Theory simply means that the truth about an idea is not known or understood. A model is proposed and evidences are sought to ascertain the verity of the idea. A Christianity was drummed and became a culture, science is gradually taking over in Europe.
It will, the Bible says towards the end, knowledge shall increase. We in Africa are still poor in mind. We rely majorly on the spiritual to solve real and imaginary problems.
I don't see us changing our views any time soon as our lives depend spiritual not science.

Wrong. You have it backwards. It is evidence first before a theory is formulated. Which means your meaning of theory is wrong. Look up the meaning of scientific theory.

Was knowledge going to decrease before? You guys and the so called prophecies that are like predicting that the sun will rise in the east.

Where in any of this does it say homo erectus came from homo sapien?

Like you don't know man refers to the human species in general.

Paxonel has already pointed this out and i have explained that i only remembered those 2 and i did not know which came first or last.

Who brought your god to you, was it not "white men"? LMFAO!

BTW remind me how many Africans are in your organisation's top leadership?

See mumu
Before the Whiteman came, there was no worship in Africa?
Now, my point is not on whether the mode of worship was true or false
The universality of religion and how it shapes man only gives proof to a god or God. Meaning that there is God and man has this consciousness to know and worship him.

There are many things Darwin said regarding evolution that if not found within 100 years, his entire theory should be considered false. They have not been found but people are still following the scientific philosophy of Darwin's evolution and saying those that don't accept their school of thought are unintelligent. Makes sense!

It is not even a myth.

It is a very wicked diversionary lie created by satan and his children to remove people from seeing the only firmly standing real eyeity, which they have always seen from the beginning of the world, that God is truly The Owner and Creator of the world.

It's because they don't want to accept a Creator that they will be accountable to for selfish actions
Ask them this question
'Everything in the Natural world is a marvel of design.' Yes/No. They will say yes.
And every design has a designer. Yes or no? They won't give a straight answer but ask who designed God. How will you understand the designer of someone you don't even understand his very being? Do I have to know who gave birth to the person that built my house before I accept my house has a Maker

Ask them.
If life was created, it will have a purpose right? They will say yes
If life emerged by chance or accident, it will be meaningless right? Some will say yes if they have no shame

Ask them, is their own life or existence purposeful or meaningless? No answer

Since they say that those that belive on God are foolish
I ask them, your parents and ancestors believe in God right? Between you and them, who is stupid? No reply
I have atheists around me, I csnt make friends with people who don't accept their life has no meaning. They themselves don't even bring their foolish philosophy cos I expose their stupidity and put into their own pockets

Problem is many Africans stupidly think that the whiteman is wise in spite of how miserable and unhappy they are. Well, the good thing is that all of them becone unhappy and miserable just as their whitemen gods are.

And clearly without doubt, whitemen are their gods and their ways, their religion. So, in the end, they are still religious! Hahahahahaha grin

In education, there are different levels. We have the emeritus, professors, lecturers, students, pupils, daycare, dropouts and those that did not go to school. All of these ones receive one form of education or the other. Education means to learn and even those that did not go to school still gain knowledge in some informal ways... In my own mind, no one is educationless

Whether you're a Muslim, atheists, Christian, pagan, traditionalists, agnostic, Buddhist, name it. We all have an express one form of religion based on beliefs, principles, moral values and or philosophies that shape our lives whether you accept the existence of a god, gods, or none.
Because you stop going to school or you hate the education system does not make you 'educationless'

Atheists and homosexuals are fools indeed. They preach tolerance but those that do not bend and accept their mumu way of life is an idiot to them.
No be whiteman bring evolution?

They want to condemn something but that's the same thing they're still doing!
The concept of God has been there from time immemorial it's mode of worship and rules that has changed but the idea of a supreme being is everywhere.
Now what they're getting wrong is that it's the same whiteman that's rubbishing the concept that's still teaching them how to use their brains! cheesy

Maybe the concept of God before the whitemen came was part of evolution from monkeys or it actually escaped from whiteman land in a far distant time

Now you see how atheists can be foolish but one yeye Christian that does not study the Bible for himself but listen to mummy GO, will be envying the atheist. They are just negatively critical and pessimistic . That is not a characteristic of the intellectuals

Noooo
Whiteman have become powerful and wise and they want to feel they are the most intelligent in the planet and they bring up a new religion of evolution so they know they are the real gods. Unstable fools want to follow and belong and join the democratic party of intelligent people
We are following whiteman concept
Whose concept are they following?

He actually told you what a theory means in science. It is you who don't understand it.
A theory in science is the explanation for a fact after evidence has been repeatedly tested. Theories are fallable but the fact remains constant.

Theory of everything does not exist. It's a proposed theory that physicists are working on to unify all the theories that we have. It's not a thing yet. The theory of everything will explain a fact called "everything".

Dalton Atomic Theory explains a fact call "Atom".

Theory of relativity explains a fact called "gravity".

Modern synthetic theory of evolution explains a fact called "Evolution".

A theory in science always explain a natural fact.

A law predicts what happens while a theory proposes why. A theory will never grow up into a law, though the development of one often triggers progress on the other.

Ok. I did not care to know which is earlier or later, i only remember those 2 names, and that is not the point i wanted you to address.

My point was, you said man "did not evolve from them" plus man evolved from them

paxonel:
The theory says man have a common ancestor with these creatures, not that man evolved from them
that's what it suggest!
And, according the theory, homosapien being the most recently EVOLVED PRIMATE

Is this not contradictory?
They have a common ancestor means that there is an extinct primate species(which is still not known) that both homosapien and monkeys or Ape originated from. That extinct primate is their common ancestor and the origin human evolution, not monkey's or Ape.

You can Google the question "Are humans evolved from Ape or monkey's ?"

You are right.

But Evolution theory is not absolute just as the the others mentioned. All these are called theories and none of them is a final truth.

Truth is a final, unchangeable fact.
Anyway, as I said, the Bible predicted, knowledge shall increase but not as to nullify the essence called God.

Science is a good attempt by man to understand creation. We have surprises everyday at the frontier of knowledge!

But we need to understand and find out of he accepts all forms of worship and if not, which one is acceptable to him and have his approval

Christianity did not start from white men

Close but misleading to say that “Modern synthetic theory of evolution explains a fact called "Evolution".”

Evolution is a fact and a theory. The evolution you’re discussing is a theory. The evolution that is a fact involves the observation of viruses etc evolving.

So when they say “a theory is an explanation of facts” they don’t mean evolution as a whole is a fact lol. They mean there are several facts eg DNA sequence, artefacts etc that we can observe and put together these facts to try to explain them as a theory.

No one has observed humans evolving from monkeys or tested it. If it happens, it would take too long for any scientists to realistically test it. We haven’t had the knowledge we have now for long enough ❤️

Theory if evolution does not says that humans evolved from monkeys.

What it simple explains is that "in a poplalation of organisms with variable pool, genes frequency change over many generations. This gene versatility is caused by mutations and gene recombinations and these gene fluctuations is triggered by environmental selection called natural selection. Over many generations, numerous fluctuations in gene frequency results in speciation, which means that one or more species in the parent species will not longer be genetically capable of mating with one of its relative to produce fertile offpsrings"

Basically the key words are, variation, mutation, gene recombination, natural selection and speciation. We have observe every bit of this and repeated evidence exist.

In human we have observed mutations, gene recombinations, variation and natural selection. We also have evidence in terms of DNA that humans did not just pop up from thing air
