Can anyone back up the THEORY of evolution without junk science?

"The vast mysteries of the universe should only confirm our belief in the certainty of its Creator. I find it as difficult to understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science." --Werner von Braun, the father of space science "Faith does not imply a closed, but an open mind. Quite the opposite of blindness, faith appreciates the vast spiritual realities that materialists overlook by getting trapped in the pruely physical." --Sir John Templ

First, we need to prove that every living thing is born from at least one living parent - that's an easy one, as life doesn't create itself spontaneously

Next, we need to prove that there is an enormous variety of life in the plant and animal kingdoms - another easy one as we can see this with our own eyes as we look around

Finally, we must prove that simpler forms of life came into existence long before more complex forms of life - this can be a sticky one.

The first two are easily proven, but we need to prove the third to prove evolution is a factual thing that occurs. However, we all need to take the word of scientists when they say they dug down deep and only found simple forms of life, unless we are willing to take the shovel into our hands and do it ourselves.

If one wants to disprove evolution then they only need to dig deep and keep finding fossils of complex organisms. That, in and of itself, would be absolute proof that evolution is a lie. However, if one continues to dig and they keep finding lesser complex organisms, then is that to say they didn't dig far enough? That's the only valid argument against evolution and it will always remain until someone digs clear to the mantel of the Earth, which is impossible.

Myself, I believe in God and I believe in evolution. In fact, I believe evolution is a mechanism used by God to create new life forms. However, just because one chooses to believe or disbelieve in evolution doesn't stop it from occurring, it's just a difficult concept to take in as it happens over many lifetimes, so we never actually witness it occur.

So ... no junk science ... just three facts which are easily proven. Also, no Darwinism either, as Darwin was wrong about much of what he said, but Darwin wasn't the father of evolution, he was just someone trying to explain how he thought it worked ... and he made a few mistakes along the way. :)

Does junk science means the science you failed in school? Living things change little by little over the generations.

OK yoshi, look up and explain for me, since its what you've stated would blow up the THEORY, the cambrian explosion. And if Darwin isn't the father of this THEORY, who was? If you want me to take your "three facts" into consideration, could you give me some legitimate reference for your conclusions?

Absolutely not. The "science" of evolution consists of shifting the burden of proof, which yoshi97 did in their comment:

"If one wants to disprove evolution then they only need to dig deep and keep finding fossils of complex organisms. That, in and of itself, would be absolute proof that evolution is a lie. However, if one continues to dig and they keep finding lesser complex organisms, then is that to say they didn't dig far enough? That's the only valid argument against evolution and it will always remain until someone digs clear to the mantel of the Earth, which is impossible." It's impossible to disprove something, unless you are everywhere at once. The Oort cloud is the perfect example. Theoretically, it is 50,000 astronomical units away, meaning that it would be positively impossible to view, even if it were true. To say "prove to me that there is NO evidence of evolution" is silly. Prove to ME that there IS any actual shred of evidence, and I will comply.

They also use examples of micro evolution (for example, the variations in species, like breeds of dogs) to prove the ridiculous theories of all kinds of evolution (cosmic, chemical, stellar and planetary, organic and macro evolution) on a smaller scale, and, of course, circular reasoning, using carbon dating to determine the age of a fossil, while using the fossil to create carbon dating.

For goodness sake, please read The Immortal Kingdom Of A Universe - Parts 1,2,3 & 4, and bring about an end to this incessant confusion.

1) Evolution still has to prove its not false.

2) Evolution as too many hidden facts that contradict evolution. That in itself proves evolution is only a theory.

3) Evolution cannot go past this scientific fact, that nothing gets more complex and more intelligent as it evolves, but less complex and less intelligent with either the same information, or less. Genetics has proved this. Genetics is Science.
