None have proved it true either.
That's why it is called a theory. By testing it, and it holding up under those tests makes us more confident in its accuracy but it can never by proved true.
So if it's not true
Thats jumping to a conclusion. Before you can say it is not true you must be able to prove it, that is what science is all about. So far it is the best theory that fits all the available observable facts.
This is another reason why it's not provable, it's based on the assumption that life already existed.
Yes that is true. There is that inherant assumption that life already exists. The theory of evolution is a theory about how life evolved not about how life started.
This is probably why the even the Vatican supports the theory because it still leaves in the posability that GOD created life so that it would evolve to what we are today.
There are other theories about how life was created. But evolution does not even touch on that particular subject.
Belief in evolution is a form of religion,(definition #4) as it cannot be proved through any scientific methods on
It is a testable theory. And many tests have been devised and tried and non have disproven it yet. Remember a theory can generally not be tested as correct, but science can try and prove theories wrong with tests. how life began and must be taken on faith, as we don't even know the conditions in which the first life came to be, as these are theories too.
Hold on. Evolution is not a theory about how life began. It is a theory about how things 'could have' evolved from simpler life forms into different more complex life forms.
If the locals in Dover PA want to teach their kids ID, then let them. If doesn't affect anyone else.
Because the parents took the school board to court.
Evolution does not preclude the 'existence' or 'non existance' of God.
Even the Vatican endorses Evolution.
I don't mind Biology teachers saying that Evolution is a theory. I do mind my children being told that ID is an alternative theory (without any crediable pear reviewed publications).
ID is a great course to be tought in a 'Religous Studies' class (probably not available in America). I have no idea why Cristianity (or any other religous belief) should be mentioned in Biology which is a science (that is based on Experimental verification [sorry testing] of theories).
