The Theory of Evolution Mar. 22nd, 2012 @ 04:24 AM Reply

If evolution is true, why is it's full title still the Theory of Evolution, aka Guess of Evolution? You Atheists have a religion and it's called unevidenced evolution.

The preceding post was probably made when I was wasted. Only a fool would think of it as fact.

First off a lot of people do not know the true scientific meaning of the word theory. Shoot you know when scientists said the Earth revolves around the sun? Well that's also a theory in science.

As one of the fine men before me stated, there is a difference between a scientific theory and a layman's theory. Einstein produced the Theory of Relativity and the Theory of Special Relativity. These are considered plausible to the scientific community and considered to be true. The scientific definition of the word theory is different than the layman's definition.

Scientific Theory: a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena. (Webster's Dictionary.)

Layman's Theory: An unproved assumption; conjecture. (Webster's Dictionary.)

So this is more of an argument of semantics. You are interpreting the word theory, in a scientific sense, incorrectly. You cannot say that evolution is not without evidence. That gives me the proper grounds to say that Christianity is without evidence.

Psychology is just another theory too.

As if Christians have evidence about God and how he made wonders and shit. If you look at the facts, Darwin's Theory of Evolution just makes a lot of sense, a whole lot more than "and on the fifth day God made the human".
