Why do so many people assume that if you dont agree with evolution then you dont believe or study science?

I dont know how many times I have seen lame questions that make it seem like you are a religious fanatic if you dare to question the theory of evolution.
Science itself dictates that you question this theory because it is not a proven fact and there are some very serious flaws in the theory.

Maybe one day the flaws will be fixed. Maybe one day the theory will prove to be untrue. But there is definetaly very good reasons for someone who has studied and believes in science to disagree that evolution is how humans came into being.

Arent you really just an evolution fanatic if you are going to think that unless you believe evolution is 100 percent correct you are an uneducated religious fanatic?

Dont you think you can be completely educated in evolution and still not consider the evidence strong enough to claim that is the only possible way life began and humans were formed?

(and I am not talking adaptation within species. I am talking about species to species evoltn)
path,
I know exactly what I am talking about.
I am talking about adaptations and changes in the genetic codes slowly over millions of years so that gradually a species changes so much that it becomes a new species, or mutations in the genetic codes of one species to skew into a new species.
Yes it is a belief that one species gradually becomes a new species.



You do have to believe a scientific theory because it has not been proven true yet. Anyone that believes in evolution is putting faith in the theory because the facts do not equal truth.
Science most definetly relies on some faith becuase if it didnt then no new discoveries or theories would be tested.
dances,
so if someone doesnt believe that humans are causing global warming then that is the same as them not believing the sun is hot?
There are theories that arent proven yet.
adaptation is well proven and established
evolution, not
I never said it was an atheist scam. I think honest scientist looked at the evidence and have put this theory together.
But that wasnt really my question. If you think there is no other possible explanation then arent you kind of closing your mind to any other possible scientific explanations, too.



People, it is a belief. You can have a belief based on evidence.
When did I ever say evolution is wrong because the Bible says so?????? Do some of you even bother reading the question and details????
vorenhut
huh? I have never visited a creation website. I am specifically talking about the theory by which human beings came into existance thru evolution.
I know that some people define and think of different concepts when they hear the term evolution. I am sticking with one particular concept of evolution.
Seriously people, read the question and details. I dont think I mention creation or the bible once.
I even said that maybe the theory will gain more validity as more evidence comes to light. But right now, it is still a theory that has every right to be questioned and not yet believed.
You cannot compare evolution and believing the sun will come out tomorrow. It is a ludicrous comparison. There isnt even close to that kind of evidence for humans evolving into existance.

There's nothing wrong with questioning evolution, as long as the questions are not stupid. Unfortunately, they pretty much always are.

Because those people haven't evolved in their thinking. Kinda of ironic since they believe in evolution.

It seems to be only the religious wackos that have a problem with evolution. Does this imply an ulterior motive in creationist arguments? You can bet your right testicle it does.

Evolution isn't something to believe in or not like a religion; it's provable. You might as well not "believe" in the sun coming up every morning, or the force of gravity. If you say you "don't believe" in those things, then people who understand them are (reasonably) going to think you're a few cards short of a full deck.

"I am talking about species to species evolution"

That is why you don't understand evolution and people think you are a religious fanatic. You should question Evolution but I think you are searching for your answers in the wrong place. It is a common Theist misconception that one species can turn into another. A turtle can never become a horse, yet some Theists(Christians mostly) Seem to think that is what evolution is.
