→Evolution as a theory or hypothesis: evolution vs. gravity, evolution as a "fact"
::::Using that logic, you can't prove Creation, either. Sure, it's been well-recorded and well-documented, but no one alive now actually saw it happen. Same goes for evolution; difference is, one has a book backing it up, the other has actual research to back it up.

::::I'd also like to say, in order to get it out of the way, that my opinion of the Bible is the same as Thomas Jefferson's...great role model, not so great a textbook. [[User:Kicple|Kicple]] 01:40, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

== Evolution vs. gravity ==
:::"Although Darwin's theory is very often compared favorably to the great theories of mathematical physics on the grounds that evolution is as well established as gravity, very few physicist have been heard observing that gravity is as well established as evolution. They know better and they are not stupid." (Berlinski, [http://books.google.no/books?id=pPCYCl5m4UsC&printsec=frontcover&dq=editions:QYBpQEOUVtQC&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ZUKkT_66EaHm4QS8pNmJCQ&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=few%20physicists&f=false] Devil's delusion, p.191)
== Evolution as a "fact" ==
:::Q (Edge Foundation): What do you believe is true even though you '''cannot prove''' it? A (Dawkins): I believe that all life, all intelligence, all creativity and all “design” anywhere in the universe, is the direct or indirect product of '''Darwinian natural selection'''. It follows that design comes late in the universe, after a period of Darwinian evolution. Design cannot precede evolution and therefore cannot underlie the universe.
