I’m sorry… Is he saying that the Bible directly, as the first sentence of the first book, like, the very first thing the Bible says, is: “Evolution is a lie,” or, “prove me wrong”?
I shouldn’t think too hard about it, but I am.
Not a believer, but I recently learned that a correct reading of the original Hebrew doesn't say he created everything. He created the waters and the earth from the void that was already there.
Back to the sign. Dude is making the claim; he has to support it. Evolution is the most proven theory we have, yet it has been falsified over and over. He'd first have to understand the basics of evolutionary theory, which I guarantee he doesn't know; he wouldn't be there if he did.
Evolution is the most proven theory we have, yet it has been falsified over and over.
Is this a typo? A theory need only be proven wrong once to nullify it as a theory and so far as I’m aware that hasn’t happened.
It's a miswording. I meant the act of being falsifiable. Testable. If we found something that went totally against the core of the theory and was shown to be factual, we'd have to reconsider what was wrong. But the only debate within evolution are the details, not the main concept, which still hasn't found bunny fossils older than dinosaurs (to use a common example).
I mean, christianity goes back to some water god on the local hill with his wife.
Evolution is the most proven theory we have, it has been tested over and over.
I’ll see you Theory of Evolution and raise you the Theory of Gravity.
I'll call. We understand much of how evolution works. Do we really understand how gravity actually works at the core level? There are a few theories, but that's just it; we're not sure, and have different models to try and explain what's going on. Not one.
Does a theory need to be understood or explained to be tested/proven?

You’re arguing with a straw pigeon. There’s no logic to convince that person. You could put them in a time machine and walk them through the evolution of life and they still wouldn’t change their mind.

They would just blame their eyes for lying to them.
