You continue to evaluate

If you get discharge from the military for mental reasons you will get a permanent record of it in Norway that will block you to get a weapon in the future

The same happens in the states. It can also cost you a security clearance.

And is a common reason for removing custody from veterans during divorce disputes.

Post death, concious, genesis, cause of the universe all have moved to perview of religion. All huge grey areas that science may never know the answer

I do not consider science incapable of answering questions about things that religion typically claim are beyond the material. I think religious people tend to make up things to explain experiences or occurrences they do not fully understand.

Science does not do this

@Segfault198 it doesnt ban you from gun purchase.

also, the bit about evolution being just a "theory", just speaks to the confusion that the word itself sparks. Gravity is also a theory

a scientific "theory" is different to how the word "theory" is used in day to day language

@Mal science doesnt because of whay it is. But it also doesnt tend to lean towards the areas religion holds. Why? Because science is dominated by materialists. As well science isnt a bastion of purity. Politics and psuedoscience runs rampent.

I suppose you're setting this whole "materialist" term up as an opposite to the unknowable "spiritualist" that religion somehow has authority over?

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

Newton's law of universal gravitation

what are these holes in the theory of evolution?

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

ah yes, the missing links

But its enough to prevent it from becoming a law.

There are no "missing links".

Doesn't that only apply to humans?

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Yes, that's whole point of evolution.

evolution is not constantly changing

Jesus Christ

yes as well, but in layman's terms.

I never said it was a failure

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

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

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.

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

no

literally just no

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

Gravity is a theory.
