Key word is "THEORY". Some interesting comments on this thread but when it comes right down to it, evolution is just a "THEORY".

You do know what the word "theory" means in science, don't you?

If not, you might want to look at post #52 on this thread.

No, most people have observed it including yourself. Evolution is defined simply as occurring change or change is ongoing or a observed fact. The Theory of Evolution explains the observed fact. For the simplest proof there are 6.7 billion people on earth and no two have been found to be exactly the same so some change has occurred. Get a picture of your parents and stand in front of a mirror. If you are exactly the same no change has occurred and you are a clone. However is if there is any difference, no matter how small, some change or evolution has occurred. Evolution whether by reproduction or nature is still change.

Evolution is both a fact and a theory. What is a theory? The method of science is the observation or a material fact (evolution) evidence and empirical evidence of the fact (evolution), and a explanation of the fact that constitutes theory. A scientific theory is composed of facts and laws not someones opinion.

If by now you have looked in the mirror you may remain a clone in thought but that physical change has occurred is a material fact observed by your own senses.

This is how anyone with a modicum of scientific literacy is reading your posts. I thought you should know before you continue to embarrass yourself.

See my earlier post to you, #52, above.

Your comment that evolution is "just a theory" is deliberately misleading. What else would it be? Why do you think that your attempt to belittle evolution as "a theory" means anything other than you do not understand the role of theory in science.

Rather than scoring a telling point against evolution, you may just have exposed your opinions of, and education in, science.
