A question about evolution

Hi Micah8294.I posted this on Age Correlations and An Old Earth, Version 2 No 1, Message 482: Several people have responded with people developing clothes to have the ability to fit their clothing to the seasons and to the different climate zones on earth.But there has also been some adaptation, see Denesovan genes in Greenland and Tibet, Message 1, and IIRC (if I recall correctly) the Inuit have a thicker fat layer than most people, providing added insulation. With a little looking you can find that many scientists have religious beliefs, many of them Christians. See Radiometric Dating, A Christian Perspective byDr. Roger C. Wiens.If you want to debate about Hovind, there is an open thread at Kent Hovind DebateThere is no "solid proof" for anything. What we understand about "life, the universe, and everything" (Douglas Adams Hitchhiker) is through testing concepts about reality by the scientific method: Hypothesis becomes scientific theory when it is tested and not invalidated, and you will hear people say that scientific theory is the best explanation of the evidence. Theories get modified or discarded when new information\evidence is found (often through the process of testing and actually one of the goals of testing - to look for predictions that would falsify the theory).When a theory passes a test it isn't considered proven, but new tests are developed to try and falsify the theory, and a theory that has been tested many times and not invalidated is accepted as the best understanding (approximation) of reality that we know. Keep an open mind but don't discard skepticism, be willing to treat your personal beliefs skeptically -- you learn the most when you challenge yourself.Again, welcome to the fray.Enjoy
