Are there any observable things in nature or scientific facts that run counter to the theory of evolution and are their any skeptics in /sci/ of evolution?
>>8883069
no.
go to class. read textbooks.

Wtf? Americans can read? I thought all they could do was eat.

Welcome to 4chan, Christian Shill.

What do stars have to do with evolution? Are they giant space fire flies or something?

There is not just one theory of evolution. So you could be skeptical of a theory but still believe in evolution. But it usually refers to Darwin's. Darwin actually offered ways to prove his theory wrong. Which seems quaint in today's popsci. But is how you are actually supposed to fucking do science.
I absolutely destroyed Darwin's theory here. Also, I destroyed everyone who is always yelling about how evolution is the true history of human kind.

Ok then, what about the modern or extended synthesis?

What about the fossil record, ya doof?

It's possible for Darwin's theory to be wrong and a theory of evolution to be correct. Something could prove Lamarck's theory correct or that both can occur. And some parse out a difference between Darwin and Wallace.

You took the world by storm, anon.
Don't let anybody hold you back!
I like Flat Earth threads better

Which part of the theory of evolution? That men and apes share an ancestor? Or that evolution happens in general? Because the second is just fact. Observe the domesticated dog. We did that. new generations do change over time and whether the selective pressures on reproduction are artificial or natural when they favor whichever trait, evolution will occur.
The man and apes thing, fuck it. That's a fact too. I can't defend it as eloquently, but fuck you if it isn't obvious to you and sky fairies seem more plausible.
The theory of evolution is living things get better over time to become more sexually successful. Even non-living things like viruses and Ribozymes evolve.

>better
>to become more sexually successful
"Better" in whatever circumstances led to its success, but not actually better in any net sense.
and
They don't evolve "to" become more sexually successful. They evolve because they were more sexually successful.

I was being incredibly broad and basic in that definition. Bringing up natural selection would have added another 4-5 sentences.
>>8883955
Did anyone actually read this?
I just finished a seminar class focused on scientific writing and it made this extra hilarious to me.
>>8883069
of parts yeah.
But evolution as a whole has mountains of evidence now.
There's been a couple of fraud missing links.
A couple others that are within breeding distance of modern animals.
Also, it seems like you could almost draw arbitrary spectrums and trees of life based on similarity, especially if you're missing huge gaps in the fossil record.
>observable things
Well, lack thereof. No one has observed speciation. No one has produced any relevant models of one trait that has been selected or eliminated. No one has observed the "fittest" do anything but destroy their environment and eventually themselves.

A few, but they usually get debunked sooner or later

No.

the fact that the world is only 65 million years old.

It works! It's settled! Bitch!

>we've witnessed evolution happening since Darwin's time
Many such cases indeed.
The second law of thermodynamics mathematically proves that evolution is a lie.
