Yes, that's what the theory explain about evolutionary biology...in short.

But do you think what this theory explain, to be true?

And Darwin may have provided the theory for evolutionary science, but the theory have expanded and advanced since then.

The evidences from fossils found and examined from Darwin's time to today, as well as genetic that have been investigated, have validated the theory time and time again.

In evolution biology, scientific method is used a technique to objectively investigate matter and acquire knowledge, as all other fields of science.

What I don't understand is why you make ludicrous statements, like these below?

To me, the scientific method is not that big of a deal.

You're simply exalting science as some kind of trump card.

Because, from what I understand so far . . .there is some kind of "science idol" . .

In terms of the benefits it has bestowed upon manking science eclipses pretty much everything else that has been discovered or invented by the human race. The simply act of testing ideas against the natural world, persuing those that aren't disproven, and modifying or discarding those that are, has lead to revolution in our understanding of the universe and the development of technologies and practices to increase our quality of life.

You label appreciation of science as idolotry only because its led us away from the dogma of your religion and undermined its privilaged status in society. In a way individuals like you are jealous of science because it has accomplished in so little time what your religion could never hope to accomplish.

Science has earned the respect its granted.

Ok, from that perspective, then you could say that Christians idolize books, such as their bible. Or their patron saints or their angels, for Catholic people. Or their crucifixes.

And when you think about it, they also idolize building, like their churches. Or city, because they consider Jerusalem to be a holy city, hence this city is their idol. Or the Vatican. People who go on pilgrim to the Holy Land, and idolize the supposed "tomb" of Jesus (Holy Sepulchre).

Then there are those holy relics. The blood of such and such saint, or the hair or hand of such and such saint.

Do I need to go on?

The Exodus 20, was quite clear about idol worshipping, but many of these Christians failed to heed such Commandment.

So again, you are still making ludicrous statements at the same time about people in science, but failing to see the flaw in your own thinking and comments. Jesus warn you of hypocrisy in the gospels, and yet you fail to heed.

This has nothing to do with the fact that the religious, especially chistian, muslims and jews, have a lot of idol worshiping going on.

Personally I don't idolize science but I have a lot of respect for scientist's hard work. I have a great appreciation of the Scientific Method and the ability of science to self correct.
