(Stephen Jay Gould)
Evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts do not go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's, but apples did not suspend themselves in mid-air, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape-like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered.[2]

  • the Michael likes the way you think. Good job.

    Shitty comments and ratings though. That's a shame.

  • Thanks!

  • Evolution does not prove or disprove god.What circle are you talking about?

  • "That's why it's called the theory of evolution and I don't want to hear any shit about how scientists have some special definition for theory either"

    This is the most ignorant comment on this video.Congratulations.

  • well said. the ending was cash haha

  • @sevenYearOldBoy Evolution is a process, a proven fact, there is a theory to show how it happened.

  • @sevenYearOldBoy germs, atoms, cells and the heliocentric theory are all theories, the fact of evolution is that living things change over time, proven fact, the theory explains the literaly MILLIONS of facts

  • definetly a votebot situation...which is bullshit!

  • Good, but your volume is too low....

  • well man a supposedly intelligent creature which is in doubt manipulated dogs into different breeds implies it took an intelligence to manipulate different species. I t is hard to believe a non thinking process created life. Kind of absured if you ask me.

  • @worldlystone it disproves god think about it why did god allow the extinction of Neanderthals or go back to genesis god created adam of clay and water and eve of his rib

  • pls try to understand!!! DId you know that all things in universe are ORGANIZE! did u believe that about 1% only discovered human by its research

  • Sorry, doc.. that wasn't supposed to be directed at you.

  • If your mind is not expansive enough to truly appreciate the beauty of the science, then I can understand how you might feel a bit bitter.

    Like the kid who can't see the sailboat on the magic eye poster. Except you still assert that everybody else is wrong.

    Bless.
