Well a lot of people have been telling me evolution is real. They give me the most craziest surreal 'facts'. Has anyone discovered any fish with legs? Any humans with gills or fins? If you put all the pieces of a watch into you're pocket and shake it around for trillions of years, will it ever become a watch? Is there but one possibility? Or if you completely dismantle a chicken and a fish, and put it into a box, shaking it around for trillions of years. Will it ever become a fish with wings? or a chicken with fins? :l
I guess not, since the term 'living fossil' is scientifically inaccurate. I know what you mean, but fossils are organisms that lived long enough ago to be fossilized; which means that, even in the case of the coelacanth who didn't change so much compared to it's ancestors, we cannot speak of living fossil since it's not the same organism, just it's descendant.
They are a species that is similar to species pretty much only found in fossils, happy? :P
I am of a different oppinion on evolution. Both evolution AND creation are theorys, facts.There is no proof of evolution or creation, and both require faith to believe in things that are still uncertian. I however, am a Christian because all you have to do is look around at the world and see that it didn't all just happen by accident. Their must be a creator who designed everything. It doesn't matter how many "E Bombs" there are. It doesn't change a thing. Again, both evolutio ANd creation are theorys because there is no definate proof of either. After all I wasn't there when life started.Were you?

No, I wasn't. But here. That's some good proof, I'd say.
There is plenty of proof for evolution, try reading all those E bombs instead of just acknowledging that there are many of them. We have a lot of evidence that shows the evolution process that happened in the past and we can still see it happening now, so I don't see how anyone could not believe in it.
And by the way, what is the part of evolution you don't accept as a fact? The fact that mutation occurs, the fact that individuals with favorable mutations have more chance to breed, or what?
Evolution may very well be a theory, but so is the Theory of Gravity, The Plate Tectonic Theory, and the Germ Theory of Disease. Would you deny the legitimacy of those theories as well? In scientific context, a theory is built upon numerous hypotheses and a plethora of evidence. By that standard creation is definitely not a theory, as there is no verifiable evidence supporting it.
The links are giving proof of evolution. They explain all that is needed to be said. Not every animal was instantly created. We see animals evolve over time and through fossils we can record this. We also have other sources of evidence. We know evolution is true. And please don't say we don't know because its a theory. You need soils, strong proof that's been checked multiple times to be a theory. Once you've disproven evolution, then you can see its fake. But until then the evidence speaks for itself.
I don't want to start a fight. It is clear that I believe in creation and you guys believe in evolution. That said, I don't see what else there is to talk about.

Hmm... he is right... this thread is pointless now... THIS WAS MY PRECIOUS! (I think you know where that's from.)
No, evolution is a fact and a theory as it's a verified observation and offers an explanation for related observations. Creationism is not verified thus is neither fact nor theory. At best it could only be regarded as a speculation, but even here it's questionable since it invokes magic.
There is no proof of evolution or creation, and both require faith to believe in things that are still uncertian.
I will repeat myself. "Please feel free to educate yourself before using more erroneous arguments against the theory."
We do have evidence for evolution, we have even seen it happen in both the lab and in nature.
I however, am a Christian because all you have to do is look around at the world and see that it didn't all just happen by accident.
Yep it didn't all just happen by accident. There are non random naturalistic variables involved in the process such as natural selection. But I don't think that is what you were trying to get at. So sorry things existing is not evidence of God.
It doesn't matter how many "E Bombs" there are. It doesn't change a thing.
Of course it doesn't change a thing when your not open to educating yourself about what you clearly have no understanding of.
After all I wasn't there when life started.Were you?
After all I wasn't there when God did it. Were you? As you can see this argument against any such claim is quite fallacious.
Like I said both are based on faith. Evolution is still just a theory just like creation.
No, faith isn't required for evolution. If it was faith based it wouldn't be a theory. I would recommend first getting a basic understanding of what a theory is in science, in fact here I will provide you with one.
Theory; A scientific explanation of related observations or events based on hypotheses and verified multiple times by different independent researchers.
And I read those E bombs when you read the Bible.
I have and do continue to read the Bible so please, have at the list.
Notice how they still call it the theory of evolution.
Yes, please see above definition of theory. It's also a fact.
Fact; An objective, verifiable observation. They can be, and have been, verified many times.
