to a law so this question you've proposed is illogical. 1

Theroy? We submit, that the person responsible for the creation of this debate is confused as to the true distinction which is to be made between a "law" and a "theory". I shall be very mischievous and use a pocket watch analogy. If a theory is a working pocket watch, then a law is a vital gear, which in harmonious operation with its fellows, drives the mechanism. Exempli gratia, Mendel's Law of independent assortment is a vitally important law, relating to the theory of genetics. I agree, and those theists that do not, forgettaboutit, they are extremists. Within logic, for any person to say "humans did not evolve, or say proceed (to come after), from a previous life form or process" is not well informed. Even in the christian bible, mankind was not created until after other life forms, for example the sea creatures and birds; then came "adam and eve", humans. So really, if any person believes in at least the Book of Genesis, they automatically must believe in evolution, or at least there is a process to life and we are a part of that process, and technically we are THE end point, so far as we know, of that process. 1

I couldnt agree more, scientists and the masses used to doubt that the sound barrier could be broken - they used to believe the World was flat and the sun went around the earth The Theory of Evolution is just that , a theory, the odds are it is probably wrong and so is the Big Bang theory. Since we will never find the answer out in our life times it seems pretty pointless researching it. Unless of course you want to sell a book or an article on the subject. I have a theory that there are Aliens sharing this planet with us, they look like us but they dont think like us, now try to disprove that QED they used to believe the World was flat and the sun went around the earth I think you mixed up the word scientists with Christians. If you actually knew anything about science you would know that science disproved the Christians who thought those things. The Theory of Evolution is just that , a theory, the odds are it is probably wrong and so is the Big Bang theory. What about the theory of gravity? Do you even know what a scientific theory is? I have a theory that there are Aliens sharing this planet with us, they look like us but they dont think like us, now try to disprove that Got any scientific proof to back that theory up? If not it is not a scientific theory Get yourself educated. 1
