WHY NOT PROVE THE WORLD ISN'T FLAT?
by Nike

Why debate scientific fact with people who still live in the dark ages, who are ruled by mythology? LMAO.

God Bless America.

I agree - there is no reason to get into debates with people who absolutely believe they are right based on no evidence in support of their beliefs.

I really don't see a point to believing biology is everything. To get any further however, spirit must be identified as something.

biology is not everything, but it is all that we have. (to paraphrase Freud). spirit? go look for it. sit in church and give money to some preacherman who knows as little about it as you do, but talking about it is a good way to dupe fools and earn money.

So you think politicians and preachers lie by default about Religion or do you think lying is even possible?

Every time someone lies it makes baby Jesus cry. And each sin-induced tear rains down and turns someone gay.

science once told Pasteur and Marie Curie that Microbes you couldn't see and particles you couldn't detect were mythical and didn't exist

Infidel! The tears of Jesus don't make people gay, they make people CHOOSE to be gay.

Is Evolution a scientific fact? I was not aware that it has been elevated to "fact" from its status as a "theory." Do we actually even care about the distinctions between theory and fact anymore?

By the way, I am not a creationist nor an Intelligent Designer. I simply do not know the evidence that supports evolution. I am an evolution agnostic if you will. That being said, I think it would be interesting to see Nike debate somebody on this issue without attacking the person.

Since when did it get demoted to mere 'theory' ie. likely false by your connotation?

The 'theory' of gravity may only be a theory, but it's well grounded. It carries weight. It's accepted heavily.

If you wait for something to be proven 100% true before calling it 'fact' and using it to make a decision, you will be frozen forever.

Conversely, lots of theories opposed to gravity have been floated, but they all required a significant suspension of disbelief and tended to drift away from the mainstream.

Sigh A process is not a "fact". That the earth is round is an observable fact. ....Darwin's theory of evolution is how evolution, which has been observed in the earth's history and at work to this day, operates.

It is astounding how many nitwitw offer this tired claim about "theory" when the topic of evolution comes up.

Question: is Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity "just" a theory, or is it confirmed by observation and experiment?

q.e.d.
