Why is evolution so controversial?

Hello there. Welcome to the thread, hope you can stick around and contribute!

Thanks rigno for your response!You said Oh boy! Neo-Darwinism claims that we did evolve from a common ancestor with the chimps. so yeah you did ask me for critics of Neo-Darwinism which I provided. Pretty much! What does that mean? Are you arguing that Neo-Darwinism and common ancestry are the same thing? Are you trying to tell me that if there is no common ancestry then there is no evolution? A bus driver does not have to drive a bus to be a bus driver! Clearly someone can be employed as a bus driver and still not drive buses, a teacher can be a real teacher and still not teach. A doctor can be a real doctor and till not treat. Your are a little confused here.Edited by Cedre, : No reason given.

Why should I stop using it? The reason I use it to to make sure that no one misunderstand what I am talking about. You clearly do not know what evolution is. So answer this, is evolution possible without common ancestry? You do not become a real teacher the day you teach your first class, you're a real teacher when you graduate from college with a degree in education. Same goes for other professions. Sorry I don't buy your distinctions between actual and nominal! This is completely different from profession, you become a real doctor the moment you graduate. An actor pretending to be a doctor is not the same thing as someone with a medical degree.Edited by Cedre, : No reason given.

Well that's not my fault. Wow really? Says who? Fascinating stuff! Now will you finally answer my question, is evolution possible without common ancestry? Word games, my friend! When you you graduate with an education degree you are not qualified to be a teacher, you are a teacher, you are qualified to teach! Someone with a degree in science doesn't have to pretend to be a scientists, he is a scientist!

Of course you are in fact a historian! Your attempts to vilify qualified scientists is ridiculous!

What are you on about dear Larni?

Well, my Aunt got her psychology degree last year and called herself a psychologist from day one.
