peace, psyah. from reading your reply i think you aren’t at all familiar with the idea of rigor in proof, nor the scientific method.

Newton’s laws have never been proven - i.e., it has never been shown conclusively that if I had two masses in my hand at 10 pm tomorrow, they’ll behave in such a manner. They have been disproved on several occasions. Newtonian mechanics is at best a crude approximation that fails to predict the behavior of matter at most scales in this universe. But you are convinced of it being the truth because umm.. i don’t know.. my guess is an inability to comprehend what the theory states, and what is meant by conclusive evidence.

Evolution has demonstrable proof. Speciation has happened under human observation enough times to count as proof, especially if your acceptance as proof is as lax as what you mention for Newton’s laws. Also, evolution is a lot more complex than Newton’s laws which can be explained in three lines, and umm… which you don’t seem to comprehend fully to see they are just a small range approximation. I find it hard to believe you even realize what evolution is.

The only reason why you are bending over backwards to dispute evolution is because you choose to interpret scripture literally, and it contradicts reality. Which can be hard to reconcile.
