Sponsor |  covidiu | Oct 11, 2007 2:02am | | Darwin makes more sense, although it's not 100% proven. As for the gaps in our knowledge, "don't know, but I'm curious". Don't feel the need to toss a deity in the story. |

|  nibbler789 | Dec 4, 2007 12:21pm | I believe in Darwin's theory of Natural Selection, if that's what you mean. Evolution is absolute 100% scientific fact. People who think otherwise are confusing evolution with natural selection.
Natural Selection is the theoretical explanation of but one mechanism of evolution, although it is probably the most important.
Like all scientific theories, NS is open to modification in the face of new evidence. Focusing on the uncertainty present in this or any theory does not negate the whole.
To steal a metaphor, dismissing gravitation as an unproven theory does not make things float in midair. |

The existence of something like the biblical god creates a lot more questions then it solves, like: why did a perfect being create imperfection? |

I don't really get caught up on Darwin- no, wait. That doesn't mean what you think. Darwin started things off nicely but it's been quite awhile since then and we've come a long ways. We would have figured it out without him (another fellow basically worked it out about the same time Darwin did but didn't publish it as quickly.) |
