  Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution

  so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.

  i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.

  i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

  @shepherdless: However, it was not the theory that had to be tested to a "beyond reasonable doubt" in each case.

  are you saying the standard model is not tested beyond reasonable doubt, or are you saying it does not matter in physics if there is reasonable doubt about.a theory???

  neither of these things makes much sense to me

  True or false: the standard model has been tested beyond reasonable doubt?

  @shepherdless: Normally theories in science has to be proven to a high degree of confidence before they are accepted like with the Higgs particle; They already thought it was there, but nevertheless they build the big electromagnetic donut shaped thing to prove it beyond reasonable doubt. They did something similar with Einsteins theory recently but I can't remember the details. You see what I mean?

  BTW You think I am a christian or creationist or something?? Believe it or not, it is possible to write things Cofty don't like without being a christian!

  On a more serious note...

  You purposefully write my name wrong to piss me off or whatever ... and at the same time you tell me I cannot use a common abbreviation bc you don't like it.

  You see the problem?

  What can I say, I have seen many times that people who believe in darwinism say it is proven without saying that some parts of it is proven and other parts are not...

  Just so you don't have a stroke: by "proven" I mean "proven beyond all reasonable doubt" and "darwinism" I mean "evolution".

  Please stop saying 'lol'.

  Then stop saying things that are so damn funny! BTW telling me what I can and cannot say IS damn funny!

  Here is my post for easy reference. Tell me what part of it you find objectionable.. asides the fact you know better than wikipedia about darwinism (LOL)

  my 2c: the problem is ppl who believe in darwinism fail to acknowledge darwinism is many things -- some are proven beyond all reasonable doubt, other things are very speculative. so saying it is all proven to be true is really overstating the evidence, and similarly when a creationist say it is all doubtful he too is overstating the evidence. IMO thats why so much of the discussion is not useful.

  NOBODY EVER claimed everything about evolution is already known or proven

  Jesus Christ that was my damn point, that it was wrong to say everything about evolution was known and that mistake lead to many problems.

  So after all the name calling you agree with me... lol...

  me: some are proven beyond all reasonable doubt, other things are very speculative

  you: For example?
  

  me: (provide examples)

  you: question examples

  me: (explain my examples)

  you: Do you have a Ph.D in stating the bloody obvious?

  jesus.. I was just answering your damn question and you are not happy!

  Are you always this upset with other people?

  You seem like all you want is to get into some debate and "win" it. Are you unhappy or something???

  Apparently I do in this instance.

  lol, you know better than wikipedia! I have heard it all now!

  What do you mean by 'human thought' exactly?

  abstract symbolic reasoning, consciousness, etc. etc.

  wait a moment, are you going to ask me to define these terms endlessly to duck the question?

  The fact of evolution is not dependant on abiogenesis.

  You got a reading comprehension issue. I said the DEVELOPMENT of early life, not origin.

  Try again.

  What about the evolution of flowers?

  It is an area of active research in evolutionary theory with many open questions. Google it for more information.

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4905540/

  The origin of the flower was a key innovation in the history of complex organisms, dramatically altering Earth’s biota. Advances in phylogenetics, developmental genetics, and genomics during the past 25 years have substantially advanced our understanding of the evolution of flowers, yet crucial aspects of floral evolution remain, ...

  I believe in evolution, but I am correct there are many open questions, and I hope you are convinced of that now as well. Otherwise I will be happy to provide more information...
