It's the explanation that best fits the current observable evidence. If a better theory comes along I'll consider it.
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

What would one stand to gain by presenting evolution as a hoax?

Of course I do. Anything else is to deny reality.
And then we're all free to choose to believe whether it started as a bunch of proteins having fun in a primordial ooze, or <deity of choice>.Active WoW player Jan 2006 - Aug 2020

...You can't just... come here... and ask if Evolution (...the theory...) ...is a... fact or a hoax.... This is still a hot topic of discussion on the highest grounds of cientific researches!
But IMO, Evolution is real. If you give a Eevee a specific stone, it will evolve. It's a fact.

No because only 1/3 of Homo Sapien species have been proven real, and the others have been proven Hoaxes. Besides there are somethings Science can't explain.

I don't understand. There's already a thread open on this that you're already posting in. Originally Posted by adam86shadow

I wonder how much misinformation that could have been avoided if they had settled with a better word than "Theory".
The fact that some people can't differentiate between a scientific Theory and a layman "guess" is atrocious.Active WoW player Jan 2006 - Aug 2020

No it isn't. Evolution is not up for debate among scientists or in any realm of scientific research. The only reason there is any "controversy" is because certain people, who are not scientific at all, would like to see evolution discredited in favor of their dogmatic and literal interpretation of their own religious beliefs.

And that's the primary difference between science and religion (exceptions exist); scientists try to learn and explain what they have been unable to, while religion simply finishes any mystery by claiming it as desinged the way it is. Originally Posted by Rhinopotamus

Lol please dont tell me you granted my wish Adam!!!
But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

Evolution isn't a faith which we can either believe or not believe. I understand and accept evolution just as I understand and accept gravitation and germ theory.
