I also think it is fascinating how quickly evolution can happen sometimes, like how a caterpillar evolves into a butterfly so quickly. Or Tadpoles into Frogs, or larvae into mosquitoes. Just food for thought.

Not very tasty food.

What you're describing is metamorphosis, not evolution.

Evolution describes how god created life on Earth, including human life. It is supported by a century and a half of scientific research. Creationism is supported by thin air, and nothing more.

Well the theory of evolution describes how things change over time. "Scientific" is a very subjective term in my opinion. Because the science, doesn't have any concrete information. Only speculation after a certain point. That's why it's called a theory, not a law, like the law of Gravity.

Science is well defined. The scientific method is the basis for any theories and hypotheses that the scientists support.

A theory does not become a theory until it has been proven over and over by many different people in many different places. The theory of evolution, like the germ theory of disease, has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt. No one tries to use leeches to cure tuberculosis any more.

New discoveries are being made all of the time, some of which change the details of how life evolved, but none of which has challenged the basic theory of life having evolved. Until recently, for example, the generally accepted hypothesis was that the dinosaurs were much like today's reptiles. Recent findings of dinos with feathers, however, have challenged that and made the mainstream hypothesis that the birds descended from dinosaurs. Note the difference: that is still the hypothesis, which is quite different from a theory.

Interesting, isn't it, to think that the hummingbird may have a T Rex in its ancestry? It's just one of the wonders of creation, yet the creationists keep trying to deny such wonders in the mistaken belief that evolution precludes a creator.
 
Scientifically speaking, a theory is an educated guess, and it does not have to be vailid as long as it is workable.... The problem with evolution is that it is not workable unless they concoct collected evidence to give validity to a bogus theory....:eusa_hand:

How about we get back to the "Evolution Of Mormonism". :)

Seems like this topic is way off the original, and in some ways is being subtley "hijacked". :)

No, an hypothesis is an educated guess, while a theory is one that has proven correct, over and over. Mormons and Catholics have no problem with the theory of evolution, only fundamentalist Christians who insist on a literal interpretation of ancient writings.

But eightball is right: This is getting off topic some.
 
Wrong... A theory can only be proven to be valid if the results can be duplicated on a consistant basis....:cuckoo:

Modern findings in human biology, genetics, earth science, archeology, and astophysics have proven evolution to be largly false, and only feeble attempts to present falsified evidence in support of evolution has been presented to the world thus far....

Yes, let's move on.

Assertion: Mormons are cool

Discuss.

Agreed.

Mormons are cool. They hate abortion, but don't bomb abortion clinics.
They take religion very seriously, but don't believe in jihad.
They believe in god, but don't try to deny modern science.
They are family oriented to a fault. As a result, their children are more likely than most to succeed in life.

Feel free to add to the list.

The Mirriam Webster Dictionary is quite clear on the definition of a theory. By all accounts, nothing is proven. That's why they're theories.

Theory:
1. rules and techniques: the body of rules, ideas, principles, and techniques that applies to a subject, especially when seen as distinct from actual practice
2. speculation: abstract thought or contemplation
3. idea formed by speculation: an idea of or belief about something arrived at through speculation or conjecture
 
I actually didn't mind the temporary hijack this time. I thought it was relevant because a statement was made that we accepted evolution as a whole that God used evolution to create Adam and Eve, and that is not true.

Another one who does not read the info provided.... Can lead a horse to water but, you can't make it drink....

They are too busy drinking the progressive parrot coolaide...:wine:

There are lots of kinds of theories, ranging from conspiracy theories to just someone's idea about how things work. A scientific theory is different. It starts out as an hypothesis, and educated guess to try to explain observed facts. Once the hypothesis has been tested over and over, by different people in different places and at different times, then it becomes a theory and is accepted until and unless new facts come to light that cast doubt on it. There are no new facts that have come to light that don't confirm the theory of evolution, not in a century and a half of observation and research. The new field of DNA research confirms evolution beyond any reasonable doubt.

So no, a theory is not just an educated guess, and saying that evolution, the germ theory of disease, or any other scientific theory is just a theory and therefore not more credible than someone else's opinion is proof positive that the speaker does not know what a scientific theory really is.

Like it or not, the Earth really is round and life really did evolve on it.
