    Look. I believe, well know that Evolution is just a pipe dream. It was contested with religion. It did not pass the scientific method. Therefore, it was a hypothesis.

    Look, if anyone can tall me how or why evolution is not morw than a "Faith Based Religion", and can be backed witb science...

    Please explain.

    This is like the unpteenth thread and it hasn't happened yet. Maybe, you new posters can provide validity with your religion of Evolution...

    Mark - Get set - GO!!!

    EVOLUTION IS A RELIGION NOT BASED IN SCIENCE!!$$

    Evolution is by definition not a religion.

    Sounds like a fools errand.
    Going by the OP, I'd say there was zero chance of convincing anyone with such a closed mind.
    Pointless thread.

    unlike religion, we can see evolution, we see it with bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics for instance

    Once you use evolution to form your world view it most certainly becomes part of a religion.

    We can see human behavior predicted in the bible. The bible is a perfect psychological handbook for describing human behavior both good and bad

    Evolution isn’t a world view. It’s a biological process.

    No it hasn’t. No more so than gravity is a worldview.

    Evolution is not a worldview. That isn’t going to change.

    Some people never evolved, they just stayed plain stupid.

    Or perhaps an antireligion, seeing that just as the exercise of religion pure and undefiled must be motivated by a spirit of some kind, the exercise of false religion must be motivated by an inimical spirit.

    Since evolution hasn't been proven to your satisfaction and yet most of the educated would does accept the evidence one can conclude you will never be convinced no matter what the evidence.

    And I would submit that not believing in evolution is the actual " faith based religion"

    Yes, you have created umpteen threads on this, Yes you have been terribly trounced in each one, Yes, this was annoying and pointless after the second one. Alas...NO, you wont stop wasting time and effort beating the dead horse.:deadhorse:

    ”Gradual change over time”. In biology specifically; “Changes in inherited characteristics of a species between generations”. That certainly happens and is supported by scientific observation and study.

    If you’re thinking of any of the specific scientific theories and hypothesis involving evolution (note the plural), you’re going to have to be more specific.

    In the context of your opening claim, you also have the difficult issue of defining “religion” too. :cool:
