3-10 points why you believe in the theory of evolution and big bang

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the scientific foundations of the theory of evolution and the Big Bang theory. Key points include the distinction between the two theories, with the Big Bang being a cosmological model and evolution being supported by extensive experimental data. Participants emphasize the importance of relying on empirical evidence rather than personal belief. The conversation encourages further exploration of credible resources to deepen understanding of these scientific concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of evolutionary biology principles
  • Familiarity with cosmological models, specifically the Big Bang theory
  • Knowledge of scientific methodology and empirical evidence
  • Ability to critically evaluate scientific literature
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the evidence supporting evolutionary biology, focusing on fossil records and genetic studies
  • Explore the Big Bang theory through resources like "Cosmology: The Science of the Universe" by Edward Harrison
  • Learn about the scientific method and how it applies to both evolution and cosmology
  • Investigate common misconceptions about evolution and the Big Bang in popular media
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and science enthusiasts seeking to understand the scientific basis of evolution and cosmology, as well as anyone interested in debunking myths surrounding these theories.

Can you give me 3-10 points why you believe in the theory of evolution and/or the big bang? this is independent of any other theories.

I'd like it numbered. and just brief points, like a topic and brief explanation of why this makes you believe evolution and/or the big bang to be true. I'll do some further research on whatever topics you mention, feel free to give me some links to things as well. and please please, don't use things derived from the theory as examples of evidence for the theory. in another forum a lot of people said things like "its a fact x million years ago this happened, therefore blablabla". they didnt see what life was like x million years ago and its part of that theory, other theories suggest otherwise eg the ones here Edit: crackpot link deleted and saying things like that won't help me better understand evolution and/or big bang and won't help me come to a conclusion.

so for layout, can it be like this? (not strictly of course, this is just a guideline so i can get what i want from you)

evolution:
1 title
couple sentences about point.
couple sentences about why point is significant.

2 etc



big bang:
1 title
couple sentences about point.
couple sentences about why point is significant.

2 etc

please and thankyou!

Just to add to what Evo has said you should really pay attention to the links at the bottom of the Evolution introduction for further resources.

It's also important for you to know that The Big Bang is a cosmological model and is entirely unrelated to the theory of evolution.

Lastly your use of the word "belief" is misleading. Evolutionary biology is a hugely diverse field of study and like all scientific disciplines its veracity is based on the experimental data supporting it. So you can either accept that the data supports the theory of evolution or deny it, the latter is pretty much impossible to do honestly as evolution has mountains of evidence supporting it as a real phenomenon.
