Terrible news for the Creation Science museum (and Republicans)

You’re 100% certain man evolved from a less evolved human form. And you are as certain of that as you are the Apple will fall from the tree? And you’re so sure if it, you would risk the crocodile pit over it.

Fascinating. We have some brave souls participating in this thread lol

Falling apples and falling humans are not a theory.

They are observations which have no explanatory power.

I am equally confident that apples fall on the earth, and that earth's rock record shows species change through time.

That is to say I am one hundred percent confident in both observations.

I am about 90 percent confident, give or take, that curvature of spacetime causes gravity, and that natural selection causes speciation.

It wasn’t an exercise in science.

It was a simple matter of picking one out of two options. Why doesn’t anyone pick one?

You make the statement that the Theory of Gravity is true.

You claim man is descended from a less evolved ancestor.

If both are equally true you have nothing to worry about and the crocs stay hungry. If only one of them are true—then it becomes a scene out of Indiana Jones.

I would suggest choosing wisely. I know which one I’d choose.

The theory of gravity is not "true" in the sense that it's chiseled in the rock like math. The observations are true, unless you want to go all philosophical on that.

You claim man is descended from a less evolved ancestor.

Well a hypothesis is a claim so you're correct about that one. The more evidence and observations are gathered, the more it becomes an established theory

I see you no longer attempt to unequivocally state that general relativity is a substantially stronger theory than Mendelian Darwinian evolution.

In a sense, I might bet my life on natural selection over general relativity.

Evolution by natural selection has been directly observed in a very tangible way under both laboratory and field conditions.

No one has ever seen curved spacetime.

It's existence is only inferred by indirect detection and theoretical mathematics.

I loved when I read about the observation of Mercury's orbit giving an evidence of GR.

General relativity and Mendelian natural selection are both extremely strong theories.

But we know general relativity needs to probably replaced someday with a new quantum theory of gravity.

Put more simply [to avoid the theoretical physics sidebar]:

You are as sure man evolved from a less evolved form as you are the apple will fall from the tree.

And you would risk the crocodile pit on the veracity of the claim?

Don’t be shy, pick one lol.

Be first.
 
Shame on you, Mercury!!!! You are supposed to follow the laws of Newton! You are the weakest link, therefore you are demoted as a planet. Bye bye.
