It is "theory" due to the holes still present. Gravity is a law.

2019-01-31 19:08:03 UTC  

Newton's law of universal gravitation

2019-01-31 19:08:26 UTC  

what are these holes in the theory of evolution?

2019-01-31 19:09:39 UTC  

Its mostly where some traits came to be, and missing links in the paths.

2019-01-31 19:09:48 UTC  

ah yes, the missing links

2019-01-31 19:09:56 UTC  

But its enough to prevent it from becoming a law.

2019-01-31 19:10:05 UTC  

There are no "missing links".

2019-01-31 19:10:09 UTC  

Doesn't that only apply to humans?

2019-01-31 19:10:30 UTC  

Im fairly certain we've traced the evolutionary paths of other species pretty clearly.

2019-01-31 19:10:36 UTC  

There are tons of missing links. Hell we are still discovering many species. And many species are changing.

2019-01-31 19:11:19 UTC  

There are no "missing links" because evolution doesn't just happen over night. It's a gradual change that takes a large amount of time.

2019-01-31 19:11:30 UTC  

we have evidence for both micro and macroevolution though, so these "missing" links are not holes in the theory

2019-01-31 19:11:36 UTC  

Hell 10 years ago veloceraptor was a scaled human size creature, 20 it was cold blooded.
Now its a warm blooded feathered creature

2019-01-31 19:12:35 UTC  

how is our expanding knowledge of fossils somehow a failure of the theory of evolution, though?

2019-01-31 19:12:44 UTC  

My point is unlike gravity, or motion, evolution and the species are constantly changing.

2019-01-31 19:12:58 UTC  

Yes, that's whole point of evolution.

2019-01-31 19:13:00 UTC  

evolution is not constantly changing

2019-01-31 19:13:01 UTC  

Jesus Christ

2019-01-31 19:13:11 UTC  

yes as well, but in layman's terms.

2019-01-31 19:13:14 UTC  

I never said it was a failure

2019-01-31 19:13:18 UTC  

the theory is pretty solid and described in detail in scientific literature

2019-01-31 19:13:31 UTC  

and by pretty solid I mean incredibly solid <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

2019-01-31 19:13:56 UTC  

Every time an organism is conceived, it can have a mutation. Enough of these build up and it leads to something different than before over many, many, many, many generations.

2019-01-31 19:14:03 UTC  

I said it was enough to prevent it from being a law like other scientific ideas, completely different from failure

2019-01-31 19:14:08 UTC  

no

2019-01-31 19:14:12 UTC  

literally just no

2019-01-31 19:14:23 UTC  

gravity breaks down on the quantum level, and is not described by the "law"

2019-01-31 19:14:27 UTC  

Gravity is a theory.

2019-01-31 19:14:30 UTC  

through and through

2019-01-31 19:14:32 UTC  

Newton's law of universal gravitation

2019-01-31 19:14:34 UTC  

it is a theory

2019-01-31 19:14:37 UTC  

the same way as evolution.

2019-01-31 19:14:47 UTC  

It is still classed as a theory

2019-01-31 19:14:52 UTC  

stop playing semantics games

2019-01-31 19:15:30 UTC  

Then if it breaks down at the quantum level, it too isnt omnesipent.

2019-01-31 19:16:16 UTC  

Its ok to not have all the answers. It doesnt discret it or mean its a failure

2019-01-31 19:16:18 UTC  

much smarter men than I have taken on this discussion before

2019-01-31 19:16:30 UTC  

I think yall are mistaking my point

2019-01-31 19:16:50 UTC  

I was trying to get to your point, by asking about the spiritualism stuff

2019-01-31 19:17:05 UTC  

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki Tell me, what do you think evolution is.

2019-01-31 19:17:08 UTC  

because I've heard this from religious people before
