Why Evolution Is A "theory"

I'm quite nervous and I'm aware of my southern accent, but the accent doesn't mean I'm unintelligent. There are many ums, to which I'm trying to eradicate from my speaking, but please bear with me.

Yes it did get through. I am on my way home from work and will give a thorough response when I get there.

[AConvincedAtheist]

The second definition is "a particular set of these beliefs" referring to a deity.

[AConvincedAtheist]

I am going to end this right here. Religion defined by dictionary. com is "belief in and worship of a God or other superhuman agency". There you have it. It requires a deity.

[pearjam90]

That's not all atheism is, but those tenants that i stated before are some of the many beliefs that all atheism holds.

[AConvincedAtheist]

@pearjam90 Atheism doesn't have any beliefs at all.It is simply disbelief which implies no belief.

@dancedaze it has been tested in a lab on plants. Evolution is used in medicine to predict the mutations of viruses for vaccinations. It has been shown to be true in every possible account. And a theory is concise red a fact, which is all I'm saying. In science, evolution is considered true, whether you agree with science or not, is your problem.

[tttdub]

It does not imply a belief. Take for example, you don't believe in Thor. Does that say anything about what you do believe? No! Case closed. It's a very simple concept to grasp.

[DanceDayz]

He says 'Evolution is a theory which has been tried and tested'. NO IT HASNT. If you watch the explaination of DNA then it assumes ancestors. The exact same arguement applies to creationists. As for the authors quote "and it cant be put into an equation!" Well I could - it would be B+U+L+L+S+H+I+T

[saleemsmall]

@AConvincedAtheist  which still implies a belief

[joshgura]

belief is the sole and only basis of any specific reality. reality is just a description. science, like religion, is dependent on belief. science is a practice and a tradition, just exactly like religion.

@AConvincedAtheist I spent some time and looked it up and The law of Thermodynamics and inertia are universal law. Like gravity they affect everything. nothing is outside of Universal Laws (even planets observe gravity). These laws undeniably proven. If we came from a similar ancestor the more humans mate and produced offspring the more inbred those offspring would become. NOT more evolved, But diseased (because the gene pool would not be evolving but devolving to a worst state) INERTIA.

@AConvincedAtheist Belief: Websters Dictionary, A persuasion of the truth, or an assent to the truth of a declaration, proposition, or alledged fact, on the ground of evidence, distinct from personal knowledge...a train of reasoning may result in belief..to leave with..to rest on...to rely. The greek word for belief is also translated as faith. If Atheism has none of this, I would hate to live with your conscience.

@pearjam90 dude, you say that Hinduism does not have a higher deity, but it does.

In Hinduism, Brahman is the one supreme, universal Spirit that is the origin and support of the phenomenal universe. Brahman is sometimes referred to as the Absolute or Godhead which is the Divine Ground

you, my friend, are refering to Buddhism. i would advise you to do your research before commenting

[Gnomeman55]

wrong, there is a difference between belief and disbelief. christians believe that there is a higher power. we atheists believe that there is NO higher power. we do not disbelieve in a higher power, that makes no sense. just thought i'd put it out there
