It's my understanding that if there is enough evidence to support a hypothesis, it gets promoted to a theory. So since the hypothesis of common descent is supposedly supported by "mountains of evidence" provided by the fossil record, embryology, genetics, comparative anatomy, nested hierarchies ... blah, blah, blah, why it is not promoted to the status of "theory". All evolutionary biologists consider common descent to an irrefutable fact, so why it's lowly status as a hypothesis still? Dredge is confused.
A theory is a tested hypothesis.A theory also generates hypotheses, like evolution predicts a common ancestor, so that becomes a hypothesis that needs to be tested.

The general theory of evolution was explained to me on an atheist site I was once on (they loved me). It is simply the theory that all present life forms evolved from much simpler forms of life. Versions of this theory have been around for thousands of years. It was a superstitious belief not based on any scientific evidence. Darwinism is a "scientific" attempt to provide a mechanism for how such an evolutionary process might work. But it's still superstition ... scientifically-flavoured superstition. I don't know the general theory of evolution. As King Solomon said, "There is nothing new under the Sun."

What about the first necessary evolution - that of inanimate matter evolving into the first living organism? Abiogenesis requires a shipload of faith, I'd say.

Utter bullshit. Complete and utter stupid dishonest bullshit. There is no equivalence between science and religion and to make such an assertion is simply a dishonest unsupported assertion.
I didn't say there is an equivalence between science and religion. For starters, Darwinism isn't science ... it's pseudo-science. Darwinism is a cult, and there are similarities between any cult and religion.Since you are in the cult, you can't see pass it. But to someone who is outside the cult looking in, the similarities to religion are obvious. Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.

"I practice theology" - what does that mean? I am a religious person. I practice theology.I also accept evolution. That is very different from religious belief. Millions of years of evolution is incompatible with the Bible. Theistic evolutionists are heretics and the worst theologians ever invented, imo. Their idea of sound theology is laughable and pathetic - ignore Scripture and Christian doctrine and replace it with Scientism. Theistic Darwinists and atheistic Darwinists are actually on the same side and belong to the same cult. Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.

All primitive cultures came up with creation stories about how life came into existence. Darwinism is simply a creation story invented by atheist culture. The only difference is, it claims to be scientific.

You never did respond to New Cat's Eye, you lying hypocrite!
Is that the only way you can defend your pitiful god, though lies and deception? Everybody knows your god, the only one who depends on lies and deception: Satan.

Please translate this into English.

"We present a statistical graphical model to infer specific molecular function for unannotated protein sequences using homology. Based on phylogenomic principles, SIFTER (Statistical Inference of Function Through Evolutionary Relationships) accurately predicts molecular function for members of a protein family given a reconciled phylogeny and available function annotations, even when the data are sparse or noisy. "
Please explain how SIFTER makes use of the theory that all life shares a common ancestor.Page Not Found | PLOS Computational Biology...

Yet you have not been able to provide and evidence to support your bullshit.

If you need a translation, then you are mentally incapable of discussing it.
From the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, we have the following line (from memory): This news is for all the higher-developed life-forms of the Galaxy. For the rest of you guys, the secret is to keep banging the rocks together, guys! Edited by dwise1, : No reason given.

But either way, you are not worth my time. Good day, sir.
