Yes: Why believe in that theory but not evolution's theory?
No:Why not?
I know a lot of you have no idea what a theory really is so here you go.

Charles Darwin failed miserably in his quest to validate his argument on Evolution.



God created the Heaven and Earth as the Holy Bible declares (Genesis 1:1). Don't put faith in theories. Have faith in God.



Charles Darwin did not use good logic in his famous book, "The Origin of Species."



W.R. Thompson, a Canadian entomologist(entomology-study of insects) of international repute, wrote in his introduction to the centennial edition of Darwin's Origen, "Darwin did not show in the Origin that species had originated by natural selection; he merely showed, on the basis of certain facts and assumptions, how this might have happened, and as he had convinced himself he was able to convince others.



Chapter 4 of the Origin, entitled "Natural Selection; or the Survival of the Fittest," occupies 44 pages in the 1958 mentor edition. In this chapter Darwin used the language of speculation, imagination, and assumption at least 187 times. For example, pages 118 and 119 contain the following phrases; "may have been," "is supposed to," perhaps," "If we suppose," "may still be," 'it is probable," "will generally tend," "may" "will generally tend," 'If," 'if...assumed," "supposed," "supposed," "probably," "It seems, therefore, extremely probable," and "We may suppose." Is this really the language of science? No, it is not.



Of Darwin's speculative arguments Thompson wrote, "....Personal convictions, simple possibilities, are presented as if they were proofs, or at least valid arguments in favor of the theory....The demonstration can be modified without difficulty to fit any conceivable case. It is without scientific value, since it cannot be verified; but since the imagination has free rein, it is easy to convey the impression that a concrete example of real transmutation (change of one species to another) has been given."

Have faith dear friends in God, not theories.

Because not once have we ever directly observed Mankind evolve from a common ancestor of the ape. That is an assumption based largely on Bones and age assessment processes that even scientists admit are flawed.( Take the reservoir effect for example.) Along with a large similarity between the DNA of humans and that of apes. It's swiss cheese. We've seen adaptation occur. some even call that evolution but evolution is gradual change in genetic composition over generations that results in the eventual development of a new species. Take differing races for example. They are the result of adaptation. They are not genetic so no change in genetic composition. They didn't make us any less human. no new species. Adaptation. Not evolution. When a virus develops immunity to a certain antibiotic people cry Evolution! but how does the fact that a previously effective method for killing the virus doesn't work any longer make it a "new species"? that's wishful thinking to me.

The 'theory of gravity' has no basis in reality.

The Law of gravitation is proven every time something goes up.



Do you know a theory when you smell one?

Go to a zoo and have a monkey throw some theory at you.





Putting an adjective[scientific] in front of a noun[theory] does not change the definition of the noun theory - it is still assumption, supposition, speculation

You are correct. There is a difference between a theory and a scientific theory



should have picked a more credible website though.....there's some really good ones out there that are much better

I agree with it but not everything about it.

But you have to believe in the theory that everything scientists say is true even without you being there or having actual facts up front. If you don't like the truth, go ahead and give me a thumbs down.

Have a nice day :)

You learned about theories yesterday in science class right?

Now the rest of the world has to agree with your science teacher?

I don't think so.

Thank you and have a fab day.

Yeah I believe in gravity. Something I cannot see.

Sort of like my belief in god.



Referring to evolution:

If we evolved from apes then, why are there still apes?

"If we evolved from apes, why are there still apes?" <---- LMBO



*wipes tear from eye* good one, did you come up with that all on your own?



Totally homeschooled.

Do you believe in the theory that aliens built the pyramids? Why not? It's a theory!
