The Three Theories of Evolution

Darwin's theory of evolution is not really a theory of evolution, but rather a theory to explain the theory of evolution. What we actually have is the theory of natural selection explaining the theory of evolution.With respect to the theory of evolution, there are really three theories of evolution.The first theory of evolution states that "the heavens" (including the Earth) evolved. From what, no one seems interested in speculating, but if there is no creator, then they had to evolve from some prior matter.The second theory of evolution hypothesizes that on the Earth, the soil, water, and rocks that mysteriously appeared as a result of the evolution of the heavens then evolved into a primitive life form -- another mystery and one that has never been replicated by biologists.Finally, the third theory of evolution -- and the one that usually is identified as the theory of evolution, at least when Darwin is left out of the equation -- states that this primitive life form burgeoned (again, mysteriously) into the millions of life forms that now exist or have existed n the Earth in the past.Those who argue in favor of creation of these various species, as opposed to their coming to be through a process of evolution, will never be successful arguing from science. Creationism, as it is called, can have no basis in science, while there is evidence -- although incomplete -- for evolution.The creationists, if they are to be successful, must argue from logic. Logically speaking, there are only three possibilities to explain life on Earth. They are:(a) Life always existed in its present form, including extinct species,
(b) Life evolved from the most basic form of life (as evolution posits), or
(c) A non-physical entity created life.Out of these three possibilities, the least likely is the second. Not only has evolution never been witnessed nor has life ever been created by human beings, but a theory of the evolution of life cannot separate itself from the other two theories of evolution, which leaves us only with the possibilities that prior to the existence of the process that resulted in the heavens, there was either a creator or some other form of matter that always existed. And it is more logically efficient to posit the former, namely, divine intervention.

[QUOTE][B]Not only has evolution never been witnessed[/QUOTE][/B]Evolution has been witnessed. Ever heard of antibiotic resistance?Also we have all these early "humans" that look like apes. How do you explain them? [QUOTE][B]nor has life ever been created by human beings[/QUOTE][/B]But replicating molecules have been, and there is no reason these could not evolve into cells. Plus, those molecules fit the definition of life, in the most primitive sense. Therefore this is incorrect.Plus, neither the creation of life from nonlife nor evolution need to be witnessed to be studied by science. We've never looked into the core of the Sun to check but we're very sure that there's fusion going on there. We've never even drilled to Earth's mantle (though we've tried) but we know the dimensions and properties of the Earth's interior. We've never seen a black hole but we can infer their presence and properties.Plus, you have a similar situation in criminal courts. People are frequently executed for serious crimes though there are no witnesses because there is enough forensic evidence there. Geology and evolution work on similar forensic evidnece.

And where exactly did you get these "three theories of evolution" from? Not a science textbook, I'm pretty sure. More like a Chick tract.....
