I don't think anyone is denying that animals evolve and even create different species over time, but to create complex life forms out of base materials over time, out of nothing put pure dumb luck. That might be where people say it's simply an unprovable theory.
Evolution has nothing to do with abiogenesis. Why does that keep getting brought up as an argument against evolution? This is like using the color of the sky as a reason to argue against gravity.
I don't care if Darwin immacuately conceived, that doesn't change my point in the least. You will notice that none of these people are remembered for what they believed, but what they could prove. Creationism cannot be proven. Period.
never said it could be, which has me wondering what the hell your point is

No thats not at all what I was arguing. In fact I said just the opposite.
I said some scientists use what they learn in science to support their beliefe in creationism.
You are too busy trying to prove other people wrong, that you arent reading what they are saying.
Thats a theory, now where is the proof that we evolved as you described? Google doesnt fabricate evidence for you, even if you wish it did.
How can scientists use science to support an idea that has no physical evidence? Do you even have any clue as to what you're arguing here?
The last paragraph was humorous. Perhaps the biggest copout I've seen in quite a while.
Thats the best retort you could do? Thats pretty sad.. So if the link went to
Scienceisafactandcreationismisstupid.com, you'd accept whatever they said as a fact? Wow.. you have very low standards.
Did you even READ the content of what you copied and pasted from that religious site? It was complete non-science rubbish.

Uhh... you've said all through this thread that evolution is not a fact, and that it's just a theory.
Now you are saying evolution IS a fact as well as a theory? LOL! Well at least you've learnt something, even if you don't understand it.
Evolution itself is not a theory, it's a fact. The Theory of Evolution is a theory.
So you are saying Isaac Newton, Louis Pasteur, Blaise Pascal, and other famous scientists are wrong? Wow, thats some ego you got there..
If they believed in creationism, at least for that one idea, they most certainly abandoned the scientific process. Sorry, but fame doesn't equate to perfection or always being right.
Thats because religion is viewed as a "historical" event. You cant change history
We still view Christopher Columbus as the man who discovered america, but we all know thats not true.
The entire basis of religion is the belief in some higher being creating the entire universe. Since none of that is based on science or evidence, and cannot be proven to have happened at all, how is that historical?
Evolution has nothing to do with abiogenesis. Why does that keep getting brought up as an argument against evolution? This is like using the color of the sky as a reason to argue against gravity.
Sure it does. The same theory (Creationism) that invalidates abiogenesis also invalidates evolution.
idea formed by speculation: an idea of or belief about something arrived at through speculation or conjecture
You haven't read one word of the many posts defining a scientific theory have you?
