I think I found it!

Can we start saying Law of Evolution now?

Answer 1

No, theory keeps the ideas and discoveries coming in, law restricts.

Answer 2

A theory cannot become a law and vice versa. They are two very different things.

The laws of science are various established scientific laws, or physical laws as they are sometimes called, that are considered universal and invariable facts of the physical world. Laws of science may, however, be disproved if new facts or evidence contradicts them. A "law" differs from hypotheses, theories, postulates, principles, etc., in that a law is an analytic statement, usually with an empirically determined constant. A theory may contain a set of laws, or a theory may be implied from an empirically determined law.

Answer 3

I'm not sure you could prove it.  However, you could easily *dis*prove it  (if it were actually false).

What you would need to do is: take two DNA sequences from living organisms of different species, and work out all the possible sequences of incremental changes that would lead from one to the other.  If every possible sequence included one or more unviable sequences, then the two organisms must have been created separately.  But if there is even just one sequence of incremental changes in which every step is viable, then the two organisms could have evolved from a common ancestor.

Answer 4

My cat smokes a pipe, is that enough proof for you?

Answer 5

At this juncture of time most scientists know that evolution is both fact and theory. So it does exist, man does not yet understand every aspect of it. Creationism is pure nonsense contrived in the minds of men. God is well aware of the evolving mathematical construct He Holds Forth Within His Mind.

Answer 6

You still cannot explain women.

Oh we're not allowed to be funny?!  I keep forgetting.

Answer 7

LOL you're awsome!!

And evolution is already a fact, there is already definitive proof of its existence!

Answer 8

To see an ape in the process of turning into a human.

I guess they all do it at night, while no one is looking.

Answer 9

Did you see this one?

I especially love this part:

------------------------------

"But Bryce, heavyset with blond curls, left with a stage whisper as he slung his knapsack over his shoulder.

“I can see something else, too,” he said. “I can see that there’s no way I came from an ape.”

------------------------------

...says Bryce, the kid in the obviously simian pose in the photograph.

Answer 10

Recessive geneology, if that ever gets green lit that is.

Answer 11

You're back :)

Answer 12

Fossil record, DNA etc.

Answer 13

LOL...Love one another...God Bless

Answer 14

Michael Phelps really should consider lots and lots of plastic surgery. I don't see how even a mother could love a face like that.

Answer 15

BA BA BOOEY!  there is no better proof of us being related to apes than BA BA BOOEY!!!!!

Answer 16

Oi lime kitty "you give me the fackin horn"

s***w philosophy when we've got basic proof ....the pictoral law of evolution it is.... you fackin green hatted kitty genius

Answer 17

David Suzuki's work on fruit flies sealed the deal for me.

Answer 18

How did you get my picture next to Michael Phelps...?

Answer 19

Lime Kitty: I didnt see the pictures in between to see the changes...is there a missing link?   LOL

Answer 20

I will not believe it before the primate comes to tell me that this is how it happens

It is lame of you to aks this question and associate 8 gold medal Olympic winner with your c**p.

I love Michael Phelps, I have never seen any man so impressive than him. He is so handsome too

Answer 21

the same proof you demand that there is a God...observable facts where once species changes into another species...like the deer like animal that "evolved" into a whale...not adaptations to the environment...unless you consider adaptations as evolution now...where as you change the word evolution into any change supports your idea...can that be called science anymore or a religion...is it just convenient we can't observe that...
