(37,573 posts)Something I have done continuously. "Disprove one" does not mean necessarily that "I believe it" but it does mean that "I believe it cannot be disproven."
How, for example, would you, or anyone, disprove the Theory of Fred?
The theory of Fred says that the Universe was created in 1997 by a cosmic entity known only as Fred.
Go ahead, try to disprove it.
In somewhat the same way, I have asked people to prove the theory of evolution. Not because I, myself, do not believe in evolution. But because it seems to me that these people believe "the theory of evolution is proven and there is overwhelming scientific evidence to support it" not because they have examined the evidence and been convinced, but rather because they were told "the theory of evolution is proven and there is overwhelming scientific evidence to support it" and they basically accepted that statement on faith. Yet they mock the faith of others without applying nearly as much scrutiny to their own.
