Umm, Falkoner, new species don't just "pop up" in evolution. Competition creates niches. Small changes and differences happen constantly in genes, and when they are inheritable, they are part of evolution. You look a bit like your mom and dad, and maybe a bit of your grandparents, right? Genes are inheritable, that's the first foundation of evolution. Changes happen to those genes, that is the second foundation of evolution. Before we can continue, do you not accept either of these as true?
And what's with the emphasis on theory? Again, I reiterate, a theory in science has a different definition.

@Doodan: I'm really getting sick of that cartoon. Neither Creationism nor Evolutionism should be taught in schools, since neither have been proven. Yes, I'm a Christian.

Evolution is a theory that is slowly being proven. However, until we have extensive research, you could still consider it "Theory".
Religion is also another theory. There is little "scientific" evidence to prove religion, but then you'd argue "LUL BUT DATZ SYENSE".

>>> The word "theory" in "the theory of evolution" does not imply doubt in mainstream science regarding its validity; the words "theory" and "hypothesis" are not the same in a scientific context. While "theory" in conventional usage tends to denote a "hunch" or conjecture, a scientific theory is a set of principles which, via logical induction, explains the observations in nature. The same inductive inferences can be made to predict observations before they are made. Evolution is a theory in the same sense as the theory of gravity or the theory of relativity. <<<

FaZ-, your definition of 'proven' is quite off from what everybody else defines it as. And Gravity has been proven 'mathematically' and it is the sole reason why Isaac Newton practically invented differentiation and integral calculus in the first place. Did you know mathematics itself fails because you know you cannot prove or give any proof to 1+1=2? So stop giving false facts. Even mathematics base itself on faith. We believe 1+1 is 2.
I hope you already know this topic was about to end really nicely but then you just had to post something really highly unrelated to the entire topic.
