    Okay brad, for me Evolution is both a theory and a fact. Evolution is a "theory" in the scientific sense of the term "theory"; it is an established scientific model that explains observations and makes predictions through mechanisms such as natural selection. When scientists say "evolution is a fact" they are using one of two meanings of the word "fact". One meaning is empirical, and when this is what scientists mean, then "evolution" is used to mean observed changes in allele frequencies or traits of a population over successive generations. Another way "fact" is used is to refer to a certain kind of theory, one that has been so powerful and productive for such a long time that it is universally accepted by scientists. When scientists say evolution is a fact in this sense, they mean it is a fact that all living organisms have descended from a common ancestor (or ancestral gene pool) even though this cannot be directly observed. This implies more tangibly that it is a fact that humans share a common ancestor with other primates.

    Evolution is a fact in the sense that it is overwhelmingly validated by the evidence and is accepted by more than 99% of all scientists in the world.

    The National Academy of Science (U.S.) makes a similar point:

    "Scientists most often use the word "fact" to describe an observation. But scientists can also use fact to mean something that has been tested or observed so many times that there is no longer a compelling reason to keep testing or looking for examples. The occurrence of evolution in this sense is fact. Scientists no longer question whether descent with modification occurred because the evidence is so strong."
    Source: Science and Creationism: A View from the National Academy of Sciences, Second Edition (1999), National Academy of Sciences (NAS), National Academy Press, Washington DC, 2006.

    The theory of evolution has proved itself in practice. It has useful applications in epidemiology, pest control, drug discovery, artificial selection in genetic engineering and other areas that affect our daily lives.

    If "only a theory" were a real objection, creationists like you would also be issuing disclaimers complaining about the gravitational theory, atomic theory, the germ theory of disease, and the theory of limits (on which calculus is based). The theory of evolution is no less valid than any of these. Even the theory of gravity still receives serious challenges to this day. Yet the phenomenon of gravity, like evolution, is still a fact.

    Creationism is neither theory nor fact; it is, at best, only an opinion. Since it explains nothing, it is scientifically useless. Creation Science is a pseudoscience.

    then to what extent of evolution do you believed?
    that we came from an Ape/monkey or homonid
    that we came from single cell organism?

    Then where is your subjective proof that that was actually an evidence for ID?

    AND who is your specific designer?

    I already did bro, have you? I'm still refuting macro-evolution, I've already posted some factors that denies macro evolution using DNA, but it seems it's still not enough for you guys so I posted again another factors by Mutation.

    If evolution(one specie evolving to another specie) is possible then mutation will have to make it happen. But as you see there are lots of problems even in mutation.


    Let's get back to the topic. Questions for the atheist even if none has countered those questions but let me ask another.

    Why are some evolutionists became creationists?

    Another thing, the most famous atheist today is Richard Dawkins an ethologist(one who studies animal behavior), but before him the most famous atheist was Dr. Antony Flew. But why did this hardcore atheist renounced himself in atheism and accepted deism? He wrote a book last 2007 entitled a There Is A God: How the World’s Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind.

    Flew went on to blast Richard Dawkins’ and his book The God Delusion for Dawkins’ “comical effort” to argue that the origin of life can be attributed to a “Lucky Chance”. Flew went on to say about Dawkins, “If that’s the best argument you have, then the game is over.
