The Oxford dictionary defines the term ‘belief’ in multiple ways:
1. An acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one without proof 1.1 Something one accepts as true or real; a firmly held opinion 1.2 A religious conviction 2. (Belief in) Trust, faith, or confidence in (someone or something) The scientific theory of evolution is often presumed by creation-admirers to be a belief; a notion that hasn’t any evidence (which is clearly self-contradictory considering the notion of creation has no evidence whatsoever). By definition, the scientific theory of evolution is not a belief, neither an assumption or notion, nor a supposition or guess. Why? - Since there is abundant amounts of evidence that validate the scientific theory of evolution. Coming to terms with definitions is important and even so, history-deniers will still form an excuse to disagree with the theory of evolution. |
