Evolution????

You cant build a religion without people to invent it first! 

No it's not. It's an observed fact. Darwinian natural selection, Lamarckian/Lysenkoist inheritance of acquired characteristics, and intelligent design are all theories of evolution, in that they attempt to explain the fact of evolution.

The Darwinian and Lamarckian theories are scientific, in that they can be tested empirically. Intelligent design, while it is a theory, is not a scientific theory, in that it cannot be tested empirically. It's proper place therefore is in the category of religion, or at least metaphysics. It has no place in a science class whatsoever.

As I obvious from the above I think you are confusing evolution with Darwinism (or possibly Lamarckism or some other theory). It's a shorthand way of referring to something which has lots of attendant dangers.

'Evolution' is not like the theory of Relativity. Evolution is like the fact that the speed of light is observed to be constant in vacuum.

well it is a Theory. i think, how can anybody prove something happened like a billion years ago to be a solid fact??!! thats imposible, so its a theory and more discoveries MAY prove it wrong or prove it more correct than other theoris.

its not that easy to determine how things evolved in millions of years just like that.

about humans being Apes and the rest of the theory its not fully proven yet and there is something called a missing link between what they found and humans.

its also said that humans and those stright walking monkeis did exist at the same time and lived at the same period !

 even if this theories about earth creation were proven more to be correct and more logical than other theories i personally dont think that these happened by themselvs just like that. there must be a question of Why? and there there will be an answer like God wanted to creat universe like that !

There's no actual missing link anymore. Lucy and the other Australopithecus are the "missing link". Of course we don't have fossils of every single evolutionary step but we have enough steps to see the overall picture of hominid and human evolution.

Additionally by mere genetic study, the closer living relative to chimpanzees and bonobos (Pan gender) are not gorillas or other apes but us (Homo gender). We are so close that some scientists defend that we should be in the smame biological gender, though, of course cultural prejudices and maybe other reasons play against such a reclasification.

Yes but the evolutionary theory is a scientific theory about how life has developed � meaning there is a premise that life already exists. It does not, as a matter of course, have explanations on the origins of life. The study of naturalistic origin of life is a separate field known as Abiogenesis.

Certainly it is valid to say that biological evolution and the basis of naturalistic clarification of Abiogenesis, called molecular evolution, have some kind of relation between each other but still we mustn't confuse the true nature of evolution.

Originally posted by Maju This should belong to Intelectual Discussion. But anyhow my answer is: we still don't know for sure what causes gravity but we know how it works. Does that mean that gravity doesn't exist? If you think so, I tell you:  throw yourself from a tower and I will prove you how wrong you are.

Actually I learned about what we think does cause gravity, they're particles called "exchange mesons" which transmit forces, the ones for gravity are called gravitons.

It's already confirmed that Neanderthals didn't got mixed with modern humans (DNA testing, I think).

Neanderthals were either killed or outcompeted by our ancestors, who apparently were more flexible in thought and adaptability. Not bigger brains, actually Neanders had slightly bigger heads, just more flexible for adaptation, possibly more creative. Neanderthals were actually much stronger and were better adapted to European cold climate but still, our grandparents just displaced them to the point of extintion.

Sometimes I think that Neanders could resemble the dwarfs of legends, they were smaller but much stronger than us and, without being clearly inferior, they were simply diferent.

They lasted for many milennia, co-existing with us, till they they finally disapeared anyhow. It wasn't any sudden proccess.
