You can not test even if I hold the THEORY of creation - it is already in the realm of belief system.
It's not testable or falsifiable. Therefore, it's not a proper
theory. It's just a belief or an opinion.
Even if I told you less than 6,000 years ago how we came into being, I will not be able to prove it
Except you can't tell me because, let's be honest, you have no idea, do you? You just believe that living beings suddenly appeared fully formed out of nowhere. That's your belief, and you're entitled to it. Just don't go around feeling like Science and the Theory of Evolution are personally attacking your beliefs.
In the same token, even if you hold evolution THEORY - it is in the realm of your belief system, because it is not yet proven, and all talks of evidences are "mere articulation" of "questionable evidences".
At least Evolution has evidence pointing to it, whether or not you believe it. We have indicators like a gradual progression from simpler to more complex and more abundant fossils, a billions of years old Earth, and so on.
Also, Evolution is falsifiable: if every species existed alongside each other, then the fossil record should show fossils of modern dogs alongside fossils of ancient trilobites in the same Cambrian-age strata.
If every extant species magically came unto being in the first 6 days after the Earth was formed, then why do we have fossils of simpler organisms in deeper and older strata, and more complex fossils in shallower, younger strata?
However, you may invite me to jump to faith much harder to believe Dario by having faith on million/billion of years of events - which for both of us are x times more impossible than the 6000 years.
On the contrary. Evolution to current diversity taking place over only 6,000 years is less likely because that's hardly enough time even for a single species to emerge. Over billions of years it's more likely.
It's simple math. If the probability of something occurring once a day is 1/x, then it's more likely to occur or have occurred over 10 years than in 10 days. Tanong mo kay dpogs statistics graduate 'yan.
Anyway, I did not intend the thread to prove both THEORIES. Just provide scientific facts to discuss and lets dissect whether it reinforced creation or evolution.
What facts have you put forth to support species suddenly appearing out of thin air 6,000 years ago?
