Evolution suggests God does exist

[Teed]

because something can't be proven by science, it must be made by something else that can't be proven

Then it becomes a theory doesn't it?

Article is a load of crap.

Science doesn't do the same.

Scientific theories present questions and possible answers based on an array of evidence, it acknowledges it is incomplete and could be wrong.

Religion presents itself as immutable fact.

Fair enough. However, there is no evidence whatsoever that the multiverse theory explains our current universe. The theory is simply a fudge to explain away statistical improbabilities.

 

[Harry Angstrom]

Isn't that the point he's making?

I never know what point @Mercia Blackcat is making.

He thinks a lot, though.

Ancient Greeks didn't have a word for blue. Blue existed. Some things are still beyond our imagination but that doesnt mean that God made them.

Didn't they use to say the sky was bronze coloured?

Strange one that considering they had bronze at the time and it is definitely not the same colour.

And it will remain a theory until proven otherwise.

If it was in a book called the bible, religious people would say it was definitely true.

We miss a lot of obvious stuff until it's pointed out to us. Which I find interesting.

Any other examples?

Because people believe what they're told rather than trust what they believe to be true.

aye but scientific theory is based on other evidence

I think if it's told often enough it becomes the Truth. Like "the Tories are good with the economy".

It's still a theory though, it's up to the individual whether they believe it or not.

Exactly, history is written by the victors, we only know what we've been told and very occasionally what we learn through experience, and that can contradict what we've been told.

No. Theory is a very specific term and does not mean what the general public tend to think it does. Which appears to be something between hypothesis and baseless speculation.

A theory is an empirically confirmed explanation or set of explanations for a natural phenomenon.

It's not really down to the individual whether they believe it or not unless they have some evidence which challenges it and forces people to rethink.

a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.
"Darwin's theory of evolution" ah right!!..


Once upon a time there was nothing.

Religion in a nutshell.

Instead of saying we don't know... Religion says we make stuff up.

Religion was created to keep people in check in my opinion, thousands of years later it still works for some.

I do tend to believe that at some point, anything and everything can be boiled down to an equation.

'God' (Myth) + Fear (of Hell) = Control of the Masses
