Now you are running to hide behind the safe skirt of micro-evolution which I have never disputed. You simply need to look at the silver fox and polar bear for examples of that.
"Observable science" is not Science... sorry, it's actually the antithesis of Science. Science is the testing, observation and evaluation of a hypothesis. What you are calling "observable science" is merely simple observation and it's why man thought the Earth was flat and the universe revolved around the Earth.
You're simply making an observation of how things seem they should be and attaching the word "science" onto it, in order to claim your observations are truth and fact. But that's never been how Science works.
Observations are a critical part of science...always have been
We have observed the progress of evolution....that is indisputable fact
How and why evolution occurs are still theories
Evolution itself...is a FACT
Nope... Observation of
tests and experiments are a critical part. Simple observations are not. Things are often NOT as they appear to be. Over and over throughout the history of Science, we have learned this. In fact, that is precisely WHY science was invented, to evaluate questions on some basis other than simple observance or what appears to be the case.
You have no concept of the scope of scientific research
Tests and experiments are an approximation of real life...they do not replace or take precedence over real life observations
Well, in science, they do.
Again, for years and years, it appeared to people that the universe revolved around the flat earth. That's what people believed because that's what people observed. Was that true? No, of course not... science came along and said, it may appear that way but here is what is really happening.
Now, back to evolution... We can look at the silver fox and polar bear for examples of micro-evolution. Things DO evolve into new species from other species within their genera. That is a far cry from everything sharing a common ancestor.... which is what macro-evolution claims.
We have observed macro evolution
Mammals did not exist until later in the evolutionary cycle. They either evolved from earlier species or popped out of thin air
What scientific evidence do you have to support the popped out of thin air hypothesis?
Turns out Boss isn't alone.
PRINCETON, NJ -- More than four in 10 Americans continue to believe that God created humans in their present form 10,000 years ago, a view that has changed little over the past three decades. Half of Americans believe humans evolved, with the majority of these saying God guided the evolutionary process. However, the percentage who say God was not involved is rising.
An overwhelming majority of the scientific community accepts evolution as the dominant scientific theory of biological diversity. Nearly every
scientific society, representing hundreds of thousands of scientists, has issued
statements rejecting intelligent design and a petition supporting the teaching of evolutionary biology was endorsed by 72 US
Nobel Prize winners. Additionally, US courts have ruled in favor of teaching evolution in science classrooms, and against teaching creationism, in numerous cases such as
Edwards v. Aguillard,
Hendren v. Campbell,
McLean v. Arkansas and
Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District.
There are religious sects and denominations in several countries for whom the theory of evolution is in conflict with creationism that is central to their dogma, and who therefore reject it: in the
United States, the
Muslim world,
South Africa,
India,
South Korea,
Singapore, the
Philippines, and
Brazil.
Why is it the USA is so stupid and lumped in with these other ignorant countries you ask?
Evolution Less Accepted in U.S. Than Other Western Countries, Study Finds
People in the United States are much less likely to accept Darwin's idea that humans and apes share a common ancestor than adults in other Western nations, a number of surveys show.
A new study of those surveys suggests that the main reason for this lies in a unique confluence of religion, politics, and the public understanding of biological science in the United States.
