Correct, evolution is a theory. You're half way there. Now learn what a theory is. There is no excuse for your ignorance.

[HybridD91]

Creationism isn't a theory, it's barely a hypothesis. It doesn't have facts and experiments to support it. Learn what a theory is.

[AtomicBl453]

Creationism is more of an idea concocted as a theory with no supporting facts. When I say 'facts' I am implying tangible evidence. Evolution can be proven, have you noticed how children take on the traits of their parents? It's alright, you can clean the brain matter off of your monitor from that mind blowing fact.

I don't really understand. How do we not understand our world without being rational? Even priorities are something that must be organized according to our own ethics...

[Thomas Scully]

Snap lol. My view is more along the lines of, SORT IT FUCKING OUT PEOPLE. ;D

[Neurolanis]

Ironically, I find this a more left-side (logical) explanation of what I’ve always felt wrong about humanity and the world we’ve built. Well done.

[Georges Lurk]
