Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

The wise cdk007 has made a new video. He does an excellent job in explaining what a theory is and that saying that evolution is "just a theory" is fallacious. A hypothesis is a guess, a theory is to explain facts. Evolution happens, and the theory of evolution explains how it happens.

A good vid indeed. Lately I've seen crap in Youtube like footage from David Attenborough's Life of Birds redubbed by a stupid creationist who thinks the Bible teaches islam

Once again, I would like to suggest the Youtube series 'Why do people laugh at Creationists'.

I've seen several videos of that series. I like Thunderf00t too.

Evolution was only a theory until radiocarbon dating came along and allowed the exact age of fossils to be known. After that it was an observation in the fossil record.

We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar.

"The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming

I believe you just missed the point of this video. Or was that sarcasm?
