Jan 16, 2009: Evolution Proof

Ever Since Charles Darwin published his revolutionary and famous tome,

"On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life"

in 1859, the "theory of Evolution" has been debated... sometimes hotly.


Although the Darwin developed the theory of natural selection in 1838,

and the basic premise goes back to at least Anaximander in the 6th century BC,

all the King's horses and all the King's men, haven't found the key.


The key, the one piece of irrefutable proof that moves the theory to fact


Anyway, the debate is over.


The theory is no longer a theory.


Ladies and gentlemen, I have proof.





See.

Yes, but which one will do which?

Exclamation Superb photo... As always :D

Altough we are more close related to chimpanzees than orangotangs

The Theory of Evolution is still a Theory.
Well founded and proved with hundreds of real world cases and dozens of transition fossils.

As also still are theories the Theory of Gravitation, and the Theory of the Colours (tip: search Newton).

I get chills down my spine when people try to pass up mythology for science... Yeah, I'm talking of you right-wing christian fanatic nut jobs!

Even the Vatican as agreed and accepted evolution as a proven fact, by the great Pope John Paul II in 1996.

Once you figure that out, you know which one will be paying your nursing home bills...

When I first saw the topic, I wondered why you would want to make sure you wouldn't evolve.

Personally, I think Kile from Southpark said it best:

"Maybe evolution is the answer to: How? And God is the answer to: Why?"

Oh and Leorolim: I always enjoyed the Cellar as a place where I can come and not be bothered by the left-wing-right-wing controversie (and associated namecalling) wich ruins to much of the conversations online, please, lets make an effort to keep it that way.

@ Chinditz... I appreciate the sentiment, but it makes me wonder if you've ventured away from the IOtD and visited the other threads?
