Re: Reporter Suspended For Defending Evolution Comes Back, Gives Immediate Middle Fin
Which goes back to what I said, this thread is about nothing more/different/novel than bashing religious beliefs.
Among the scientifically illiterate, no it isn't settled. However, in science, yes it certainly is. Evolution is one of the 2 foundational laws of all of biology.
The 2 fundimental laws of Biology are:
1. All of the phenomena of biology, the entities and the processes, are ultimately obedient to the laws of physics and chemistry. Not immediately reducible to them, but ultimately consistent and in consilience with them, by a cause and effect explanation.
2. All biological phenomena, these entities and processes that define life itself, have arisen by evolution through natural selection.
Basically this means that there is nothing magical about you, no supernatural explanation for how we came into existence or how the earth came to be a planet that teams with an amazing diversity of life.
Unfortunately, no one is shocked at the notion that in the 21st century there are still a decent number of people out there that are so ignorant of the life sciences to honestly believe that creation is an alternative theory to evolution.
