#1379, "RE: Observables"
|
Its meaningful to concede that the theory of evolution isn't the equivalent of a mathematical proof.
In terms of evolution, due to the complexities involved, predictions made in terms of evolution are hard to quantify and observe. At this point, for instance, we cannot state how long it would take for an isolated group of chimpanzees to become as intelligent as humans, nor can we guarantee its occurrence, nor can we construct any proof against that or experiment against it.
Thus it can be said that the fact that chimpanzees can evolve does not necessitate that they evolve into humans. Furthermore it can be said that the exact influences involved with humans evolving along their specific path cannot be quantified or reproduced, due to the complexities and lack of data. To say we have absolute certainty about all the factors involved with man's origins is misleading and, frankly, simply incorrect.
That's a pretty huge "but" to the theory of evolution, one that should be acknowledged. This caveat, mind you, is already acknowledged in terms of Newton's laws, Moore's law, etc, yet you're unwilling to concede it regarding evolution, which is much more of a stab in the dark than those.
