How can you know what to expect from evolution if you don't understand what evolution is and what it means?

Why? What is wrong with proposing this as a hypothesis and testing it? This is what am doing on my other thread (well into Point 1 already). If the evidence fails to support it, then fine. I will abandon the proposition. |
How do you test for God?

Consider this -- not only do theologians of different religions disagree hugely about the nature of God, even in what are supposed to be people of the same faiths you have wildly different views.
But across this world, biologists understand the essential features of evolution in a way theology can never approach its understanding of God. When scientists argue - things get settled. Not so with religion.
All the different religions look a lot like something you'd see in the evolutionary tree of life -- we even have fossil religions, like those of Egypt and Greece.
But science doesn't branch like that. It's nature is not divergening random mutations, but an accumulation of effective knowledge that actually has a real application to our technological world.
Or more simply -- there is only one science -- ever changing, but there are thousands of religions.
