Evolution is just a theory

Isn't a theory just something that can be proved through experimentation? If so, then I'd just say the lame response that no one actually lived through the creation of the earth to absolutely prove that it's true xP

[MrRubix]

correct we can't see evolution actually happen therefore it's just a theory

[pokelda]

flame bait

[bob bob]

Suppose you could say the same thing about 2012, right?

[Izzy]

Agreed, evolution is a theory.

[Tokzic]

gravity is just a theory

[Patashu]

atomz are just a theory

[Patashu]

this thread being good is just a theory

[PhaeL v2]

Universe is just a theory





but thread derailing is a fact

[Izzy]

I am just a theory.

[Vendetta21]

Yes.

Also Richard Dawkins only hates Catholics because they get to molest all the young boys and that's not fair he wanted to nibble on those diddles.

[Minion133]

so mr rubix, you never answered my question

[TF_cyanide]

critical thinking thread died because everyone has the same opinion about this one. o hold on

CREATIONISM!! it happened

[Grandiagod]

The earth was created 6000 years ago, prove me wrong using the bible.

Ay.... ntohing to discuss...:???::shock:since evoultion cannot be verified...:mrgreen: or tested by either obversation or experimantation......:evil: then Ay its thoery:neutral:

[ananana]

Hasn't the average boob size skyrocketed? Isn't that evolution at its best?

[Grandiagod]

no it really isn't

[lurkerasdf]

atomz are just a theory
i know this is a troll but there is an electron microscope picture of molecular bonds

anyway increasing boob size (if that's actually a trend) wouldn't be evidence of evolution so much as it would be of inheritance of acquired characteristics, much like the theory that giraffe ancestors stretching their necks to reach higher led to the current animal

note that the giraffe example is clearly wrong due to the way genetics work (even though some creationists argue that it's still a mainstream belief that that is how evolution works); it's more likely that either competition led to giraffes with shorter necks getting fewer leaves (are therefore less nutrients) than those whose necks were randomly longer, allowing them to eat from trees as well as bushes, OR it's actually a secondary sexual characteristic and is therefore exactly the same type of scenario as boob sizes increasing (rofl)

an actual trend similar to acquired characteristics that HAS been discovered in humans is discussed here. not nsfw.

but yes, evolution is just a theory because no one has been alive long enough to prove it
fossil records are pretty good for a few select species (whales particularly) but are still massively incomplete for obvious reasons and shouldn't be considered as the definite discussion ender
