ohhhh evolution, my fav fav fav topic, dawkins is amazing he invented the term meme, totally changed how i saw the world, and he influenced Dennett, whos books are a must for anyone with the smallest spark of curiosity, i got a chance to speak to Dawkins a few years ago but was so star struck i just mummbled something generick like i really like your theories, stupid brain, need better memes to nest in there!!!!
how the fuck can people be so freakin closed off to reality, evolution isnt a theory, iis a fact, Darwin didnt create the theory he just discovered it, kinda like Platos world of the forms, there all along and we are trying to word a theory as close to this as possible.read the other thread when you're done with this one
evolution isnt a theory, iis a fact
so are you saying there cant be scientific facts?
In everyday language, a theory means a hunch or speculation. Not so in science. In science, the word theory refers to a comprehensive explanation of an important feature of nature that is supported by many facts gathered over time. Theories also allow scientists to make predictions about as yet unobserved phenomena.
don't ask me, ask the united states national academy of sciences:
taken from the wikipedia page for 'theory'.
words deserve to be used properly.
is it not then possible for evoultion to be a fact that makes a larger whole, and this whole is the theory that is up to dispute?
FWIW, Dawkins just called evolution a fact and not a theory on his show there.
