The Theory of Evolution is correct

Thank you, I look forward to reviewing the science with you. Good. >>Your opening argument, unfortunately, reveals a lack of familiarity with science, which makes me wonder if you know what the actual Theory of Evolution (ToE) says.<< It is amusing that every time I challenge an evolutionist , they ALWAYS say I don't understand science. IMO, those who accept the TOE as science do not understand science, especially genetics. The make such foolish and condensing statement simply for one reason---I disagree with them. If you can offer just one thing in the TOE that has been proven scientifically, I will accept your statement. Now be specific, what don't I understand about science and what make you think someone you have never talked to does not understand the theory? It was taught it in high school and in collage. Again you jugement comes down to on point--I disagree with what you believe. >>First, science does not engage in proof. << Of course it does. To think they are not engaged in proving/disapproving ideas would make science a waste of time. >>Proof is for mathematics and whiskey.<< Amusing but innaccurate. So ToE, like the Theory of Gravity or Atomic Theory, proves nothing. << You are halfright. Teh TOE proves nothing because it is not science based. While all of the truths about gravity may not be know, if you drop a rock i t will always fall down because of gravity. That PROVES at least one thing about the the LAWS of gravity. When a theory becomes proven, it is then called a law. That is why evolution is still in the theory category. >>It explains a large class of phenomena, based on evidence, not proof. Science is about evidence, not proof.<< No, science is abut gathering evidence to prove/disprove a theory. >> When something is overwhelmingly supported by the evidence, science accepts it as correct. That is exactly where we are with ToE. Because the evidence overwhelmingly supports ToE, modern Biology accepts is as correct. << That statement shows a lack of understanding of even basic genetics, and there is no evidence that supports evolution. >>As to what it explains, it explains the diversity of life on earth...<< How? Wha evidence can you offer that is true that explains diversity? >>which is quite a lot, if you think about it.<< If there is so much evidence how about mentioning one of two you consider the best. >> That is why is the foundational theory of modern biology.<< The ToE is not the foundation of biology. Biology is real science whose efforts have proved many things. Evolution is not even pseudo-science. >>Second, to say "God did it," is not an explanation at all.<< Let's leave God out of this discussion and stilk to science. >> Science is not about who, it's about how.<< Agreed. ToE, like all of science, makes no claims about God one way or the other. So let's agree, for the purpose of this debate, that God did it--specifically, your God. Your God, the God of the Bible, created all life on earth. We agree on that. The question ToE addresses is: how? How did God create this diversity of life?<< Stick to science. Ijhave not mentioned God and will not. Science, specifically, ToE, says that He did so by setting up a system in which new species emerge from existing species by descent with modification, plus natural selection. << Neither science or the ToE says God is responsible for diversity. >>Simply, when one group of organisms is separated from the larger group, over time, as the group changes, it eventually becomes so different from the original group that the two could no longer breed together. At that point, biology recognizes them as two separate species. That is the basic way we get new species, and is the core of ToE. Do you agree or disagree that this happens?<< OK, now explain how a group of organism separates from a larger group and becomes separate and distinct species. Wht is the mecanism that causes this? >>If not, what is your explanation for how God created all the different species on earth?< According the the Bible God spoke the universe and all it contains into being. What is your explanation as to how all the matter in the universe and life came into being? >>Also, do you accept that the scientific method is the best method we have for learning the truth about the natural world? In other words, do you attack science itself, or are you claiming that science works, but your science is better than the mainstream, consensus view of modern Biology?<< I have a higher view of science than you do. I accept that science has proven many things that help man survive and live better. Modern Biology says diversity is not possible. Biology rightly teaches that all characteristics are a result of the gene pool of the parents. No offspring can acquire a characteristic for which neither parent had the gene for. If the evolution guess as to the first life form is correct, and it is not, that singe cell had not bones, no need for bones and no gene for bones. Therefore, biology says that cell cannot be the cause of all the diversity of life we see today. I know that strictly speaking evolution is not about first life, but it originally was and still should be. One of the first theories about how life began said it started in the primordial ooze. Of course the never say how that ooze originated. I am looking forward for your example of something the TOE has proved scientifically.
