 If evolution has no basis in science, as you seem to contend, why do so many scientists seem to accept it?  Is everyone but you and the Christian right driven by ideology?
 
 |  My rant started with someone taking a potshot at another poster who claimed to be a creationist- the potshoter (AG maybe?) took a superior attitude like he KNEW the creationist was full of shit- So I took it upon myself to take him down a peg- since then I'm stuck with doing this over and over---
 
when most people say evolution they mean natural selection as a way of changing species plus some scientific basis to the beginnings of life (ie god didn't do it). You really can't intelligently argue that NS causes species to evolve, and that is what has been proven to the extent any part of evolution can be proven- I accept this part- okay- bob moths et al.
 
But on the "how did things start" part there are huge gaps- how did the first cell start? there are at least theories on this, although most people in ths field will tell you its a billion to one shot- okay the world has been around for billions of years so that's possible. 
 
But there are other parts where I can't even find a theory- how did those single celled animals become multi- celled? How did an organism with a few cells develop organ systems? Early organisms simply split- how did sexual reproduction come from that?
 
sidd- google your ass off you'll not find any explaination for any of that. My only point ever has been don't be smug when someone doesn't believe in your science because your science is incomplete.
 
Maybe science started it- maybe an intergallactic cruise ship emptied it waste here and we sprung from that or maybe it was "god." 
 
I don't know and I only pick on people who think they do when they pick on others who think they do, but different. |
