Scientific Theory
A scientific theory comprises a collection of concepts, including abstractions of observable phenomena expressed as quantifiable properties, together with rules (called scientific laws) that express relationships between observations of such concepts. A scientific theory is constructed to conform to available empirical data about such observations, and is put forth as a principle or body of principles for explaining a class of phenomena.[1] A scientific theory is a type of inductive theory, in that its content (i.e. empirical data) could be expressed within some formal system of logic whose elementary rules (i.e. scientific laws) are taken as axioms.
Scientific theories have verifiable proof of their validity. Does this seem to qualify them as having "truth" in your mind?! If not, why?edit on 8-5-2011 by unityemissions because: (no reason given)

I see.
You choose to remain ignorant.
Noted.

Because the THEORY of evolution is based on a MULTITUDE OF SUPPORTING, FACTUAL EVIDENCE.

Hypothetical scenario, read carefully.
Fact- The suspect was the last one scene with the victim.
Fact- The suspect owns a car that is similar to the one seen where the victims body was found
Fact- When the suspect was arrested he was carrying the victims wallet.
Based on the above facts was the suspect guilty of killing the victim
Yes
No
Maybe

Yes, so the difference between your theory and Evolutionary theory is that Darwin used facts to assert his claims, you have used nothing.

I'm not arguing anything I know it's a theory, I was just trying to clarify the other guy's argument for you

We're still one species. Race and species are two different things. Species can interbreed, and the next generation can continue to have offspring. Pretty much the jist of the definition.
We EVOLVED to have subtle genetic variations which were best suited to our environments which stayed mostly the same, as long as we didn't travel much. So, it has to do with differences in climate, and available food sources, mostly. For instance, light pigmentation was a genetic adaption due to living in higher latitudes, and consequently, not getting as much vitamin-d production from solar radiation. The lighter we are, the more efficient this conversion process is. The converse is also true.

Not so far from the truth as some might think :
I'm also fairly certain of one thing : there are ways to activate parts of our DNA that the 'governments' and 'banks' and 'corporations' would rather we were very, very ignorant of. Let's just be glad that they don't totally control us, and that if we really want to pursue this stuff, we can do.edit on 7-5-2011 by Hitoshura because: (no reason given)
It is their hypothesis that alien genetic material was inserted several times in the past leading to these developments.
The team has hypothesized that “A higher extraterrestrial life form was engaged in creating new life and planting it on various planets, including Earth”. For those familiar with the Ancient Astronaut theory, this will sound very familiar as this is one of the most prevalent statements they claim.

Why don't you start a thread about the theory of evolution and state your case as to why you believe it is a fact. If you had the guts you would do it but as I can tell you would rather argue about it on an unrelated thread.
