Evolution is not a theory based on scientiftic meathodology. Why do I say that? Well, if have a theory and proove it wrong, it doesn't exist as a working theory right? EVERY one of the principles that Darwin based this "theory" on have been disproven. So, I deny calling it a theory as it has already had the main premise of its theory rendered as false interpretation. The attachment to its principles is adhered to like democrats to Al Gore and the "rigging" of the Florida ballots. More emotional than logical.
If you say that natural selection proves evolution, thats like saying we all have the powers of Magneto from X-men because I cant disprove gravity. Natural selection is a VERY small part of the equation. Evolution is very complex, and requires hundreds of factors to work. Under the premise of scientific meathodology, evolution is dead because the "theory" in whole is disproven. If you attempt to "proove" it you aren't using scientific meathods. You can only disprove a theory. To have a theory based on what science has found now it something new. But Darwin's Evolution is dead.
That leads to creationism. It has yet to be disproven, this is why it is a factor. I subscribe to this personally. Why? I think an Intelligent Design is much easier to fathom than the outrageous claims of the ENTIRE theory of evolution. I don't buy the old Earth argument of millions of years. Frankly if mankind with any kind of intelligence and the ability to survive and replicate for 1000's of years... we would have destroyed this rock A LONG time ago.
Lets place this in perspective. The X1 Cray... a series of cray 6+ cray systems running in parallel with ~ 50% average idle time. (The Japaneese crays run at 97% idle. ) One of the most powerful known computing devices avaliable. The goal of one of the purchasers of this X1 was to replicate the actions and workings of A SINGLE CELL. This single cell that was "concocted" by chance in a pool of hospitipal gasses and soup according to E. If it takes the workings of our most powerful computers to fail to replicate one of the most simple blocks in Evolution, how can that happen by chance? If we "evolved" the missing link fossiles of in between mutations would outnumber the finished product ones we have today. That frankly takes much more faith than it does for me to accept the Bibles teachings. Hypnosis Airspirit? no, I call it a track record.
Since this is the appropriate thread I leave with this... No man is an athiest when he is about to die. Science leaves more questions than answers, and for people to say we don't need faith, they deny that they live on it. We don't understand 99.99999999% of this world. We can't even understand the simple physics of heat dissipation.
