Re: A time to get serious
Brenda. The theory of evolution is a scientific theory, not an hypothesis. For scientists, that means that it has a lot of evidence to back it up.
​
There is no other scientific theory that explains the species we see around us. Remember, for scientists, theories require evidence.
​
If you think that you have a serious competing theory, then you must have a lot of evidence to back it up. Feel free to present that evidence.

Bugger religious work!

​
In fact, what we are doing is adding to the knowledge that we had before rather than refuting what we had before. Isn't that important?
​
Don't you think that religious beliefs, rather than adding knowledge to the proceedings, just end up impeding the search for knowledge by making things up, and adding delusions?

Re: Higher means try to comprehend and prove if you can
You are replying to your own post, Brenda, a habit to be wary of, as you'll know from your studies of psychology!
