You know that fossilization is a rare event. You also know that no fossil found to date contradicts the ToE. You have also been told that the fossil evidence is also supported by evidence for the ToE from other sciences such as genetics. That's a long way from your unsupported assertion of 'imagination.
So because fossilization is a rare event and the fossil record is actually a poor source of evidence for macro-evolution, we can't rely on it to prove anything?
You say there is no known fossil to date that contradicts evolution? I wonder if that would be because science gives fossils their voice in the first place? Science is hardly going to contradict itself....but if the fossils could speak for themselves...then we would hear an interesting story.
So, when we can't rely on fossils, we now hand the reigns over to genetics.....but do genetics really prove anything?...except that we share a lot of the same DNA as bananas?
So what is your basis for asserting that students don't know that scientific theories are not proven? I learned it from my teachers years before university.
I have seen interviews with students from various field of study in the sciences and they are sure that evolution is a fact...not an unproven theory. Perhaps your teachers were believers in ID?
you are misusing the word 'proof' here, or perhaps you still don't understand it.
Oh yes, I forgot about the scientific definition thingy.....must change the definition of words so that we don't appear to be telling porkey pies. Yep....got it.
This stale ID argument has been debunked so many times already it's not worth bothering with.
How many times in this thread alone have you been told that evolution proceeds by small increments, and the better-adapted individuals produce more offspring?
And please show us where in any demonstrable way that there is proof that creatures can morph into other creatures.
The only thing science can actually state with any certainty is that fruit flies can become various species of fruit flies and stickleback fish can become a new variety of....stickleback fish. Bacteria can adapt to become a new species of....bacteria!
The JW ladies who visited me would not accept written material either about my religion, nor about evolution.
I wouldn't either.....you know why? After years of engaging people in conversation about religion and evolution, do you really think there is much left for us to know? Unless of course you follow a religion that I have never heard of. Are you free to share what beliefs you follow?
I left Christendom decades ago, so who can tell me anything about their beliefs that I don't already know? I investigated Mormonism and Eastern religions in my youth and even had a dabble in evolution for a while. If experience is the best teacher then I guess I am pretty well educated after 40 odd years of those conversations. I learn a lot from the people who post on this site. Those who have beliefs I am not acquainted with, along with those who have their very own religion. Belief, even if it's unbelief, is a fascinating thing.
Please understand that we cover a wide variety of topics in our weekly studies so we have no need to read about your religion specifically or about evolution either. We have all the information we need. We all have access to the Internet, so that we can research whatever we like. I love to do research, it always confirms the truth for me.
