[QUOTE="galacticmonkey, post: 7665138, member: 570857"] If you're interested in learning the scientific basis that shows why every legitimate scientist and rational person believes evolution, do a search on YouTube for Dr. Ken Miller. He will explain to you on a technical biological level why not only evolution has never had a single piece of evidence prove it wrong, but why many arguments from critics, when look at more closely, actually end up showing exactly the things that evolution would predict. It's called a theory, but in the context of science, a "theory" is different than a theory in any other context. There's a difference between laws, theories, and a hypothesis. Gravity is a law. We can explain how it works, and make predictions about events due to experience and experiments, and we know the force that causes it. But we still don't understand why gravity exists. We know it directly proportional to mass of an object, but we still don't know why gravity itself exists. As for evolution, we understand not only how it works, but why it works. In many ways, you could say we have a more thorough understanding of evolution than gravity. But anyway, check out Dr. Ken Miller. Very interesting stuff that will answer any question you could ever possibly have and clear up any misconceptions you have about the subject. Now if you just refuse to believe it no matter what because of spiritual beliefs, that's fine. Just don't say that evolution is not proven beyond a shadow of a doubt when you do so, because according to any level of scientific scrutiny, it is. [/QUOTE]
