Topic: Do you think the theory of evolution is supported? Posted: 09-Mar-2006 at 11:02 |
How many people believe that the theory of evolution is backed by enough evidence to be a good explanation for organisms today?

It's backed by more scientific evidence than "Intelligent Design" is. The theory of evolution ahs it's holes of course, but is more logical than believing that god did everything

It's the most logical theory out there thus far. We know, by the way,
that it happens. Its really a question of whether its they key principle
that shapes differentiation into species, etc. And nearly all studies
conducted thus far imply that that is the case.
The actual mechanisms and processes involved in macro-level genetic
change, however, are still quite ill understood, and this is what
scientists are now working at.

There's more than one theory of evolution, but many of them are backed by evidence.
So I vote yes.

Intelligent design is a "belief"
Evolution is science.

No, there is no theory of evolution,
...only the animals that Chuck Norris allows to live!
In all seriousness, I think there is enough evidence to say that its a
good explanation. There are differing variations on the theory of
evolutions, however, but all were developed logically based on
observation.
On the other the hand, Intelligent design is not based on observation of the world.

The theory itself is based on common sense and sounds logical generally speaking, however, there are far too many scientific and anthropologic missing links to support the theory... therefore I say NO!

The theory(es) of evolution is(are) sound enough to be acceptable. There are unexplained facts but that's why the scientists keep on doing the research work.

I voted for yes. It may have some gaps, but science is always progressing and will never be perfect.

I also voted yes, due to the fact that unlike religiously backed theories, the theory(ies) of evolution have/has been supported through such scientific things as carbon dating.

I'm not against evolution, either. Both can coexist.

God created the Universe, then angels then Adam.
What will really blow your mind is when you realize adam was created first but not placed on earth. So the Dinosaurs could have been on earth from the very beginning, while Adam was in paradise or still pure light.

I think so too, I think there is a lot of evidence to prove that Evolution does
exist, but I also believe that the Universe is created by God.

Im pretty sure you're both deluding yourselves, only it would scare you
tremendously to truly investigate why you practice such self-delusion.
All in all, your delusion makes you happier, and it is shared by the
majority of people around you, which gives you an added bonus of
feeling you belong. Since that's all good for your mental, and thus
physical, health, all the best to you.
