Actually, evolution is a fact. But I think the main problem you’re having there is not understanding that there is evolution and then there is the theory of evolution. These are two different things.

Evolution, or the change in allele frequencys in a population, is an observable and testable scientific fact.

Evolution is also a theory (or more presicely a collection of theories). The theory of evolution explains evolution or how and why populations evolve.

I have learned over the past few months to stay away from commenting on 3 common topics on this LISTVERSE Website : 1). Politics, 2). Religion and of course 3). Evolution. Here is my so-called “pipedream”. Lets take Albert Einstein’s theory of Relativity and have some super genius invent a Time Machine so that we can go back in time and really see how man was created. And along the way, the person in the Time Machine could make a stop at around the Mid-19th Century and pick up Charles Darwin for the ride. Then maybe we can get a real and truthful answer to this debacle. I saw a list once (not on LISTVERSE) that had the Top 10 most evil people in history and this one list had Charles Darwin as a more evil person then Adolf Hitler because of the controversy it has stirred up with all sects of religion and personal beliefs.

agreed.
But you forgot one last important thing: man is not a descendant of the chimpanzee. They do share a common ancestor though.

Thankfully my Bio teachers have all been Christians, my mom included. If you align Genesis with earth’s development it’s all there.

I would just like to kindly ask someone for the real difference between a theory and a hypothesis. Come some one help me on that as my science knowledge is really not up to par……

Evolution IS still just a theory. That statement doesn’t water down the definition of “theory”. What the statement means is that evolution still NOT a fact. I think that most people who can say the word “theory” understand it’s definition.

I love this, and I think most of this article is relevant and interesting. But, and this is just a thought, I’m not sure that the comment about Social Darwinism is perfectly relevant. Regardless of whether the theory has been repudiated, the failure of evolutionary principles to conform to our moral ideals doesn’t call into question the legitimacy of evolutionary theory but rather forces us to question the validity of our morals. Even if evolution did support “might makes right,” that isn’t a valid premise by which to disprove evolution.
Any misguided conclusions we draw from a solid foundation do not weaken the foundation.
