A hypothesis may be based on opinion, but without some evidence to back up that opinion, that hypothesis isn't going to get too far and certainly won't result in a viable theory.
True faith however is the acceptance of a true proof. Faith and Proof are nearly identical except faith adds one more aspect to truth (acceptance).
I suppose it is difficult not to have faith in an absolute truth (like if I wake up in the morning, I won't be floating in the air because I have faith that gravity will not fail), but I believe one can have true faith with no truth or proof and nothing other than their opinion to support that faith.
I'll use a link instead of embed in an attempt to honor the proprietors wishes. It's a good one.
Debate
A scientific theory is a fact, supported by evidence and scientific laws from different scientific areas, all supporting the same end conclusion.
While it may seem comfusing, a scientific theory is a step above a scientific fact, as it has more evidence and fields of study backing it up
- scientist don’t have an agenda other than to expand our knowledge of the world and the universe. I have no idea why you would want to call that an agenda in the first place.
- In science, and now law, creationism is not science. It is religion, it’s bunk, and illegal to teach in science class rooms. That’s how bunk it is. No working or testable science is produced. It’s all bunk science to push their religious beliefs of creationism. It hasn’t passed the test and is not worth spending more time on. It really isn’t debatable. Science landed us on the moon, built CERN, and gave us satellites. Creationism hasn’t produced anything, because it doesn’t work. Want a better example? Look at countries where creationism is taught and tell me how developed their countries are, how much scientific discovery they produce. Nothing.
-I think you are mixing evolution and the big bang in your last point. They are not the same.
However, the origins of man is very much documented and undisputed.
The more science evolves, the more it has proven these theories based on progress in other fields of study, not the other way around. Even though we certainly have tried to disprove or find faults, we find the opposite. That’s what makes it so darn awesome!
Have you ever wondered why science supposes that man is the higher evolved species?
I agree with you that science is an awesome thing. Have you ever wondered why we are able to perform science? Why does science continue to work. The answer to that question is even more awesome.
Also one more question for you. What would be the greatest possible act (or being if you will) that you can conceive of? What is your highest thought be it provable or not?
Theory basics
The University of California, Berkley, defines a theory as "a broad, natural explanation for a wide range of phenomena. Theories are concise, coherent, systematic, predictive, and broadly applicable, often integrating and generalizing many hypotheses."
Any scientific theory must be based on a careful and rational examination of the facts. Facts and theories are two different things. In the scientific method, there is a clear distinction between facts, which can be observed and/or measured, and theories, which are scientists' explanations and interpretations of the facts.
The evolution of a scientific theory
A scientific theory is not the end result of the scientific method; theories can be proven or rejected, just like hypotheses. Theories can be improved or modified as more information is gathered so that the accuracy of the prediction becomes greater over time.
Theories are foundations for furthering scientific knowledge and for putting the information gathered to practical use. Scientists use theories to develop inventions or find a cure for a disease.
Some think that theories become laws, but theories and laws have separate and distinct roles in the scientific method. A law is a description of an observed phenomenon in the natural world that hold true every time it is tested. It doesn't explain why something is true; it just states that it is true. A theory, on the other hand, explains observations that are gathered during the scientific process. So, while law and theory are part of the scientific process, they are two very different aspects, according to the National Science Teachers Association.
A good example of the difference between a theory and a law is the case of Gregor Mendel. In his research, Mendel discovered that two separate genetic traits would appear independently of each other in different offspring. "Yet Mendel knew nothing of DNA or chromosomes. It wasn't until a century later that scientists discovered DNA and chromosomes — the biochemical explanation of Mendel's laws," said Peter Coppinger, an associate professor of biology and biomedical engineering at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. "It was only then that scientists, such as T.H. Morgan working with fruit flies, explained the Law of Independent Assortment using the theory of chromosomal inheritance. Still today, this is the universally accepted explanation (theory) for Mendel's Law."
Quote from: What is a Scientific Theory?
Theories can be disproved, so they are not facts. They are well substantiated ideas that still leave room for doubts.
Pit Row
Life is a paradigm. In which we only study the living portion. Can’t study the after life. So we can’t find the answers until we cross over.
Theory is if the power goes out in a movie theatre....everything is dark black and empty. We can theorize this will be the same when we die; however, we can’t come back to life to prove or disprove this theory.
And of course I also believe in the Big Bang. I mean...That’s how i was I made. but what created the events up to that Big Bang ? A creator....so in my eyes they work with eachother. The creator needs evolution just as evolution needs the creator...but evolution never happens without the creator.
Not worth it.
No I have never wondered why humans are at the top of the food chain.
No I have never wondered why we are able to do science, it’s a given.
Hights thought? Probably something regarding astro physics. They aren’t my thoughts, but reading and whatching some of the ideas behind astro physics blow my mind.
Only a few people have bread these highly endangered animals and the first wild one in 100 years hatched on the Galapagos this year. I plan on being added to that group. With out captive husbandry your kids would be only reading about these in books as they would be extinct as well as many other species.
