You just had a holiday 
when I am in Greece I always see these crazy Germans cycling around in the mountains in
the damn hot weather - not for me lol - too much work for a Holiday

I think France or Italy would be the best choice

ah come on - Ruraloperator must be one of the most harmless players around -
I have never ever seen him tk. I know he likes to do that pb kick thingens - (something like 5 points against slot blah blah .....  someone that kills him) - but it actually doesn't kick you completely and I think he just does it out of frustration or boredom or whatever -
I suggest leave him alone - whoever sees him as a threat look at his stats and then just give the whole thing a big smile

Vegeta - I have lived in different places of this world and I think I have experienced more
in life than you ever will.

So call me a dunce I don't really care.
I am not a native English Speaker, but I think my English suffices.
The article I copied just explains how science works - that's all - and if you refuse to understand or comprehend any other opinion - what's the use talking to you.You are one of the true believers and your booking to heaven has been confirmed.Until then be the gobshyte you wanna be and put yourself above the bible, evolution, science...... - you know it all Baby - you are so marvelous the whole universe shines out your ass with an approval stamp of God of course - which only you understand and no one else - cause you are the Chosen One - let's not forget this.

I have come to the conclusion that it doesn't really matter what people say to you -
because you always want to have the last word and you refuse to come out of the little dreamworld you are living in.
So enjoy the endless conversations with yourself - I am simply not interested any more
in whatever you have to say - there is basically no use talking to someone like you.
And that's it for me - The Chapter Vegeta is closed once and for all

Has Evolution Been Proven?


No, it has not been.

Many creationists would be content to end this essay there, but in reality, the situation is not so simple. To argue against the theory of evolution by saying that it “hasn’t been proven” is to demonstrate a severe misunderstanding of the nature of science, which this essay will endeavor to correct.

It is true that the theory of evolution has not been proven – if, by that term, one means established beyond any further possibility of doubt or refutation. On the other hand, neither has atomic theory, the theory of relativity, quantum theory, or indeed any other theory in science. The reason for this is that science does not deal in absolute proof, only in the balance of the evidence.

To see why this is and must be true, imagine that we are scientists seeking to explain some feature of the natural world. Based on the evidence available to us, we can construct a hypothesis – an educated guess – which we offer as that explanation. If more evidence turns up that supports our hypothesis, if our hypothesis is testable and falsifiable, and if our hypothesis can be used to make predictions which turn out to be correct – if all these things are true, then our hypothesis graduates to the status of a theory and, in time, becomes accepted scientific wisdom.

But how do we really know the original hypothesis is true? What if it completely misses the mark, but gives the right answers just by coincidence? Or what if it is just an approximation, giving generally correct answers while failing to capture the true reality of what is going on? How can we ever be sure that these things are not the case?

The answer is, of course, that we cannot know this. This is why no scientific theory, including evolution, is ever considered to be proven. The more evidence that accumulates to support a theory, the more our confidence in it grows. Eventually, a point may be reached where the quantity of evidence supporting the theory is so vast, so overwhelming, that further attempts to deny or question it would be futile and unfounded. This is the case with the theory of evolution, as it is the case with the other theories, such as the atomic theory of matter or the theory of plate tectonics, that form the pillars of modern science. But this is not absolute proof. Not even the best-supported, most thoroughly verified theories of science are put on a pedestal and considered infallible, since at any time, some shocking new piece of evidence might turn up that completely contradicts accepted knowledge. We have no way of knowing that this will not happen in the future.

This is not to imply that the theory of evolution is in any way tentative or uncertain. On the contrary, it is extremely robust, backed by over a hundred years of research, experiment and observation. In all that time, not a single piece of evidence that seriously contradicts any part of it has ever turned up. Within the scientific community, evolution is not at all controversial and is no longer questioned; it is considered to be a fact, as simple and indisputable as gravity. While it can never be absolutely proven, it has come as close to attaining this status as it is possible for any scientific theory to be. To attack evolution by labeling it an “unproven theory” misses the point entirely. There is a saying in some scientific circles: “Proof is for mathematics and alcohol.”
