== What if..? ==
I am curious about something. Personally I am an avid believer in evolution however I am aware thats its not for everyone. However what I am wondering is that if, through future scientific study and advances, evolution was proven as fact, how would creationists and disbelievers in evolution feel? What would your next step be? I know personally if it was shown without a doubt that evolution was wrong I would sure have egg on my face. [[MetcalfeM]]

:More than likely, as it usually is with science, a new theory will be formulated as more evidence is brought to light. Relativity replaced Newtons in our lifetime. Darwins's Natural Selection was replaced/revised with the Modern Evolutioary Synthesis. Once a theory is falsified or an aspect doesn't harmonize with the data, it will be replaced completely or reshaped to fit the new evidence. That's the beauty of Scienctific Theory - it's mutable and falsifiable and not subject to stagnation. The goal of creationism or evolution is certainly not to throw egg on the other's face.
