Quote:speaking strictly from a scientific observation point of view here. Everything has an origin point. Species have never been recorded to change from one to another, they change, they adapt, they even evolve but they haven't biologically evolved into a different species. 

 

There's two possibilities everything came from the same organism or single cell, or from the beginning our world was a complex world with multiple organisms. Both require a level of faith since neither theory can be proven, that was my original point. If we're going to only teach science and say one theory isn't scientific you have to admit the other is just as much based on faith as any other unproven theory. I find it more plausible this world and the universe has always been a complex universe made up of multiple organisms that leads me to believe there is an intelligent design behind our origion. You can argue what or who that designer is but that's more religion than science. 

Ten years ago people who believe in creation would have turned red in the face in flat out refusal of that part you accept above. What's the point? That the creation theory has attempted to ignore and deny every part of evolution including the age of the earth. Over time, the less moronic believers have been forced to accept those parts which are absolutely provable. What's the end result? The whole thing will be accepted and it will just become "the plan" of the design. That's fine if you need to put a name to things for whatever reason but that will be the end result, IMO

 

Saying that scientific extrapolation requires faith in the same manner as intelligent design is an insult to the scientific process. It's no different than misusing the word theory in a scientific sense. Totally different kinds of faith.
