Can anybody provide proof for evolution? This guy Kent Hovind will pay anyone $250,000 for providing tanglible evidence and will debate anybody who asks.

Can anybody provide proof for evolution? This guy Kent Hovind will pay anyone $250...

No, that's why it's called a theory. It's merely the one that makes the most sense and is the most likely at the current point.
Austin Gonzalez
it's not a theory in the way the word implies (the evidence could go either way). Evolution isn't a theory in that sense, since the evidence is firmly behind evolution.
The word 'theory' has traditionally been used by scientists to mean something like 'a coherent framework to explain observations', so evolution is a theory in that sense.

No, he will not. Rather, he will find some excuse to dismiss any and all pieces of evidence shown to him.
Sebastian Murphy
These guys just put up this money so that their followers can point to nobody obtaining it as proof that it's false.
No amount of proof will ever be considered acceptable for him.

>why
The fact that living things change over time is a fact
Natural selection, niche construction, are more heuristical than theory. They are ideas used to examine the facts, not models of the facts themselves.

For an actual theory I think we need a general model of biosemiotics, their syntax and semantics, especially the dynamic parts. So something like Peirce's 1st 2nd 3rds except put into a hierarchical model to explain things like complex realizability and downwards causation
