how about...

[bluegooandyou]

How about making a spot for the creation facts, ideas and theorys, and other theorys of how we got here. I think that this board should not limit it self to just one theory, but explore the others. My apologys if there is already a spot, just havent seen one yet.....

Because creation isn't science. Creation at the heart of it says things are created by supernatural means...which may be true but isn't testable scientifically.

[MrMistery]

a biology forum having topics on creation would be like a physics forum having topics on alternative hypothesis to gravity. The word "theory" in science means that it is supported by a large amount of evidence. Therefore, there can be only one theory at one time on a particular subject

[alextemplet]

Show us an alternative theory that is scientifically testable and supported by evidence, and I'm sure the mods will be glad to include a section for it. As far as I know, no such theory exists.

But what do you know? THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION
I think it's a good idea, but maybe just theory in general more than just creation, but including creation.
You have to have reason to have a theory.
And a lot of theories are testable scientifically, they just have to be gone over enough times. How do we know if a creator didn't have the perfect formula for life and we just missed it because the biology online site refused people a forum to talk about theories?
Why not make it so that we can build up the evidence needed for such theories in such a place as this?


AND! I don't think it belongs in the off topic section.

[canalon]

Alternative to evolution can be discussed in th evolution section. Of course crackpot theories not based on scientific data or not providing testable hypothesis/ conclusions might be deleted or moved to the Off-topic section.

[alextemplet]

We seem to be having a misunderstanding over the definition of theory. Scientifically, to say that something is a theory is to say that it is as close as we can currently get to being proven. An idea or a guess (which most people would call a theory) is actually better described as a hypothesis.

"Evolution is a theory not a fact" said a very stupid biology teacher to me once.
"An apple falling is a fact, gravity is a theory" i said to him

[alextemplet]

That deserves to be quoted.
