Is evolution as reliable as gravity?

Please don't feed the troll.
I thought my question was a good one, go debate evolution in another thread.

Kilgore, I suppose gravity in this context is a law of the universe we believe to constant. If we throw up an apple on Earth anywhere on Earth it will fall at the same rate, etc...

Is evolution to a point we can place it on the shelf, gravity, and other forces are on. It seems to me we can, but was looking for opinion...

This is what Mike wants....opinions, not necessarily huge debate. As a creationist I often play the 'science is uncertian' line. What usually gets thrown back are examples of how and why science works so well. Now I see those same people come here and highlight all the inconsistencies.

Mike was very clever here and I can see his point. I say Well Done, Just_me_Mike.

Regardless of the inconsistencies in gravitational theory you all speak to, you should all be aware of the problems and debate within evolutionary theory. The quality of the debates is not the same. Now I am not going to reply nor debate any smart replies apart from Mikes, if he's around. That is for other threads..Been there, done that...same replies, same refutes around in circles with research to refute the refutes..and this from within the body of evolutionary theorists. This Mike is not the same level of debate I feel sure, that goes on within the physics community on the common tennants within that field and other sciences. Yes there are places where basics do not apply. However not to the extent that one can find debate and inconsistencies with evolutionary theory. Fossil classification, taxonomic rankings, genetic data that contradicts current hypothesis, convincing research that contradicts other very convincing research are just a few examples.

For these responders to engage in debate that puts other sciences at the level of chance and probablility that evolutionary theory relies on clearly is very interesting to me.

Yes, we are all aware of the debate within evolutionary theory. However, Biological Evolution itself is undisputed.

Far more is known about evolution than gravity. There is no "theory" yet that unifies gravitation and quantum theory. Gravitation is not even bounded by the universe in some theories.

oooo good question my answer is bluntly NO.

Like I said in the past forum..

Evolution believers, 1st. prove absolute dating fact and carbon dating fact,

prove the fossils weren't 'place there'

as regards to big bang theory, prove to us that those 'gases' were there

If evolutionist is true, why can't you recreate the earth,, and prove to my way cant you.

I'm not attacking the evidence but the foundation you build the evidence on. but let's start with carbon and aboslute dating.....

Absolute dating is false therefore Evolution is to.... comments?

Get back to us after you learn what the Theory of Evolution is, and we'll talk.

The Theory of gravity, the explanation behind why the apple falls, is not quite as widely supported or accepted as the theory of evolution. Evolution as a theory is more firmly established than gravity.

Actually, there's lots, some messier than others, we just don't know which one is the right one. You're right that gravity isn't necessarily confined to our universe in some of them, though.
