Evolution as a process that has always gone on in the history of the earth can be doubted only by those who are ignorant of the evidence or are resistant to evidence, owing to emotional blocks or to plain bigotry. By contrast, the mechanisms that bring evolution about certainly need study and clarification. There are no alternatives to evolution as history that can withstand critical examination. Yet we are constantly learning new and important facts about evolutionary mechanisms.......
Evolutionists have been very clear about this distinction of fact and theory from the very beginning, if only because we have always acknowledged how far we are from completely understanding the mechanisms (theory) by which evolution (fact) occurred. Darwin continually emphasized the difference between his two great and separate accomplishments: establishing the fact of evolution, and proposing a theory--natural selection--to explain the mechanism of evolution.

Let me try to make crystal clear what is established beyond reasonable doubt, and what needs further study, about evolution. Evolution as a process that has always gone on in the history of the earth can be doubted only by those who are ignorant of the evidence or are resistant to evidence, owing to emotional blocks or to plain bigotry. By contrast, the mechanisms that bring evolution about certainly need study and clarification. There are no alternatives to evolution as history that can withstand critical examination. Yet we are constantly learning new and important facts about evolutionary mechanisms.

They make fun of you because you do not understand that the Bible was written by human beings who have making mistakes in orally transmitting, writing down, copying and translating the Bible for more than 200) years. The King James Bible is political propaganda. The Bible IS ALLEGORICAL AND METAPHORICAL, not literal history. You should have watched that show last night on the science channel. The Bible being proven true BY SCIENTISTS. Evolution is NOT 'JUST A THEORY. A scientific theory IS NOT A GUESS. A biology class is NOT retarded. I will not comment on your state of mind or intelligence, but beware of projecting and transferring YOUR retardation onto your classmates and other YA community members. IF you knew ANYTHING about the history of the Bible ar religion you would NEVER have posted this question. A SCIENTIFIC THEORY IS NOT A GUESS FOR MORE THAN 152 YEARS.
