I agree with the OP 100% what I see with the cut stone is the fact that dinosaurs played chess, so that means evolution is false....
Evolution is the change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organisation, including species, individual organisms and molecules such as DNA and proteins.[1]
All life on Earth is descended from a last universal ancestor that lived approximately 3.8 billion years ago. Repeated speciation and the divergence of life can be inferred from shared sets of biochemical and morphological traits, or by shared DNA sequences.[2] These homologous traits and sequences are more similar among species that share a more recent common ancestor, and can be used to reconstruct evolutionary histories, using both existing species and the fossil record. Existing patterns of biodiversity have been shaped both by speciation and by extinction.[3]

You may want to keep in mind that you are the one that said you didn’t understand evolution and didn’t want to. You might need to ask yourself why the majority on this thread have continuously asked you to clarify your point. The problem is, you don’t know enough about evolution to make an argument against it. I don’t believe the bible, but least I’ve read it. Most of it anyway, I skipped the begats, boring.
Boring? What is so exciting about evolution?
Evolution what an adventure that is?

Somehow I just don't see you as any kind of warrior.

You'll never know until you learn something about it.

I'm not and you missed the point. "Know your enemy" --know what you are talking about before you try to prove it wrong. Over the years, I've noticed that most (not all) that argue against evolution know the least about it.

Admittedly, this entire technique is merely scientific speculation.
And a person would have to be out their skull just to postulate
such a speculation. Let alone attempt it! But I'm the one who
doesn't understand? I understand BS perfectly when I read it
and hear it.

I dont get why both cant be true. I dont get why "God" or gods cant use science and existing natural forces to create or make things function for a greater mastery over the natural world.

No I have not forgotten the post to which we are responding.
His quote states that there are no absolutes, then in his post he states that Evolution is no longer a "theory".
If one believes this then they may as well say that it is ABSOLUTELY true.
This is incorrect. Evolution is a theory, hence we call it "The Theory of Evolution".
It is still being added to and taken away from as we gain more knowledge on the subject.
Do I accept the "theory" as absolute truth as it stands today? No, only someone with a small, closed mind would do so.
I can tell that you fit into this category, you seem to assume you are right even when you are wrong.
You are caught up in what you think you know about others without ever really knowing the person.
Evolution just like Relativity is a theory. Ask any scientist and they will tell you the same.
At what point, in your mind, did it stop being the "Theory of Evolution"?
A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. If enough evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, it moves to the next step—known as a theory—in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon.

........sigh.....you even got that wrong! the quote says nothing of the sort, it says 'Only a sith lord deals in absolutes', not 'Sith lords say there are no absolutes!'.........and if something is no longer a theory, in either definition of the word, it doesn't mean it then can only be and must be absolute.

You do not have even a basic grasp of science nor evolution and so your rejection of them both in favour of a set of myths and superstitions is to be expected (unfortunately).

No im just caught up in the fact that a person living in the developed west can be so willfully ignorant on the issue and yet still attempt to lecture others on it. How does a mind come to the conclusion that doing so is a good idea??

Speak to many scientists do you?.....
Yurp its just a theory right? its just an idea those crazy 'scientists' have because they hate gawd....

The problem might be that evolution just doesn't make a lick of sense in the first place.
And I'm not the only who makes that claim.

I'd like the OP to address the information I provided in my post - HERE . Part of the premise of the opening post counted on 'the flood' happening. I gave proof that it didn't. Would the OP please address and acknowledge the information I provided? Thank you.
Now do you see that Evolution is a theory?
I see. So, you prefer a book of Bronze and Iron age myths over actual science. Interesting.
