There is no god and evolution is a fact.

While I do support the idea of evolution I recognize that it is not a scientific fact but, rather a scientific theory. I do believe God exists. BOPMy opponent is making the claims evolution is a scientific fact and god does not exist. They must prove these conclusions as they are the ones making the claim. Evolution is a theoryThroughout this entire debate we must keep in mind that evolution is nothing more than a scientific theory. There is a major difference between scientific fact and scientific theory. A scientific fact is something which can be observed and measured. A scientific theory, on the other hand, are explanations which correlate and interpret facts. (1) Darwinian Evolution is not a fact as Darwin inferred his theory from three facts about populations (2). It is a theory according to the definition provided above. Since we cannot measure evolution it cannot be a scientific fact. Fossils"Several fossils have been found of creatures that is not found walking on earth. Concluding it is a fossil of an extinct specie. Confirming the evolution theory. "Man has found fossils of dinosaurs underground. Dinosaurs do not walk the earth. Therefore, dinosaurs are extinct. How exactly do dinosaur fossils support the theory of evolution? My opponent must be more specific with this point for it to be considered evidence. Similarities"There are anatomical and chemical similarities found between related species"In other words, related species are related. How does this support evolution? "If you take a look at the early stages of a creature (any animal or human), you see that the foetus is almost exactly the same, concluding they once were the same. "Please provide a source for this unverifiable statement. Also, is my opponent claiming the fetus of a cow is similar to the fetus of a human? Or the fetus/zygote of a human is similar to the human? Or the fetus of one human is similar to the fetus of another human? "Also have we established that some creatures have organs which have no use in todays society. For example take the coccyx of a human. Or the fact that whales have little armbones inside their bodies. "What is the point of this statement? Geographic Resemblance"The theory is that whenever a group of species gets split up, they start to adapt to their environment. "I believe my opponent flat out conceded evolution was not a fact but, rather, a theory. A better title for this would be adaptation anyway. Now onto God"the lack of evidence supporting god and the overwhelming evidence supporting evolution points out that evolution is more plausible than creationism"Evolution being more plausible than creationism does not disprove God. Why could God not have guided the evolutionary process? "We have not yet discovered how the universe was made (although there are theories)"I agree, there are theories such as the Big Bang Theory. Evolution is another scientific theory. "that doesn't automatically mean a higher power made it"You have yet to prove God does not exist. But, something must have made the universe. Is the Kalam Cosmological Argument (3) completely invalid? Do you deny the existence of a first cause or first mover? What exactly is your reasoning behind this statement? "God is entirely made up so people could explain things they didn't understand"I believe this is what you are trying to prove. "And nowadays it's used to control great masses of people"I would like to see some documentation of this assertion. And how exactly does this prove God does not exist? My opponent has not proven a scientific theory to be a scientific fact nor have they proven God does not exist.
