Let the wild rumpus start!
Evolutionary theory is backed up by enormous amounts of empirical evidence, including the fossil record, genetics, embryology, and large-scale studies of populations of organisms.
Evolution is truth, creation isn’t.

Well, Im glad we got that sorted out. (glances at watch) And much more quickly than usual!
Evolution isn’t a theory. The theory is human evolution. We don’t have a complete fossil record for proof yet.
I think the second part is actually supposed to be creationism.
We should merge this with one of the other two religious threads, it will just resort to the same thing in 5 posts anyhow.
Well, as far as I know there’s the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection which is a scientific theory (as opposed to hypothesis) that explains the diversity of life on earth, and then there’s Evolution itself (lifeforms changing over time), which is an observed fact.
Quickly! Close the thread before the religious nuts and haters arrive!
Apples and oranges. The devil’s advocate position is obviously that the bible is an allegory, not to be taken literally, and that evolution is the end result of Creation.
I am wondering something ,is this atheism\agnostic biased Forum ?!
seriously WTF !! :facepalm:
It’s a phase that most teenagers go through (anti-authority, anti-Christian RAAAGE and angst). Don’t get too upset about it, most of them will grow out of it.
This is the first time I absolutely agree with you.
Technically evolution is a theory, although that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. The definition of a scientific theory is an explanation for an observation. A theory cannot become Scientific Law, they are two completely separate things. A law is a statement of an observation, a theory provides an explanation for an observation.
Common misconception. So yes, Evolution is a theory. :3
call me dumb ,but I really don’t get what you mean 
Definition of the word ‘evolution’: A process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage
This has been successfully observed. It’s not a theory. It’s an observed truth. Living organisms evolve.
Confusing the term evolution with our theories for how certain organisms on earth have evolved is the common misconception.
You asked if this forum had an anti-christian bias, I answered that most angsty teenagers do. Whats not to get?
Scientific Law: Organisms evolve
Theory: everything stated by Darwin
We’re saying the same thing in slightly different ways.
Maybe, but I think you may have just mis-spoke…er…mis-typed:
In that place I meant Darwin’s theory of evolution, sorry, I was just being lazy :retard:
Along with almost every renowned and successful scientist on this planet, and of course 29 year-old people like me who have accepted science as the only currently available method to actually find out what is true and what is false, instead of just believing what your parents tell you to believe.
Also:
Evolution = Proven fact.
Theory of Evolution = Thinking model developed by Darwin.
Almost every successful scientists is an Atheist? I strongly doubt that, lets see where you’re getting your statistics from.
Religion is dying and with it creationism.
