Did you really just claim that the closest to and absolute in science that we have is a theory? lol, good one!
Sorry dude, if it was an absolute it would not be called a theory.
ty, I bow out to that logic.
The jokes on you buddy. The term "scientific theory" doesn't mean what you think it would in lay mans terms. Most people use the word theory for a completely different meaning in day to day speech. Words often have multiple meanings. In a scientific context the word "theory" is reserved for hypothesis which have been proven, once it has been proven it becomes a "theory".edit on 4-12-2011 by polarwarrior because: (no reason given)
And yet it is not proven, it's a theory.
There are no transition fossils showing a rabbit to a bird, or an ape to a man.
Yes, you have a neandertal, and on the other end you have a man. Then the rest is guesswork and theory.
Big difference between macro and micro.

Evolution has observable evidence, but can not be repeated by experiment.

DNA sequencing adds evidence to support the theory, but also leaves questions regarding the original concept of the theory and so the theory is continuously adapting to support new evidence. That is scientific, and the marks of a good theory, but it is not, yet, airtight.

It was science and not religion which developed a new theory that the planets, including the earth, orbited the sun. Again, cultures (including religions) adapted.

Note about the Flat Earth: Culture had a problem with a spherical world, but not so much the world's religions.

So now we have a major perspective shift. It upsets some (hardly all) Jews, Christians and Muslims, because they had taken part of the Creation story to mean something other than what is intended.
Similarly, some have taken the first "day" of creation's "Let there be light..." to refer to the sun; but perhaps it refers to the release of energy in the Big Bang? But then again, perhaps it refers to the spiritual Reality, and not at all to the material creation.

For over a thousand years, one culture would enslave another culture, certain that their own culture was superior and the only "true humans" (and, for example, at least one American Indian tribe's name means just that). But before science could show us that we are all related back to about 60,000 years ago, culture had already begun to adapt to the concept that all races are equally human-- equally deserving of respect.

Need I point out that religion, and religious people, had very much to do with bringing about that true cultural concept-shift, before science entered the argument?

The four corners of the earth refer to the four cardinal directions (or points) of earth.
you say you are clearly not part of any religion,and you have not one ounce of religion in you,however you quote from religious text as if it is truth. Your a hypocrite. Tell me something my friend, you say you know who you are. Tell us. Tell us who you are.

You have to bribe me or scare me, thats how religion works.
I have no intention of bribing you... You understand or you don't, thats just the way it is... Those that walk with me understand the path, those that follow have yet to learn what is needed... Its your choice... One that no one can make for you
Clearly you can see im not part of any religion..
Im telling you that you have a choice, and i couldn't care less what your choice is...
Religon tells you follow us or burn... Im telling you, this is the path... You don't have to believe it, but listen to your heart and "see" what is truth...
Big difference my friend...
You will not find an ounce of "religion" in me... I am who i am... and nothing more

from a material view, matter changes. " evolves " . Material things are always evolving, or changing into different things. Water becomes ice. Ice becomes steam.mountains become valleys. Material things have parts. That which has parts can be taken apart, or broken down on to smaller parts. Spiritual things have no parts and are the whole of themselves. Spirit can never be anything other than what it is. Spirit can not evolve.

Again... how does evolution disprove "god" and how would a spiritual existence disprove evolution? Nobody ever seems comfortable answering this question and it's almost like people don't hear it when I ask it; I just see their eyes glaze over then they start going in circles again as if I hadn't asked it.

Think really hard on this one. You'll get get. SPIRIT CAN NOT EVOLVE!. How can it? It has nothing to evolve into. Something that has no shape,size,weight,color,mass, can not become something else.
