Do you accept that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is also a theory?

Let's not be stupid about all of this.

The most logical thing is to present both sides of the argument since both are just theories. Then you present the facts that are known.

No one can prove how our world was created, and that is just the way it is.

Now, you can prove things like how old objects are through science such as carbon dating.

You can prove the similarities between the species through DNA, that's science.

However, you cannot prove that anything actually evolved. We've never seen a species actually evolve into a new species. It's just a theory. People present it as fact, and it is not.

I was a chemical engineering major for 3 years before I switched to computer science. I have a minor in chemistry.

I know science. Yes, there are lots of theories, but most of them can be proved. Evolution cannot be proved. I'm not saying that it didn't happen. I actually don't have a problem if it did.

However, I like to look at theories and prove them. That's what real scientist do.
