Which scientists are these? I hear this sometimes but the religious folks who usually say this can't provide legitimate names or examples of this "tangible" evidence. I don't doubt that many scientists disagree on how exactly evolution works, because we still don't understand a lot of the fossil record and we're still learning. But some theists mistakenly present this as "evidence" that evolution is wrong.
The process of evolution is based on facts. The theory of evolution is the scientific interpretation of those facts. It requires no more faith to believe in evolution than it does to believe that the earth revolves around the sun, cause that's what the facts tell us.
I see a lot of posters saying evolution is something that is provable and therefore that justifies the belief in it, but it is not really provable.
Of course it requires faith to believe in evolution. Evolution does not even meet the basic tenets required to qualify it as a legitimate scientific theory under the rules of the scientific method. Namely, being observable and repeatable. No one has ever observed one single case of macroevolution occurring. Where normally scientific ideas have the rules of something being observable and repeatable in order to be considered scientific, the theory of evolution
requires faith to fill in the holes that the complete absence of those two rules leave in regards to the theory of evolution.
Yes, scientists can
speculate that some fossils they found were apes turning into men, but ultimately that speculation is not conclusive proof. It is just one man, or groups of mens', speculative
interpretations of what those bones indicate. Any belief that those interpretations are accurate, is a faith-based belief. The
only fact regarding this is that they found some bones. Interpreting that to mean that those bones are apes turning into men, is not a fact and it is not proof.
The history of errors in the interpreting fossils by evolutionists is chock full of many frauds, hoaxes, and errors in interpretations across the years that even evolutionists will admit to. The evolutionists' counter-argument to this long, shady history of false & fraudulent interpretations of fossils is, "science changes therefore the errors all get corrected in time." But, the core idea that evolution is fundamentally correct no matter what, is always held as the faith-based belief that dictates the tunnel vision viewpoint by which all discoveries by evolutionists will be filtered. That belief is completely the same as any religious belief based on the prejudgement that a core idea must be true. This also raises the disturbing questions such as that just because a fossil interpretation by evolutionists has not
yet been proven to be incorrect, that by no means indicates that the current interpretation
is correct. It is completely possible that many or all of the current interpretations of fossils by evolutionists are just as incorrect as the many admitted frauds, hoaxes, and misinterpretations that pepper the history of fossil interpretations by evolutionists.
All this serves to especially underscore how pompous, zealous and religious it is for the Evolutionist Saurian from the episode to deny any possibility that his interpretion of data, which he alleges proves evolution, could be wrong. In denying that possibility, he clearly is expressing a deeply held religious belief that the theory of evolution must be correct, no matter what, period.
As for the questions of which scientists are these, some of them can be found on websites such as
