Evolution is a *theory* because modern science can NOT prove it
...
More scientific illiteracy.

Everything in science is a theory because science always accepts the possibility that future evidence and theories might offer a better explanation.

As for evolution, we have plenty of evidence that it is happening and have a fairly good understanding of how. A simple example is the way covid has mutated allowing it to spread more easily but be less deadly. The random mutations happened as DNA was replicated and the mutations that provided a survival/reproductive benefit are more likely to get passed on.

There is also a continuously running experiment on evolution of fruit flies that has been going on for over 1500 generations of fruit flies.

Constantine allowed pagan worship to continue. He didn't dictate anyone's religion. Even the Goths who sacked Rome were a kind of Christian, and clearly not under Rome's rule.
Do you think Constantine was the only emperor? Books; try them

If you want to look at the Eastern Romans/Byzantines, I'd recommend the conflict against Arian Christianity but there is plenty written on the adoption of Christianity in the first place. Essentially, one the boss and all the other big shots were pushing it, your choices were to either follow along or be left out.

I assume the fruit flies are still fruit flies, and not some other type.
There is actually a distinct evolutionary group they are referring to commonly as dark-flies (one group has been in a light free environment). if you really want you could look up the scientific name for the new species.

The scientists ordered the fruit flies to maintain social distancing. They are watching how long it will take for the flies to develop a middle finger and show it to them.

The virus is just a false flag operation by antifa, BLM, Hillary Clinton, and George Soros to cover it up and also steal the election.

Have that idiot come and talk to my daughter. She WAS a healthy mid 20's girl who now can't do anywhere near what she used to because of COVID, and has breathing difficulties nearly 4 months after recovery.

Anti maskers and COVID deniers are not welcomed by me.
With all due respect, your anecdotal experience has little relevance in a discussion about statistics and analytics. I feel for you and your daughter, and your situation is bound to pull on the heartstrings around here, but that doesn't make it relevant.

LOL.

BTW, let's hope a new virus doesn't get in fruit flies & become another pandemic in humans ;

Go read up on Transposons as I quoted to previous poster
They DIRECTLY contradict the classic theory of evolution

(And ironically a Virus such as Covid can even CAUSE a Transposon so this thread is quite relevant for todays news)

So why exactly did you let your daughter out of your bomb shelter?
She should have ducked and covered

The so-called look inside a COVID ward in Alberta on CBC news seemed to show mostly empty beds.

Are you comparing the intelligence of covid deniers to fruit flies?

How about the statistics of approaching 12,000 dead Canadian?

Neat, you learned a big word. Which conspiracy selling youtuber taught you that?

Next step you should actually try and understand what they are because they sure as hell do not contradict evolution.

Sorry but parler isn't a reputable source.

And instead of relying on insults, perhaps you can explain to me how transposons prove evolution isn't happening. I'm sur ethe scientific community would also benefit from you setting them straight.

Okay, I read the Wikipedia article on transposons. And...um...yes, how do they have anything to do with evolution, except as providing an engine for mutation, upon which evolution depends?
