We're Monkeys. The human Genome is 96% identical to a chimpanzees. If I made you a sandwich, that was 96% poo, would you call it a ham sandwich? |

My fellow evolutionists. Theory and Law are 2 distinctly different things. They regard different degrees of plausibility. Evolution is not 100% if it were it would move beyond both theory and law to become fact. Let's not be bullies.
bumbleBB, you need to do some reading too. A fact is not some level-up of a theory or law.
Also, what's with the "evolutionist"? If I accept that V=IR would you call me an Ohmist? |

If you really want to learn Farside, here are some things for you to study:
- difference between theory and fact in science
- evidence for evolution (Google "observed instances of speciation" to get started)
- difference between evolution and abiogenesis
- logical fallacies, notably argument from ignoranceThat should straighten out a few of the biggest problems. |

It makes me laugh when people like Farside make assertions about science.
Farside - even people who agree with you would be embarrassed by the arguments you're putting forward here.
Answers in Genesis, a Christian apologetics group, have a list of common arguments creationists should not use. Please read them. You should at least learn what creationist arguments have been repeatedly debunked before trying to argue it. All the arguments you proposed have been repeatedly shot down. They're simply not right. Even your side admits it. |

@Farsidedown: I know the word is kinda over-used nowadays... but you sir, are the epitome of FAIL. Go find some church and devote your poor misguided mind to worshiping something which you cannot, and never will understand.
Certainly, if evolution is ever proved wrong... We as human could never comprehend something which has created the Earth... So life ur damn life and dont waste pecious hours worshipping something which wont ever listen to you.

Ok ok ok the debate degraded here and turned into name calling. My fellow evolutionists. Theory and Law are 2 distinctly different things. They regard different degrees of plausibility. Evolution is not 100% if it were it would move beyond both theory and law to become fact. Let's not be bullies. It won't get you anywhere. |

Problem is, there have been numerous studies done which HAVE directly observed evolution in action. So often when someone defending creationism or 'intelligent design' says that they have seen no direct evidence for evolution, it's just because they're selectively ignoring the research. Or are just too lazy to go read it. |

a theory is on par with a law. a law is based on quantitative (ie. numerical) data, while a theory is qualitative (observed and proven through the use of the scientific method) data. both are accepted in the scientific community as being legitimate. i thought we all learned this in the third grade.

Farside, with due respect, every time you talk about evolution as being "monkeys turning into people" you embarrass yourself. I would suggest that if this is your understanding of evolution, then you're not really in a valid position to be debating on the subject. p.s. did he really just link an image from a kids' website advising how to do a science fair project as an explanation of Scientific Theory? I believe he did... |

Farsiededown reminds me of the futurama quote about the flood:Gay Hippie: They called me crazy for building this ark.
Old Hippie: You ARE crazy. You filled it with same sex animal couples.
Gay Hippie: Hey, there are parts of the Bible I like and parts I don't like |

There it is, broken down in it's simplest form just for you! You can only partially prove it, so it remains a theory until you have 100% evidence. Calm down good sir!
No sh*t, Sherlock. You're the asshat who thinks that one must have 100% absolute certainty of something to consider it a fact. The facts are these, Farsidedown: the evidence for evolution is overwhelming, as is the evidence of the Earth being a sphere. Good day asshat! |

What I can't observe however is the origins of man which is what evolution is trying to explain, and I also have never heard of someone observing monkeys turning into people over the course of generations, or anything in between, so how can it be called a law? It's a theory with partially proveable segments to it.
Ok, so why do you believe in god?
did you see him make the universe?
why do you believe there was a global flood?
did you see that? Also, it's ape-like creatures that became human, not monkeys.
