Even if the man who wrote genesis only ate meat..........the herbivores that the carnivores eat must ingest plant life.......which ofcourse means there was light to allow these plants to exist.
are you a retard? Discuss intelligently or leave......
Are you a retard? It wasn't wrote at the same time! The god, you know, the one mentioned in genesis, told them what to write AFTERWARDS!

again.....I put your own words back to you. Back up your word. Let's see your evidence for anything you have just typed.
Give me evidence, right here, right now, that evolution exists and i'll believe and i MEAN evidence, show me evolution right infront of my eyes, REAL evolution.
Stop being so hypocritical of people who you think are being hypocritical! That's so hypocritical of you! 🙄
In other words, find some way to make me live for millions of years so i can study the evolution of animals. 😆

You're retarted. Go make up answers for things.

Um retarted? 😖
Expecting proof for something that happened 8000 years ago is impossible unless info was passed down like the Bible, and evidence for evolution well.... impossible to find rightn now... It really is a theory, cause information that was passed about evolution started as a theory anyways 😆
Actually Evolution is fact. If you know anything about anything, which you likely do not given your extreme ignorace about what evolution even is, you would be arguin gagainst natural selection.
I'm not going to waste my time arguing with another dumbf*ck.
Natural Selection is a Theory. Get it straight.
The bible is proof of nothing, and if you ever played a 6300 year game of telephone you can only imagine how screwed up your
"fact" is.
Evolution is not a Theory. There is no "Theory of Evolution" however, that term has been used by Intelligent Design groups to name Natural selection.
"Evolution is a process that results in heritable changes in a population spread over many generations." This is perhaps one of the better scientific defenitions of evolution.
You are correct that the Theory of NAtural selection is the mechanism for evolution.
Evolution is a theory though, just like relativity is a theory. Both are demonstrable, both have a lot of evidence behind them, but in the end we haven't completely proven either. Science doesn't actually prove anything, it can only disprove. And neither evolution nor relativity has been disproven (although physics isn't my field, I think that our understanding of relativity may have been modified since einstein.)
Science does prove things, but not in absolute terms. Science both proves and disporves, especially on the experimental level.
The Theory of Relativity is much less complete than evolution is. Evolution is much more concrete than the concept of gravity. I very much stand by my position that evolution is not a Theory, it is fact, but if you take it, then I'll stop b*tching.
Actually, natural selection has been modified fruequently and much so than either of the relativity theories. In fact, the full name of the modern Natural Selection is commonly called the The Modern Synthesis.

If you are interested, I'll post another of Widtsoe's articles on the Mormon thread as to our view on this(evolution), at least as of 1960 or so.
Lol, I was posting it mainly for Docb77, I figured if he was unsure about any stance that had been stated that this would help him out. Plus, Widtsoe was a scientist as well as being a member of our 12 Apostles during his life.
John A. Widtsoe
The citations I have made were published in the book cited in 1960, so they should be considered fairly valid up to that point.
Perhaps what we've got is a difference of opinion based on what we think the term evolution means, I accept that evolution - meaning change - is a fact of life. I'm more hesitant to say that evolution - meaning the changing of one species into another - is incontrovertible. I do think there's a lot of data to support it, but I'm not quite ready to say it's rock solid.
I'm thinking the last few posts of ours maybe should have gone to the evolution thread. How did we get to talking about evolution in here anyways? Never mind, I found it.

It's more solid than Creationism though. 😉
