If all scientist denounced evolution what would you people do?what would you believe in then? What proof of evolution do you have of your own??? And if you don't have any how do you argue for it.. why do you believe in it????? What transitions have you seen made.... where is the proof.... how are there possible scientist who live In the world of Facts that speak against evolution .... there is no room for bias in that world so how is it possible???? why did Darwin barely speak upon the first organism of life ever instead of focusing on the variety????? Is it a lot harder to bullshit ??????

If all scientist denounced evolution
Everything that follows is moot since this is never going to happen.
If all scientists denounced evolution, I would have to look at what new evidence turned up that made them do this. If it looked solid and did, indeed, seem to disprove evolution, I would follow suit. If it did not, I would have to try to figure out what the hell made all scientists suddenly abandon science.
Why do we have to "believe" anything? I don't build my life around the concept of evolution, if that's what you're thinking. I'd be perfectly happy if I had no idea where humanity came from, because it frankly doesn't make a difference in our day-to-day lives. Worry about where you're going first.
why did Darwin barely speak upon the first organism of life ever instead of focusing on the variety?
He had an interesting observation about species that he saw in the world, and a cogent explanation for it. He wasn't about to ruin that by engaging in baseless speculation about something he had no experience with. (Unlike let's say for the sake of argument Youtube commenters.)
Is it a lot harder to bullshit ?
Nah, it's easy to bullshit the origin of life, since there's so little hard evidence one way or another. I mean, you could even say some weird floating omnipotent being in the clouds did it.
If all scientist denounced evolution
One did.
And after his utter FAIL in Kitzmiller vs. Dover, Professor of Biochemistry Michael Behe becoming a laughingstock by the rest of his peers in the non -denouncing of Evolution scientific community, has made sure he'll be the only one.
After all, Dr. Dre Jones: what would you say to an entire denomination of Christianity - and the basis of modern Protestantism, no less: the Church of England - who openly accepts that Evolution is scientific fact ?:

It's okay, we can wait.
...oh, and 'If all scientist denounced evolution'? Your use of the word 'Scientist' in the singular is extremely telling; I refer you to Behe being made an example of: by his peers. As is your use of the first word. Because as the Spartans would say in their laconically witty way:
'If. '
It's as if you knew about what happened in that precedent-setting court case in 2005, but your living in that river in Egypt over now proven scientific fact made you wish it had never happened. Then twelve years later, you say this.
The Subconscious works in mysterious ways, it's wonders to perform, eh...?!
If all scientist denounced evolution what would you people do?
I would look at the new evidence that triggerred this baffling and seemingly impossible shift. Must be something truly spectacular--magical, in fact--given that we've already proven for a fact that evolution is real.
what would you believe in then?
As ever, whatever the testable evidence led to.
What proof of evolution do you have of your own?
Literally all of it to date. Because no one owns rights to evidence. There's only what the evidence supports and what the evidence doesn't support.
And if you don't have any how do you argue for it.. why do you believe in it?
Why are you presenting a hypothetical if you're just going to fill in my answers for me?
What transitions have you seen made....
Literally every single living thing I've ever seen.
where is the proof....
In the genetic code of the above.
how are there possible scientist who live In the world of Facts that speak against evolution .... there is no room for bias in that world so how is it possible?
Because incompatibility between their beliefs and their interests never kept an overbearing theist from diving in and attempting to pollute the landscape of their interests with their beliefs anyway. Also most of the evolution-denying scientists you sad sacks quote aren't even biologists. You score no points when you argue with an automotive engineer about the car he's working on and, to back you up, point to a carpenter and say "see? This guy agrees with me and he builds things, too" .
why did Darwin barely speak upon the first organism of life ever instead of focusing on the variety?
Because Darwin was studying the observable changes in the traits of related species. Not attempting to divine the origin of all life. Abiogenesis is not evolution. Evolution concerns the generational changes in living organisms. Abiogenesis concerns the development of inorganic materials into very primitive life forms. Evolving life forms aren't REQUIRED to have an abiogenetic origin, nor are abiogenetic life forms REQUIRED to be capable of evolution.
Is it a lot harder to bullshit ?
If willfully ignorant creationist twits like yourself are any indication then no.
If scientists "denounce" evolution, it will be because they have found new and very exciting evidence for another explanation. Exciting, to a scientist, is not something that is expressed with great numbers of superfluous question marks, so I doubt you'll read it when it comes.
I all scientists denounced evolution then presumably they have a huge well of new evidence. I would look at the evidence and make a judgement. If every scientist changed tack, I can only assume the evidence would be solid, though.
That's what you and yours never seem to understand, Mr Jones, we don't accept things on faith alone.
And asking why Darwin didn't talk about abiogenesis is like asking why a marine biologist doesn't talk about rain forests. They're completely different subjects.
@Tolpuddle Martyr
Completely irrelevant to the entry, but I grew up right near Tolpuddle. Did not expect to be thinking of the martyrs today. This world is small and coincidences are weird.
The breeding of dogs and farm stock alone show you change not only happens BUT also can be directed. To some degree Darwin merely detailed this ongoing practice and from it introduced the theory of change driven by CONDITIONS.
Being a Christian he didn't need to say how it all began and knew he shouldn't surmise this in his culture. Letters showed he was worried very much about the churches attitude to his work. In the end though he was only basing his theory on what is and what can be reasonably proven about its changing state.
Things change over time. This IS evolution and it IS PROVEN.
If all or even most biologists were to denounce evolution I would look into why, see the papers, the research, the evidence that lead them to that conclusion and I as a non scientist would accept it because they do.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
