| Why evolution by natural selection didn't make use of RF? |

| TimFox:
"Just a theory" is a common, yet mistaken, misunderstanding of scientific processes. Similarly, in common English there is not much difference between "force", "power", and "energy", yet scientists and engineers must use the words carefully. (Punctuation and grammar help, as well.) |

Something to think about: Source: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/what-does-it-mean-be-species-genetics-changing-answer-180963380/#:~:text=Based%20on%20a%201980%20book,DNA%20to%20be%20considered%20separate. --- Quote --- Based on a 1980 book by biologists Niles Eldredge and Joel Cracraft, under the definition of a phylogenetic species, animal species now can differ by just 2 percent of their DNA to be considered separate. --- End quote --- Source: https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/permanent/human-origins/understanding-our-past/dna-comparing-humans-and-chimps#:~:text=If%20human%20and%20chimp%20DNA,equals%20about%2035%20million%20differences. --- Quote ---If human and chimp DNA is 98.8 percent the same, why are we so different? Numbers tell part of the story. Each human cell contains roughly three billion base pairs, or bits of information. Just 1.2 percent of that equals about 35 million differences. --- End quote --- I am not an atheist, but there is nothing in believing in a power we cannot understand that conflicts with evolution. Those who say so are relying on texts written by humans. Much was deleted and not included from ancient texts in modern Christian texts. (Disclosure: I am not familiar with non-Abrahamic religions) |

--- Quote from: jonovid on August 29, 2023, 05:11:52 pm ---evolution by natural selection is scientific theory, not a fact. --- End quote --- Uh no ... evolution is a fact. ::) This is factually shown in the geological record. It happened. But theories and facts are two different things and one does not become the other. Theories do not become facts over time because they get "better". Facts are what we find in the real world, such as evolution, gravity, elements, electromagnetic forces, and so on. Theories are what scientists use to explain various properties of the facts that we find. I see people making this mistake my whole life. :palm: |
