yes, when ever someone says "its JUST a theory " what they are actually saying is "I am scientifically illiterate and I have no idea what the word THEORY even means "
Well-put, Maestro! I admire your intensely literate and rational contributions. This one especially raised my spirits immensely. Maximum stars for you, Darwin and everyone who assisted, from him to today's evo-devo wizards. All the best!
Continued..... Religion doesn't do this it cant because accepting the bible or Koran or any religious text has mistakes is admitting your God or deity is fallible. And theists judge science in the same way, its like if science makes one mistake then all science must be wrong...We all know that to scientists a mistake or finding out something is incorrect is just as informative as proving something correct, it eliminates a way of thinking and leads to other discovery's.
Creationist's think Scientists , don't know anything because they appear to be changing their minds about the world around us all the time. They don't understand that this is due to progression of knowledge. When we learn something new about the world around us it has a knock on effect, and things we thought were correct are proved wrong by the new knowledge and therefore either change or we are left with a question mark about it.........
@Answerquestions1 They are wrong and those who debate the subject regularly with proponents of evolution must be fully aware that they are wrong and yet how often do you come across Christians telling other Christians not to use such dishonest debate tactics?
or maybe the theory evolution is not as valid as relativity, germs or other scientific theories. calling evolution a ´´theory´´ does not make it as valid as gravity.
string theory is also a thoery ¿would you say that it is as valid as relativity?
@Answerquestions1 The value of theories is how well they predict and how well they stand up to testing and disproof. Of course this means that some theories are in a stronger position than others. It is also in the nature of science as a career that strong theories attract strong challenges because the rewards for deposing or heavily amending a well regarded theory are much bigger than those for toppling a sketchy and outlandish hypothesis.
In order to believe the earth is 6000 years old and man was made out of mud and women made from man's rib you must dismiss the following: Modern cosmology, modern genetics, radiometric dating methods, geology, D.N.A. sequence testing, phylogenetic evidence, anthropology, evolutionary biology. All, ALL well tested and well demonstrated. There is so much evidence for common descent among all living things to deny it is like saying the earth is flat.
@metalsusa1 last i heard the theory of relativity was under question, because CERN had witnessed particles go faster than the speed of light. and this means all the well accepted and believed scientific theories of main stream physics would be effected.
@aaugoaa In one of there tests it appeared one of the particles traveled 60 nanoseconds faster then the speed of light. More tests have to be done to get a good handle on it. Stay tuned.
@metalsusa1 well i read that it was a stream of neutrinos, which are like ghostly particles around 15,000 neutrinos, not one particle as you seem to think. and they tracked them over 3 years, and have scrutinised their results and cannot find any obvious errors. they moved faster than the speed of light. but they are asking for a second opinion. all the once accepted theories and absolute evidence of the fundamentals of physics will have to be reconsidered.
@aaugoaa All science it's a work in progress. Einstein radically altered Newtons law of motion with his Theory of Relativity. Newtons laws of motion still work, Einstein just added space time, showed that space is really a kind of fabric that bends to large mass objects showing how light curves around it and that time isn't the same everywhere in the universe. If there is objects that travel faster then the speed of light I'm fine with that. I follow the evidence where it goes.
@aaugoaa When science finds new evidence theories get changed. When religion comes across new evidence it denies it and tries to have those who found it killed if it has the power to do so.
@MartinJWillett You did the right thin blocking aaugoaa this user has sock accounts in abundance, I had dealings with her and severa of herl friends a few years back, they flagged my videos and trolled my account.
@MartinJWillett What's up with this nut job aaugoaa? I tried to debate her on one of her video's concerning evolution. She claims she wont debate evolution because everyone brings up religion or atheism yet her video "Typical Evolution Argument" is a classic creationist hatchet job if I ever saw one.
How do you tell the delusional that their delusional? She's quite arrogant and snobbish to boot.
@metalsusa1 I block idiots who use multiple punctuation. I never block anybody for what they say (unless it is a personal insult) only for how they say it. I do this for enjoyment, when people stop me from enjoying it I fuck them off.
@metalsusa1 I made videos refuting what aaugoaa said in her videos a couple of years ago all I got for my trouble was my channel flagged and terminated, my advice is leave her alone if you care about your channel. She isn't worth the trouble people like her will stay ignorant for life, plenty more creationists to point their errors out to ;-)
@VindicatorReturns If flagging campaigns is the best she has, I am not impressed. And as far as her original comment goes, regarding the discovery of neutrinos that go faster than light and the calling into question the theory of relativity? My Answer: So? That has nothing to do with evolution, let alone the topic at hand, which is (primarily) Christians playing word games to discredit the theory of evolution.
This video needs to be shown in all science classes beginning in grammar school all the way up to college level. It's so simple, yet I have never heard a science teacher at any level explain it so clearly and simply.
Only thing you need to shut up any creationist is to compare the economical value of "creationism" vs biological evolution theory. Which one of the two will produce useful predictions that will get you information worth a dime? Same can be applied to flat earth and geocentric universe nutters.
Hundreds of thousands of peer reviewed articles, experiments, test, fossils, genetic science, ect. and not a fail yet. Hundreds of thousands of attacks and not one proved valid. Creationists are dishonest morons.

To the "it's just a theory" false-argument, I generally answer simply with this short sentence :
The theory of evolution is the model used to explain the fact, or law, of evolution.
