A couple that did what? Offer theories for the origin of the world? StereoTypist just gave you a link to the Wikipedia entry on the formation and evolution of the solar system, at least twice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formation_and_evolution_of_the_Solar_System Is it provable? It's the best current theory, according to the scientific community. What am I rejecting based upon what we see and know?
Fossils of baby dinosaurs have been found inside other dinosaur fossils proving that baby dinosaurs existed. Given what we know of the biology and sexual reproduction of macro fauna, how likely do you think it is that dinosaurs bumped ugly?
you accept the dinosaurs bit with what we know yet argue against creationist arguement that as far as we know something is not created out of nothing
Are you still talking about Science V Religion on the topic of how the Universe began? Clearly Science wins. Thread over.
What TFWNN is doing here is trying to take any little doubt about a well accepted scientific theory and use that as proof for his own belief in a God. He's using the lack of proof as proof of this own belief.
You said: "I bet no athiest has put forward any 'theory' for the origins of the world". You didn't ask for theories about the origin of matter. I don't accept the creation of anything, as there's no evidence that anything has ever been created. Dinosaurs clearly existed and it appears logical that they reproduced, as every other life form that we've observed does. This is the best current theory of how that happened, based upon a lot of evidence and observation of the most similar creatures that still live. Do you still not understand what a scientific theory is? Quick question for you. Why do humans have vestigial body parts?
evolution as a theory has some very STRONG and proveable aspects to it, of that there is no doubt However as discussed evolution as a 'source of origin' is just a misunderstanding by people who dont know what they are on about It still has flaws, assumptions if you will and some of these can be massive. for example there is no 'evidence' of species jumping
