Conspiracy theory is a derogatory term pushed by the CIA to discredit intents to question the status qoa.
That, on itself, is a conspiracy theory.

Indeed it is. But unlike what passes for conspiracy theories these days, its an actual theory.
Not really. The world is full of stupid conspiracy theories.
Sounds like you're discrediting our fellow user, u CIA?
Don't blow my cover
Evolution is a fact, the real argument is actually biogenesis. Did life originate from a soup, or was it all part of a grand design.
The old argument, is that the complexity of life is so great that it isn't reasonable to believe that it could have happen naturally. Although realistically, there's no true scientific way to prove it did or didn't. It's all theory
I think Occam's Razor would apply in that case. And the secular theory requires fewer assumptions.
Personally I don't think so, to me life looks to rigidly structured to be random. Too complex, too many if's in the way the Earth has to be just right. MAYBE it could be random but design actually seems more likely to me. Then again, though, people shape there world view to better fit around there personal identities. No one is without bias in that.
