Trump Acquittal Thoughts?

Its literally called the theory of evolution

 

Name a religion that does that

 

That was not my point. Maybe there's a religion that would. I'm with you (naturally): science is not a religion. Beach ball is making an attempt to equate science with religion based on certain paralells and similarities, but so far it seems a fallacy.

 

I seriously doubt you've ever studied the theory of evolution, it doesnt sound like it, so you're speaking from a place of ignorance here. It's hard to take you seriously

 

No I know. I was agreeing with you. Religious creed, doctrine, whatever you want to call, is usually pretty set in stone while science is fluid and evolving as knew information comes out, usually thanks to scientific advancement

 

I would not be suprised at all though that a religion would sensibly adapt to/incorporate new insights in this day and age. Many religious individuals would. It's not always so black and white as in the dark ages

 

lol. I have so many doubts about you melania, you really need to look up in scientific journals and you will perhaps learn what is actually true. That being that the evolutionary tree is in fact a hypothesis and in no way is fact. Not even a theory. Clearly you have little to no scientific background and just go by what you read, who knows where.

 

The thread meanders; it is evolving.

 

Although you appear to quote the wrong person, Mel seems to worded it correctly and you are subtily changing what she said. She didn't say the theory is fact, but is based on facts.

 

I disagree its evolving on the last page. The focus lies on countering a fake truth that is clear to be just that for most participants.

 

False Equivalence fallacy

 

Its pronounced "bay-gull"

 

But that's just your hypothesis...it's not a fact.

 

I said it isn’t a theory, it is a hypothesis, there is a difference, theories are based on some evidence but are not absolute. As I said the evolutionary tree is a hypothesis, not a theory, but yet it is accepted as absolute by laymen and neophytes.

 

and yes I did click the wrong quote, clicked the wrong one. Should have been melania, not bagel. Sorry bagel

 

You're literally just babbling nonsense

 

^ wasted babble right there. Pot - kettle

clearly you are close minded and that in itself says much about you, and the unwillingness to look into anything, simply believing what you read, who knows where. Clearly not in any scientific journal. I doubt you read or researched anything in science beyond high school mandatory courses. Yes the laymen, neophyte is you in this regard. You believe in fables.

 

How am I close minded when you havent even presented anything for me to consider except some stupidity about how the THEORY of evolution isnt actually a theory

 

For those who are interested, not Melanie, because she is unwilling to learn anything beyond her own fables.

Let's let the National Academy of Sciences decide.

"The formal scientific definition of theory is quite different from the everyday meaning of the word. It refers to a comprehensive explanation of some aspect of nature that is supported by a vast body of evidence."

"Many scientific theories are so well-established that no new evidence is likely to alter them substantially...the theory of evolution is supported by so many observations and confirming experiments that scientists are confident that the basic components of the theory will not be overturned by new evidence. However, like all scientific theories, the theory of evolution is subject to continuing refinement as new areas of science emerge or as new technologies enable observations and experiments that were not possible previously."

"In science, a "fact" typically refers to an observation, measurement, or other form of evidence that can be expected to occur the same way under similar circumstances. However, scientists also use the term "fact" to refer to a scientific explanation that has been tested and confirmed so many times that there is no longer a compelling reason to keep testing it or looking for additional examples. In that respect, the past and continuing occurrence of evolution is a scientific fact."
