Nice post, but it begs the same old question.
Why work to debunk evolution? Are you trying to strengthen the theory of evolution by closer examination or are you trying to destroy it? If it's the latter, what is the alternative to evolution? There has to be an alternative theory, right? If it's creationism? What does that mean to you? And are you talking about Christian Creationism of the new earth variety? Lot's of questions.

the THREAD TOPIC is evolution. the content of the thread is determined specifically by the thread topic and generally by the forum topic. or thats how its supposed to go i think. could be wrong but i doubt it.
you failed to mention those explanations you were given. and im still waiting for them.

The funny thing about that is that the debate hasn't even started yet. It's merely people talking about what they think they know about evolution, but they are mostly not even arguing anything that has anything to do with evolution. There hasn't been an actual debate about evolution in years, just false claims perpetuated by creationists based on faith and creationist websites run by scientifically illiterate people.

Sigh... The OP of this thread is proof that we have yet to discover intelligent life on this planet.
Evolution is a proven scientific FACT, monumental scientific ignorance like this (when allowed to spread) pollutes an entire generation of humans who aren't quite smart enough to understand evolution and also aren't smart enough to understand the utter creationist BS the OP is spouting. But the OP makes it sound plausible by their choice of emotive language. Has the OP even read Charles Darwin's books!?

its a theory actually, but the best to date, yes.

A scientific theory is pretty much fact though. I see fact and scientific theory to be near synonymous. The process of genetic mutations and natural selection are 100% proven and that is the fundamental process that the theory is based on. If the premise is fact, then evolution is fact, we just don't know every single detail about how it works. The only parts of the theory of evolution that are not facts are hypotheses that are actively being tested and questions about filling in small gaps and time frames in earth's history for which there is little fossil evidence.

a scientific theory is part face and part speculation. otherwise it wouldnt be called a theory.
again im not saying its rubbish im saying its technically still a theory because some questions remain unanswered.
