"Strains of a species go through changes together"
That is not evidence, those are only words.
What, exactly, did you expect to get on a discussion board? Words and/or....what?
And, really, what's the point of producing evidence at this point, if you don't understand the concepts we're discussing?
I ask you is this, did you you accepted information with evidence or because an authority on the subject said so, without really scrutinising the autorites evidence, if this is so,
It's not so. The evidence of any science is not just something some guy wrote. LOTS of guys write about it. And lots of lots of lots of guys scrutinize the evidence they offer, and try to reproduce the observations they made, and criticize the methodology, and show any errors and in the end we have computers. Or heavier-than-air flying ships. Or vaccines. Or evolutionary theory. That's how science works.
So while i may not bet my life on the work of one individual, i'm talking to you via the internet because of the efforts of the whole industry and the functions of the scientific method.
Is this the general thrust of your thesis? Not to offer evidence foryour claims, but to cast anyone that disagrees with you in doubt? That's not a method that's going to work well, here.
do not let authority dictate their terms, stay a free thinker, and do not accept it until you have sufficient evidence to be completely convinced, and then always leave the subject open for future greater understanding.
Well, yes. That's a key point of science, that it must be falsifiable.
Do you have anything to falsify evolutionary theory?
You don't appear, so far, to actually understand evolutionary theory, so you don't appear, so far, to have much of a leg to stand on when you talk about evidence.
But, hey, we're all interested in seeing you try.
In science there should never be closure because of the complexity in our visible existence is so great there's always something new to put into the equation.
No. Not because of complexity.
Or because of simplicity.
There's always a chance that every experiment conducted to date may have been one big coincidence and everything we think we know is wrong. But being overimpressed by complexity is a major failing for many creationists.
Unless and until you can show that complexity demands intelligence.
I thought when I came to this site that I would be speaking to people who believed in evolution.
Nope.
I reserve 'believe' for things i think are true without evidence for them.
This is not how i came to accept evolutionary theory.
Or evolution.
Who will have investigated to see if it is true, and have the evidence that convinced them of that and have the evidence at hand.
If you really want to be educated on evolution, but not willing to accept 'those are only words' on a discussoin board, see your local university. Or bookstore. Or a museum. There is tons of evidence for evolution.
