You’re gonna get so spanked. And you’re not even gonna realise it.

Ok so we all know the difference
Scientific theory is different because, blah blah
Evidently evolution has so much solid evidence that evolution doesn't need any more evidence, no I don't get that either
So what is this other evidence that proves evolution conclusive, the provable facts as Peter Vlar explains
What are these facts that inform the theory of evolution
Some one care to list them so I can make fun of others lack of scientific knowledge and childlike faith in scientific Wooo
Vestigial organs is a good one too though

Well stop the commentary dear boy and step in to the fray.
Put your big boy pants on and let's do this dance
What, vestigial organs? Go on I dare you.

There could be another option for a differing camp in science that could come up with one but at present only one camp occupies main stream . Rupert Sheldrake's banned TED talk and the story around that is quite telling .
I think a better question to ask is what alternative non-magical theories of human origin exist, and what evidence exists to support them?

There's a rather robust science developed around the theory of evolution. There are volumes written about the available evidence and scientists' interpretation of how those pieces of the puzzle fit together. And there is an endless stream of ATS threads that rehash this subject over and over again.

Theres a stack of threads that show things you clearly "don't get"... but as for your question
Sure... We like more evidence, to stack upon the pile...
Plus the fact that we can observe it happening... not that its actually needed
Obviously you've seen this... but i figured we should add a few of your excuses to deny the theory to the first page
It should not be a big surprise that many can't escape the machine .
It staggers me that so many people believe because they are told and accept without even questioning what they are told to accept It's mind numbing
I found the subject to be interesting .As to "evolution" I have finally fit the word into my world view where I can make sense of it .But he does make a good point as to how the animals thinking evolves .Is there something happening at the quantum level ..? .. Hard to say but something seems to happen somehow .
Mentioning Sheldrake, are you talking about morphic fields? Do you think that morphic fields influence evolution?
I believe that the natural selection of habits will play an essential part in any integrated theory of evolution, including not just biological evolution, but also physical, chemical, cosmic, social, mental and cultural evolution (as discussed in The Presence of the Past).
Habits are subject to natural selection; and the more often they are repeated, the more probable they become, other things being equal. Animals inherit the successful habits of their species as instincts. We inherit bodily, emotional, mental and cultural habits, including the habits of our languages.
The morphic fields of social groups connect together members of the group even when they are many miles apart, and provide channels of communication through which organisms can stay in touch at a distance. They help provide an explanation for telepathy. There is now good evidence that many species of animals are telepathic, and telepathy seems to be a normal means of animal communication, as discussed in my book Dogs That Know When Their Owners are Coming Home. Telepathy is normal not paranormal, natural not supernatural, and is also common between people, especially people who know each other well.
