Creationism is not a theory, nor even a hypothesis, because it was not arrived at by the scientific method. Creationism starts out with the answer - that God created everything. Then it works backward to try to find pieces of "evidence" to support the conclusion that has already been made. It is the opposite of science.

Evolution is a scientific theory. It should be taught as such. And in most schools it is. The misinformation seems to be in determining exactly what a scientific theory is and how it differs from a scientific law or hypothesis, or a religion.



What I find funniest about this statement is that the highlighted part isn't included at the end of the second paragraph, when really it should be. Scientists made assumptions that they teach in the science-books, and then they go digging for their missing links. News flash: They haven't found any real or even confirmed transitions, yet they still preach the existence of evolution anyway. And while we're on that subject, it would be nice if his Gayness of Los Angeles Whomod would post these geological studies that "prove" the existence of evolution--Or, here's, a novel idea, refute my post on the subject, which keeps going ignored.



OK, this proves that you know second to nothing about the research by Charles Darwin. Evidently, you haven't heard or read about his travels to the Galapagos islands, where he discovered that the birds there had evolved from birds from other places, but had evolved to fit better in the new environment. Other scientists have made similar discoveries.

I recommend you to read the works by Francis Bacon, John Locke and/or John Stuart Mill, so you would know what emperic research is about. Rationalism is a good thing, I give you that, but it's not enough.
