Theory v Law 5-22-25

The theory of evolution by natural selection, proposed by Charles Darwin, explains how species change over time through the process of natural selection. It posits that individuals within a population exhibit variation, and those with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their advantageous traits to future generations. Over time, this process leads to the accumulation of beneficial traits within a population, causing it to evolve and potentially diverge into new species.

The Scopes Trial, also known as the "Monkey Trial," was a highly publicized 1925 trial in Dayton, Tennessee, where John T. Scopes was charged with violating the Butler Act, which prohibited the teaching of evolution in public schools. The trial became a national spectacle, pitting fundamentalist religious beliefs against modern scientific ideas. While Scopes was convicted and fined, the conviction was later overturned on a technicality, and the trial ultimately raised broader questions about the role of science and religion in education.

Science and Religion have a history of colliding and both camps are known to get it wrong. The sun does not revolve around the Earth. There are several kinds of “Laws”. Science separates “Theories” and “Laws” based on proof. Religion defines “Laws” based on scripture. Governments define “Laws” based on their Constitutions.

US Law is based on Judeo-Christian principles, but allows for Religious Freedom.

The Theory of Evolution is not a “Law”. Students need to know the “Scientific Method” that requires proof.

Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, comprising special and general relativity, revolutionized our understanding of space, time, gravity, and the universe. Special relativity, published in 1905, established that the laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion and that the speed of light is constant, regardless of the motion of the light source. General relativity, published in 1915, extended this to include gravity, describing it as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy.

Isaac Newton's three laws of motion are fundamental principles in physics that describe how objects move. They are: 1) Law of Inertia: An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. 2) Law of Acceleration: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This is often expressed as F = ma. 3) Law of Action and Reaction: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Darwin’s Theory is yet to be proven.  It attempts to explain why some species of birds are similar, but different. It does not support the notion that Humans evolved from the sea, became mammals, then monkeys and then Humans.

Extraterrestrial Theory is yet to be proven. Extraterrestrial refers to anything originating, existing, or occurring outside Earth or its atmosphere. This includes potential alien life, objects like meteorites, and civilizations beyond our solar system. In essence, it's a broad term encompassing anything not native to our planet.
