. With evolution it's tricky because you look at fossils and you end up making guesses.
That's not honest, is it?

If there was proof people wouldn't be debating it.
Proof isn't the same as evidence. Proof is necessary to prove something. Evidence can help support your claim, but it doesn't make your claim irrefutable.
If we evolved from apes, why are there still apes around.
Why haven't other creatures become as advanced as we are?
We should be seeing technologically advanced crocodiles or turtles by now, both of which are much older than humans.
Why are we the only exception?
It doesn't make sense and there's too many holes in evolution theory for me to accept. It feels like it's missing something.
1. Evolution is an objective process.
2. The objective process produced a survival instinct.
3. Survival is therefore objectively good.
4. What leads to survival is therefore objectively good. We call it moral.
5. What leads to non-survival is objectively bad. We call it immoral.
As long as we keep the conversation going, right?
I just see no point unless it does some good.
What percentage of all of this has led to something positive for anyone in any real sense? Agreement? Enlightenment? Unity? Clarity?
Returning, rest, quietness....... Much more valuable than a multitude of words
We didn't.
I know enough to know there's holes in it. I think some things are true and some aren't. If evolution was really proven, we wouldn't have people debating it. There wouldn't be anything to debate if it was truly proven.
A fact is obtained by evidence forcing to a conclusion resulting in a model of what is evidenced.
For example: there is the moon, and a book about the moon, containing the facts about the moon. The book about the moon is a copy of the moon to a world of words, pictures and mathematics. The ideal fact is a 1:1 copy containing no more or less information than the original.
There is little truth in rather mindless copying.
Only important facts are truth, and what is important is a matter of opinion. By reasonably judgement most facts are just facts and not truth.
Also it is possible to say that what decides which facts are important is truth, like saying love is truth, in which case truth is all opinion, and no fact.
the list of things evolutionists don't understand:
truth
fact
objectivity
opinion
subjectivity
material
spiritual
free will
choosing
the future
anticipation
creation
intelligent design
emotions
spirit
soul
In science, we're only debating the specifics of the ToE-- not the basic fact that it has been and still is happening.
In science, we really don't much use the term "proof", so your point is moot.
Because they have been able to survive without being us.
"Advanced" is a relative term. Go wrestle a crocodile in deep water and we'll see who then is "advanced".
Why would you think all animals supposedly have to be like us?
"Exception" in what?
No, what doesn't make sense is when someone who really doesn't know much about the ToE jumps to conclusions and makes absurd judgments. If you really don't much understand something, and you surely don't on this subject, common sense should tell you that it makes more sense to actually ask real question and do some studying on the subject.
It's rather clear that your religion has tainted your opinions, and if I were you, I'd look for at least a different denomination to maybe join because you're being fed garbage. And I should know as I grew up in one of those fundamentalist churches that taught the same kind of garbage.

...... a thermostat exemplifies rudimentary free will.....
This is how evolutionists deal with the obvious fact that freedom is real and relevant in the universe.
Evolution theory is a tragedy of the human being engrossed with the sin of knowledge of good and evil,.
and thereby God made them blind to the obvious fact that freedom is real and relevant in the universe.
It's clear that my religion has tainted my opinions? And you say I jump to conclusions...
I'm just open minded and don't blindly accept what people try to spoon feed me. There's many theories that we have in science and if anyone knows anything about science is that often theories are debunked and replaced with newer theories that make more sense. That's happened for years.
I find it kind of hard to believe that we evolve from apes yet apes are still not advanced. Is there really anything that explains why we've become worlds above the animals when it comes to intelligence? None of the other animals have displayed technology or psychic powers or anything like that despite other creatures being older than us.
Strange as it may sound I find Sitchen's books to explain the genesis of humans that make much more sense than evolution. But it's not a science approved book so I guess therefore it makes no sense right? In the 12th planet it explained that humans were actually ape like, although a little more intelligent but there were other entities or aliens that came to Earth looking for a means to help their own planet and needed labor, and basically they jumped the gun on evolution and shared their DNA with us, altering our appearance and intelligence. These aliens were worshipped as Gods and we even sort of looked like them, which is why in the bible it's said that we are "made in God's image", explains how humans, who were previously animal like and lived in caves or tribes, all of a sudden had a concept of civilization, money, ect since these entities taught them this and there are religious books of the deities educating the humans. But so many think Sitchen is kooky even though nobody explains why. Just that official scientists don't buy it so some people, like sheep, buy into it and even though Sitchen explains all of the reasons why we became what we are, certain customs that we participate in, ect.
I don't think humans evolved from fish or apes or anything like that as cells don't make radical changes like that. Besides the living organisms that shared the pre-humans' environment should have also evolved along with us. There should be multiple races on this planet that are on par with us in terms of enlightenment, civilization, technology ect.
Also Unification, religions doesn''t divide people. Look at how many people have fought even when Christians of the same belief have fought each other. Catholics against catholics, muslims against muslims ect. Take all the religions out and you will still see division, because all people are different.
I think there are 22 ERVs shared, but I could remember wrong. We also have over 100 transposons shared with chimps which are just as strong evidence as the ERVs.It was our common ancestor that was infected, and we both inherited the ERVs. ERVs provide the closest thing to a mathematical proof for evolution.
Can you be more specific?I will await you to demonstrate your premises.

Start with number three.Can you be more specific?
Except you reference God, which rather clearly indicates that your religious motivation is rather clearly involved one way or the other. So, my "jump to conclusions" was not a "jump" but a reality.
Again, you do not understand how "theory" is used in science, and since it's been mentioned to you before, and since you keep making the same mistake, it's obvious you have no intention whatsoever to be either "open-minded" or to actually try to learn.
This has already been explained, and yet you keep coming back with the same nonsense. "Open-minded"? Hardly.
You gotta be kidding?! This guy has a reputation for pseudo-science.
Again, as what already has been pointed out to you, geneticists should be mostly on your side if you were correct on this, but they ain't. Also, it doesn't take a ph.d. in genetics to understand that many small changes over a long period of time adds up.
Actually there used to be more "races" than what we now find, but humans have developed this greater ability to kill one another, thus most previous human groups are now extinct.
You are probably the only person on the planet that believes this. Religions sometimes unite peoples, but sometimes they divide.
A theory can also be a fact. There is no point in time when a scientific theory stops being a scientific theory unless it gets thrown out because of conflicting evidence. But no matter how sure or factual a theory is...its still a theory. And that is to no discredit of the theory.Apparently theory means proven fact, despite it being called a theory. Someone should look up the word first.
I can link you to so much evidence it would literally take you years to go through. If that is actually what you want then we can do this. Or I can link you to a few manageable sources. Which would you like?All you keep saying is "Duh the answer is obvious" but have yet to offer any reasonable explanation. It is what is. Just because. That's what you're mostly saying.
Yup I'm the only one out of 7 billion people that thinks that way. What are you talking about? Religion is religion. It doesn't do anything by itself. People divide people and there have been divided people long before religion.
Let me guess, did you hear about Sitchen from some science magazine that says he's crazy even though they themselves offer no reason as to why he's crazy. He's made more sense than the others, and really aliens landing on this planet isn't so strange so I don't know why people say it's implausible. But since he's labeled crazy people won't listen. Don't just believe it when someone labels a person "crazy" as sometimes crazy people tend to be right. Even the greatest scientists and philosophers were once called crazy.
Apparently theory means proven fact, despite it being called a theory. Someone should look up the word first.
