You just said it, it's a theory!

If evolution is a fact, then where did these evidences come from? NOTHING?

So we don't have to abide by what they believe in, but they have to put what they call evolution. I assume you people never seen the BIG BANG, either!

So, can we also put creationism alongside evolution, aswell, but don't have to abide by it if we don't want to?

And you can't prove humans came from monkeys, no matter how much you try!

The definition of 'theory' in the scientific context, which evolution is in, is:

In other words, it is something that explains why things happen the way they do that we know to a high degree of certainty (because really you can only "prove" in the strictest sense things through mathematics)

You want evidence. Hmmm... How about that we share 99% of our DNA with Chimps. What are the odds that would've happened if we didn't share a common ancestor. And, no, we aren't descended from apes and monkeys, we share a common ancestor with them.

Now, more evidence. Grin

Vestigial structures: Why do, for example, whales have a pelvis bone and the remnants of leg bones that is utterly useless? Well, the only logical explanation is that they share an common ancestry with land mammals, so the legs slowly disappeared, but haven't entirely. If a superior being designed whales, why would he include these structures that have NO function whatsoever.

Fossils: We can track the gradual change from one species to another over time. Fossils found that are identified from a certain time period (very accurate) are compared and you see a clear transition. How is it that dogs became a separate sub-species of gray wolf through human influence but evolution isn't true?

Finally, why is it that organisms on different sides of the planet, but on otherwise nearly identical environments are significantly different? Why don't we see Arizona cacti in the African desert? An intelligent creator wouldn't make them different, after all, once you have one animal suited to an environment, why create a totally different one?  

Back to genetics, it is not only that we share many of our genes with apes, but that "junk DNA" (DNA that has no function, about 90% of all our nucleotides) is very similar. Broken genes, like our and Ape's broken vitamin C gene which creates a protein that makes vitamin C (luckily, these species' diets have high vitamin C) are broken in the same way. There is no conceivable way that that could happen unless we have a common ancestor.

You're using a computer. Prove to me with 100% certainty that what you are using is in fact a computer. How about this, prove to me with a 100% certainty that if you threw a pencil in the air that it would fall to the ground. The answer is you can't. You can only prove things in mathematics.

I have a quote for you:

"I would love to have the faith to believe that it [the Earth's creation] took place in 7 days, but... I have thoughts, and that can really f*** up the faith thing.

And then, there are fossils. Whenever somebody tries to tell me that it took place in 7 days, I reach for a fossil and go, 'fossil.'" - Lewis Black

I agree.

Clearly, we can't teach anything. Everything is a theory.

     Gravity is a theory. People who teach that gravity exists are clearly forcing their religion of atheism on children.

Yes, gravity goes against my sect of Christianity Tongue
