I think I'd find the pictures of the Wiggles with guns more informative, entertaining, enlightening, and factual.

Because it's "science". And they'll have a bunch of "scientists" on the show too telling you that it's "science." How dare you question scientific dogma, peasant? |

Gravity is a proven FACT.
Either way, I am skipping on the monkey show. Ar15.com is far more entertaining

Saying evolution is unproven is like saying OJ is innocent. Take your blinders off. I know a lot of arfcom members are very religious, but that doesn't mean you have to toe the party line. I swear, some of you people would be the same ones a few hundred years ago swearing the Earth is flat. |

If you want to believe that you came from an ape then you go ahead and believe it.

Yep...religious dogma has neutered them of rational thinking. And what do they base creationism on? A book not based on science or even theory, but faith? I guess they're too busy preparing for the Rapture to offer any reasonable explanations. |

I wasn't prepared to accept your opinion as truth, but since you yelled it that makes all the difference. Our very early ancestors were single celled creatures. As some point, they were fish. You're getting hung up on apes. If memory serves, the apes you're thinking are actually our evolutionary cousins. We (humans and apes) have a common ancestor and apes are not a direct link. |

pretty good. basically it talks about the various people that tried to find the missing link and talks about earlier homo species |

+1 Good show. It basically explains that when our ancestors started to use tools and hunt together, the abundance of fresh protein fueled our brains to grow larger. Take that you damn vegans.

Evolution is DOGMA. Not science. Beleive it all you want, but don't claim intellectual superiority because you beleive it.
Its only considered science because so many "scientists" believe it. Not because its in any way provable. Or even probable for that matter. In the real world, science is something that can be demonstrated and proven. Gravity is a fact because it has been PROVEN to exist. Evolution is not because no experiment or demonstratable phenomenon has ever supported it. The only thing evolutionists have is speculation. |

Yes, we should believe that our ancestors crawled out of the ocean because the same people that used to bleed people to remedy disease now tell us we're one step up from a monkey.
This is why we have evolved so much since written records were kept. Hell, I feel my wings about to sprout. This will save me much gas as I won't have to drive to work anymore. My point is, scientists have no conclusive proof that evolution is factual, that is why it is called a Theory. |

I don't want to get in an argument, but I do have to point out that gravity has not been scientifically proven. Science by itself can only produce probably theories, and can NEVER prove anything. However it can disprove theories. |

Man has kept written history for a very short time. Evolution occurs over a very long time. What do you think an embryo has a tail? Why do you have a tail, the coccyx? Why is there fossil evidence of many ancestors to modern animals/man? A person who objectively looks at the evidence cannot conclude that evolution is 'just a theory.' The only other explanantion is that God placed this on Earth to test your faith/some other reason. |

Perhaps it takes millions of years for monkeys to turn to man, but surely there would be some subtle differences that evolving men could detect in 4000 years if he were truly changing. Embryos probably have tails for the same reason sperm cells do, for locomotion. As far as my coccyx goes, my dad docked it at the same time as our doberman, so I wouldn't know much about it. Fossils reveal much about ancient creatures, but there is still the problem of the missing link, without it there is no conclusive evidence, but a good theory. People who objectively look at the evidence are the ones who call evolution a theory. I know of no scientists, atheists or not, who don't acknowledge it as theory. |

Actually... we cant prove that gravity exists. we can theorize about it, but thats why its still called a theory. Its the same conundrum we have with time. We cant prove that time exists. |

Two major elements of evolutionary hypothesis have not been observed in the lab. The mechanism by which a bunch of floating protiens became the first living cell, and the idea that natural selection involves increasing genetic complexity. (As opposed to what natural selection actually does, which cause a sorting or loss of extant genetic information.) Thus the two biggest elements of evolutionary theory are not really proven directly. |

Ouch. I caught part of the show last night when it re-aired. There was one Dutch scientist who spent his time looking for this 'missing link' and probably the most telling phrase to describe his work was when they said a skull fragment he found sent him into a "frenzy of speculation". ETA:The theory of evolution goes against science because it relies not on evolving, but in fact, on mutation. Every mutation on which this theory relies has been a positive one, on that supposedly makes the species better. Very few, if any mutations observed in a species today do that. And all of the ones that do have very negative side effects. Also, to add to the list of religious zealots who never use logic: Jonathan Edwards. Not a scientist, but he occasionally had a thought, I think. |

Theories are considered "standing" until they're disproven. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_theory |

Because it has nothing to do with religion IMHO. Religion doesn't effect my view on evolution, but the lack of proof, fossil records and the Cambrian Explosion does. |
