Zeus, Odin, Osiris, Allah or Vishnu haven't been refuted by science either. Fairies, unicorns and trolls under bridges also wait for the refuting business. Still, I guess, you don't believe in all of the above.
About as much is reasonable in believing in the Evolution, the Big Bang theory, M-theory, Gravitational Theory, and Black Holes. The theory or hypothesis serves as an explanation of the phenomena. That does not mean the theory IS the explanation for the phenomena. What is will not change regardless of our theories of what is as existence is not defined by us (realism)
You don't have to believe in evolution for it to be true to yourself. Evolution and natural selection is true. Look at it this way
if evolution didn't exist we wouldn't need different variations of medication or flu vaccines. The truth is evolution does exist this is why
in the medical and pharmaceutical profession different variations of the flu vaccine exists. Because you want to believe you were created by something
doesn't make it true. Because various viruses and even diseases exist because like us the flu changes every year and even viruses and types of sicknesses
evolve to be antibiotic resistant.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.
