Of course that all depends on who controls the information in the future and the human race ever becomes a slave to a system of control.
A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. The word theory is not used in science as it is in laymans jargon. So, for all intents and purposes the 'theory' of evolution is indeed a fact. Also, there is a difference between evolution and abiogenesis, which is how life originated. Also, if people will never stop studying these things because mans thirst for knowledge is far too strong, and I for one support that

Some day, when you feel that final flutter in your chest and you realize it is more then just another papiltation......... the doctor tells you "there is nothing more we can do"......you look up and see a semi truck heading right for you......birds strike both engines on the jet your on, as you take off.......you allow Obama to remain president and Muslims launch a bio-attack.......your last thought as the clot lodged in your brain lets loose..........tell me what you think, what your believe.

Tell me where conscious awareness came from, what love and emotion is, (not just what part of the brain it fires from, but actually what it is, where energy masses from at the core level of black particles, what happened before the big bang.

I for one, do not take the bible in a total literal sense, but I know life, in all the universe started somewhere and came from something, or someone. There is not other explanation.

Your life, spirit, soul and human flesh and bones are energy. Energy cannot die, it just changes form. When you die, your spirit lives on and science is proving this theory more and more. At what level you move on, we do not yet know, but your energy form does not cease.
Explain the NDE stories from children and elderly people incapable of telling stories.

Your energy form most certainly does cease, as you said yourself two sentences prior. The "forms" of the energy and matter change by positive entropy from something that can support consciousness to something that, as far as anyone knows, cannot.

In your case I believe...you're already brain-dead

This was quite the non-sequitur....what does this have to do with evolution?

Also, nice job on working in the anti-Obama reference. As if your post could possibly be any less germane to the topic at hand!

Overall: an excellent post that has ABSOLUTELY no point. Thank you- I think I actually felt myself getting more stupid from reading it.

I have seen a gun pointed at my body. Religion did not come to mind but aim and fire first did.

I've been shot at and had a gun aimed at me. My thoughts went to take cover, and get the gun away from the nut!

Pretty much the same thing in the scientific community.

the bible is also theory

The bible's as much of a theory as The Lord of the Rings.

Not scientifically. SInce evolution has mountains of physical evidence, and creationism doesn't.

Default Silly referneces to Obama

Maybe the Muslims will hire Dubya. He's out of work and might be suited to do some of their dirty work. Anyway, he knows how things work at the federal level. Or is that he knows how to work things? Oh shoot. I'm sorry. I am referencing de-evolution which is definitely off topic.
