@BigG99: Not exactly a "guess", but of course it it just the knowledge we have at this point in time. The likelihood that this will change is extraordinarily slim. There are simply too many proofs which pack up the theory.

Galileo Galilei made some mistakes, so I'll stick to be a geocentrist. Isaak Newton wasn't exactly right so I believe in intelligent falling and denies integrals in math. Columbus believed he did find India, means the earth is flat and America doesn't exis (haven't seen it myself). Einstein sucked at math and didn't accepted kvantum physics, means matter isn't energy. Pasteur didn't know about anti-biotics, means infections aren't caused by microorganisms. Make sense? Not!

@CosmopolitanNo1 The true facts are that his theory is vigourously disputed. After all it is not a fact or it wouldn't still be call the "THEORY of Evolution". A reasonable mind can't deny that.

[BigG99]

@CosmopolitanNo1 well i guess we will have to wait and see.. most of evolution is based on assumptions.layers are assumed in rock because have never observed them forming exept for rapidly due to valcanic eruption and floods. yet they claim it took millions of years, and then they date and write the evolutionary tree based on those layers. its flawed, its assumptive. we have a long way to go to understanding the big questions of this world.

[BigG99]

@CosmopolitanNo1 the real issue isnt wether the science is good or bad, its about the worldview.. if you believe that things happened over a long period of time, those assumptions go into the scientific method like carbon dating and so on. layers in strata for instance can develope in many ways. there is a humanist paradigm or belief in science. that belief can change. right now evolution stands as the best guess, one day ill guarantee that will change.

[MomoTheBellyDancer]

The problem is that creationists always lean on authority figures, so they think scientists do as well. They cannot for the life of them comprehend that Darwin is not considered the be-all and end-all of biology.

[MrShineSilver]

Yes, Darwin was naive at the time. Why? Because he lived in the 1800's. He made mistakes, like all scientists do. But what he believed remains true. He lined up some pieces of the puzzle, but he lined up a few wrong incorrectly. But the big picture he was creating is staring us all in the face. Evolution is real.

To Emil Silvestru: If your whole idea started on a false premise like that, and then you built onto that non-existent foundation -- you fail. Sorry "Dr".

@karlkarlkarl1234 " Whoa yeah heard that place is off the chart in academic standards."

Well your complaint seemed to be that you thought he had gone to a bible college (which is some way discredits everything he says). I was just showing you that Dr. Silvestru studied and worked at a legitimate academic center. Not just any institution can hand out PhD's. It is an internationally recognized degree and for a university to have a doctorate program they all need to meet guidelines and standards.

"Dr Silvestru earned his Ph.D in geology at the ‘Babes-Bolyai’ University in Cluj, Romania"

Whoa yeah heard that place is off the chart in academic standards.
