i love that the only 2 people in this thread that is not me think i am dumb for not believing everything im told by the media hahah its the cherry on the cake that one of them doesn't believe in evolution and the other is a benzo junkie :laugh:




More ad hominem attacks, troll for sure, and not a very bright one as I called him out on this already.  I'll reiterate for you, my benzo use in no way impacts my educational attainment, which is greater than yours, nor does it effect my ability to think coherently on a given topic.  You can't even reply to the posts I've made in coherent fashion, instead using strawman tactics and personal attacks. 

Well here is a personal attack for you, your avatar has a literal higher IQ than you.

A scientific theory is regarded as fact. Point, gravity is just a theory yet no one doubts it.

The difference with evolution compared to other scientific theories is it is not particularly predictive, but is very powerful retrodictively.  A great scientific theory can predict future events, as well as explain past phenomena, evolution, largely due to its random nature is not good at predicting the future, but is immensely powerful at explaining past phenomena.

evolution is a widely accepted "fact". it is not theory because, as many people think, it is still a theory in working that has yet to be decided, it is a theory as in, it is not a physical thing that we watch and participate in, instead it is an understanding of how things work.
(maybe i would have been better off using dictionary definitions to explain the difference hahah, but im assuming you already know the difference, you dont seem like an idiot).

given that, you go against the grain and question the very core of our society and wonder for yourself if this is a fact or if it is shoved down our throats for personal gain (maybe the latter is a little tailored, but your reasons will surely fit closely to those? either way you are reluctant to buy into the so called facts that are given to us).

the links are that these are all "facts" about what is going on in the world. the reason we are lied to about evolution is directly married to the reasons why we are lied to about a viral outbreak.

that said, i have never actually noted why you do not believe in evolution.
maybe we should start there? maybe it is religious, if so then i could be completely out of the ball park here.

i guess i am rambling a lot with that response, but it would be cool if we could discuss why you dont believe the widely accepted theory of evolution that is taught in schools across the world. i think we are closer to each other than first meets the eye.




It's pretty easy to see evolution if you look at Richard Lenski's E.coli experiment.

Quote:

Lenski, a professor of microbial ecology at Michigan State, is best known for his work on what’s known as the long-term evolution experiment. The project, started in 1988, examines evolution in action. He and his lab members have been growing 12 populations of E. coli continuously for over 65,000 generations, tracking the development and mutations of the 12 separate strains.

The results have garnered attention and accolades — including a MacArthur “genius” grant, which Lenski received in 1996 — both for the enormity of the undertaking and for the intriguing findings the study has yielded. Most notably, in 2003, Lenski and his collaborators realized that one strain of E. coli had evolved the ability to use citrate as an energy source, something no previous population of E. coli was able to do.

Saying that evolution is 'just a theory', and disregarding the word 'theory' in scientific terms, is like a cop calling in a 10-4 code over the radio and you thinking they're talking about a 10 by 4 plank of wood.

Quote:

Part of the problem is that the word "theory" means something very different in lay language than it does in science: A scientific theory is an explanation of some aspect of the natural world that has been substantiated through repeated experiments or testing. But to the average Jane or Joe, a theory is just an idea that lives in someone's head, rather than an explanation rooted in experiment and testing.




What personal gain is there in believing in evolution?
I might think it could scare people as it often challenges religious ideals, like man made from dirt, and women from mans rib.

We are lied to constantly by people in power and the mainstream corporate media that propagates their propaganda. e.g. Bill Barr, the Attorney General of the United states saying he does not know if you're allowed to vote twice in California.

Quote:

"I don't know what the law in the particular state says" -- Wolf Blitzer has to explain to the Attorney General of the United States that it's actually illegal to vote twice. 

Bill Barr says he doesn't know if you can vote twice in California

If you honestly think I don't believe in evolution after reading this post, it may be projection from your end imo.
