I find it honestly very amusing how you have sidetracked the major points I raised about evolution, and the simple facts there-in, of the evolution of key species on this planet - bears, lions, apes and 1000's of other species who are all genetically in the same 'family' but have EVOLVED differently due to external factors (mainly climate, geography).
Sorry GR but evolution in it's core IS fact.
I am not an evolutionarist that believes in the theory of us being monkeys, but I do know for a genetic fact that we are in the same species.
Evolution is a scientific fact, proven by the best means available to any scientific or religious professor on this planet. It's just the truth, not a theory.
just because it is plausible, and the most likely solution, does NOT make it fact. You dont know that its fact, because there isnt definitive proof. So it is NOT fact. Theres no way you can argue your way around that. It just isnt. I would hedge my money on evolution, if someone asked me what my theory is, I'd go with evolution, I'm just saying theres a reaosn its called the 'theory' of evolution, and thats because its a theory, and not proven. If you can please link me to definitve proof that evolution is fact, and not just a theory, go ahead. But I know you cant, because definitive proof doesnt exist. Evidence exists. Thats not proof.
Now if you want to say that you 100% believe that evolution is the case, and that there is a great likelihood that it is true, id go for that. But say what you mean; because if you are saying there there is proof that 100% guarantees that evolution is how we got here, then you, are wrong.
One alternative, which a creationist could raise: God created everything as it is right now, 500 years ago, and left the evidence to make us believe something different. And theres no way you can definitively say that didnt happen. As long as the probability of that being the truth is greater than 0, that means that the alternative, evolution, does not have a probably of being the truth of 100%. So its just not. Sorry.
