Science, Creation & EvolutionFact & Theory: The Common MisconceptionPosted in this thread. It's something I have come across often and yet, it still puzzles me. Why do so many outside of the scientific field fail to grasp the simple premise that evolution is both fact and theory? Why, then, do these people not attack the theory of gravity? Isn't that "just a theory" and about as factual as the Tooth Fairy or God? Certainly, all such theories are readily observable. I drop an apple, it falls to the ground, the centre of mass and largest mass in vicinity is the Earth. Plate tectonics is also a theory, yet I don't see anyone leaping to conclusions over the recent Asian tsunami, a product of a geological event that is part of a theory. So what makes evolution special? Do Christians have a bone to pick with biologists solely for this theory just because it doesn't toe the line Biblically speaking? Why not attack other theories too and be less biased, afterall, theories are nothing to the scripture of God which is absolute. Of course, that would make all of science void, but if we can't have it 100% certain, then we can't have it at all. Or is that not right? |
