Are there 'small' things we yet don't understand about it, sure its possible, but to deny evolution is as I said before like denying the holocaust. The evidence is overwhelming and any rational being would agree.
If you compare Evolution with Quantum Theory, to borrow the most common joke of Science today; "You just don't understand Quantum Theory." 
Evolution by 99% of the worlds Scientists is no more in doubt than Atomic Theory or Germ Theory.
Quantum Theory or Quantum Mechanics is only remotely understood by a tiny number of humans, probably under 10,000 humans could get the mathematics and theorems proposed by the top Physicists.
Evolution in comparison to Quantum Theory is like comparing finger paint to Painting the know universe as a blind monkey in a box that could hold 2 clear states of existence. |
Crap, I was trying to quote you, not thank you.
But I never denied evolution, stating only that I think it will continue to be added to as our understanding increase. Especially when it comes to macro evolution.
I was reading an article, it was posted here on CP actually talking about 'jumps' in life or evolution (in respects to the possibility of finding fossil life on Mars). There's still 3 or 4 points in the whole process where although we can surmise, predict and assume what happened, with probably a good deal of certainty that we are right, we still don't know for sure.
One of those periods has to do with cell membranes, I think one has to do with amino acids and proteins, I can look it up again. The point being, that it is a big theory, with many facets, and is NOT as airtight as say gravity.
As well, I have to agree with Rathji in saying though, that it's NOT the same as denying the holocaust. (Nor do I believe that should be something that's thrown around) One is a historical event that didn't even take place that long ago, another is a scientific theory which some people have trouble grasping.
As far as QM goes, well I was just trying to find another theory that was as of yet unfinished to use as an example, I didn't really claim to say I had a firm grasp on all of it.
