    While true, '90%' is an overstatement of what has been proven in science.

    Everything scientific boils down to the atom to some degree. We cannot 'prove' how atoms work, instead we've gained insights on the 'possibilities' of how they 'might' work when we examine more general empirical works that we can see with our own eyes. These don't equate as fact, but rather 'acceptances' in society.

    It is these 'acceptances' that is taught in schools, not facts. If society was only allowed to teach facts in schools, we wouldn't have religion courses, or philosophy courses, or poetry courses, or English for that matter, to an extent.

    you yourself said that evolution was a theory. i only meant to say the word "theory" in my pervious post, as in talking about evolution.

    Either way, we're getting off topic. Humans can't be trusted with things like religion. However, the Eerth, something much greater, as I've mentioned before, can be the best source for things like this. We humans take the earth and look at it as much as we can then turn it into science. The world is evidence in itself. In science, the Earth is the bible. The bible is a book created by man, the Earth is something far bigger and stronger, created by all that we've come to know as the universe.

    But are you not the one who believes it was entirely created by humans?

    Yes, humans completely created religion, but we truthfully shouldn't have. Humans created bibles and religions, all based on human interpreatation. And you can't trust human interpretation.

    Kinda like how you keep misinterpreting me...;P

    What religion?
    True dat. I think religion was fabricated by humans as a way to explain/comprehend the purpose of our existence.

    Well if you were on this planet, had no idea WHAT this planet was, and had no way to explain things, I'm sure you'd come up with this 'religion' as well. And considering you too, are a human, with flawed interpretation, all the more reason why you have no idea what you're talking about.

    I see. Let's stop arguing.

    Because this is clearly not the debate board. And this isn't about your flawed ramblings--it's about what you say. My post was talking about religion and evolution, didn't you see?

    Dude, that just makes you sound like a hypocrite :\

    If your ramblings are flawed like you just said, then why are you acting like yours are correct and everyone elses are wrong?

    It isn't?

    I could've sworn I clicked "Debate Board" D:

    Back on topic: So yeah...I think evolution is right. It just has more evidence, plain and simple.

    Me too- I dont think the other theories are nessicarily wrong, infact no one really knows so I just think its a whole matter of oppinions and I just happen to prefer evolution.

    this debate really isnt going anywhere, its like fighting over what came first the chicken or the egg, everyone have a opinion, anyway just to make this post on topic i side with religion, a god making everything sounds much better then the big bang and evolution.

    ;P

    i believe in evelution, science, and alot of other stuff.
    its just that i dont think that we just crawled out of the ocean one day and sprouted legs and arms and could talk...
    i dont think we evolved from monkeys either, if we did than we would see the modern monkeys talking, going to work, ect
    so no offence to those science geeks, but i have my doubts.

    Well theyre different species. That is what differentiates Homo sapiens from other members of the same genus. Concordantly, this is why monkey/apes cannot do all the things humans can...

    I agree with you though. Honeslty, I myself havent REALLY formed an oppinion; I guess im leaning towards science but I can be swayed either way.

    Humans actually didn't evolve from present day apes (not monkeys). Suggestive evidence shows that humans and apes evolved from the same common ancestor. This common ancestor, although not identical to modern apes, was almost certainly more apelike than human-like in appearance and behavior. At some point -- scientists estimate that between 5 and 8 million years ago -- this species diverged into two distinct lineages, one of which were the hominids, or human-like species, and the other ultimately evolved into the African great ape species living today.

    Your argument has been brought up too many times over the past few years; and explained as well.
