Hi, florence.
00:03
It looks like you have a question about theory in science.
00:07
I assume it's a trolling question about the theory of evolution, but i'll go ahead and answer it anyways.
00:17
So theory of evolution, repeatable data.
00:20
We definitely have repeatable data, and i just listed out one example, but we could list out hundreds of examples of different technologies and modern science that we can use to, repeat this conclusion that the world has changed over time.
00:40
That's not something that you can just go and change over one day period of time, but we definitely can see through all kinds of different sets of technology.
00:56
One of them would be dna analysis.
00:59
So if we look at a theoretical common ancestor, say dogs and wolves.
01:05
They had a common ancestor.
01:07
We could look at their dna, and we can see that they're nearly identical.
01:12
We could say the same thing about lions and tigers, humans and chimpanzees.
01:19
We can trace it back even farther and say, what do mammals have in common? where is their dna structure? versus birds or reptiles or what have jellyfish? it's all repeatable data.
01:38
So is it objective? i would argue that it is.
01:42
I mean, you can say that, well, it doesn't go along with what my feeling is if i feel that the theory of evolution diminishes my place in the universe.
01:53
That's a personal opinion based on something that's not scientific.
01:59
Whether or not god exists is a part of science.
02:02
That's a question for a different realm.
02:06
So is it objective? yes.
02:08
So if the data that's given, what does it tell us? well, the earth is old.
02:13
There's been a lot of different things that have lived on this planet over that time.
02:18
Humans have only been in here for a little while.
02:20
All of that is known.
02:23
People are welcome to try to prove that wrong, but that's like trying to prove the earth is flat.
02:29
It's just silly.
02:30
The earth is old.
02:32
And many things have lived here...
