A fact that must be improved and added to. :eek:
You know I was always under the impression that facts were indisputable pieces of information.
Fact/fakt/
Noun:
A thing that is indisputably the case
But that's a nice added touch. Anything can be labeled a fact as long as you say it needs to be improved and added to. Lawyers should be using it in court, "yes judge, those are the facts of the case. I just need to improve them a little bit." :lol:
Your right you can call it "fact that needs improvement" if that helps you. Heaven forbid you believe in something physically unproven.

I know I responded :innocent: I just couldn't help myself on that one. :lol:

Fact was a poor choice of wording, but Hstar---you get what he means, so don't pick on his diction.

What he means is that evolution is a theory which is strongly supported by scientific observations. A theory must sometimes be amended to incorporate new evidence and discovery.

Um no. The word fact is hardly ever confused with theory. Read Pepsi's post, he is trying to say evolution is not a belief and he can't say theory because "theory" is just a supposition not at all considered a fact. I can understand though how you would mix that up seeing as how you didn't think killing people was implied when you said you wish the world was rid of a couple countries or groups of people :mrgreen:

Ok so now I'm done for real with this topic :lol: If I could ask an admin to please ban me or lock me out if I ever post on here again :whistling: I just can't help myself

How many of you guys that believe the bible actually think the universe is 6000 -10000 years old? Isn't that the age that biblical "scholars" came up with?

I have never heard any biblical scholars that say the universe is that young, but I have heard and seen that they believe the earth is in the 15 - 25000 year range.

Hstar, very well. The word choice was poor; that I'll admit. But I'll also note how you skipped answering all the other points I brought up - silence is compliance after all. :whistling:

I've heard the Earth called that young too by Biblical Scholars, and as much as 100s of Millions by Scientist trying to date the Dinosaurs. But I don't believe carbon testing is accurate out beyond , maybe, 10,000 years. I mean, seriously, how can it be believable to accurately date something 100 million or even only 10 million years ago? Heck, they can't even date the Shroud of Turin accurately.

What killed the Dinosaurs? No one can agree. If it was weather, then when? What kind? Sure, we can assume cold. If a meteor, where's the impact site? If located, how long till the after effects were gone did it take to support life? What survived the blast or weather, if anything? How did Humans evolve in this time? Where's this so-called missing link? I've met a few people, who I'd swear ARE the missing link, but they exist today, not 10,000 years ago.

You can claim evolution, but it's only a 'theory', whereas Creation is claimed as a 'Belief'. I feel, neither will actually ever be proven, until death. If nothingness, Evolutionarys are right...but were's the 'Victory' party going to be? The Celebration? If 'Creationists' are right, well, party's in Heaven, but only Wine will be served. May have to go to Hell for the 'Hard stuff'. :th_a017:
