[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 2695436, member: 239"] There are two problems when it comes to discussing evolution: 1) many people who try to discuss the topic don't know the difference between theory and hypothesis. Knowing the difference is critical. Theories can be tested and verified. Hypothesis are the foundation upon which theories are derived. 2) People who believe in evolution have a fact/logic based world view. People that don't quite often don't based on religious views which (psychological term - not mine) have a magical thinking based world view. The problem here is that "neither the twain shall meet". Invariably any discussion of evolution breaks down to you do or you don't and it's a waste of time to try to change the view of the opposition. Which leads to this: One wonders how long it will take before this thread gets LOCKED! [/QUOTE]
