I was discussing it with my friend and he said stuff like “If evolution is true howcome when you put monkies in a cave all their life they don’t turn into people?" And “Life was not something that just came out of the big bang.“

You just have to call them on their bs and explain it to them, it works well in the real world but not on forums.

Theory does not mean an unsubstantiated guess or hunch, as it can in everyday speech. A theory is a logically self-consistent model or framework for describing the behavior of a related set of natural or social phenomena.

... where do you think all the carbon, metals, water, and other elements that are in your body right now came from.

Where the universe came from - that’s in the field of cosmology, totally separate thing

Physics - again, a totally different field

Complexity of the universe - again, that’s cosmology and physics. Talk to them about that.

Origin of life - noooooo!! It’s in the same field (biology/chemistry) but it’s a different theory

So what does evolution explain? It explains the diversity and complexity of life. That’s it. Evolution does not say we came from a mud puddle so in the future if you want to be taken half way seriously, learn the theory. There is nothing that will make you look less intelligent than trying to criticize something you don’t even understand.


When I saw this topic I thought someone was pointing out what evolution didnt explain and I knew I would have to tell them thats not what evolution is ha but it was you already saying that soooo good job.
