it boggles my mind that in this day and age some people still do not believe in the theory of evolution. absolutely incredible.
It is readily apparent that some of the biodiversity on this planet is the result of Darwinian mechanics; indeed, a little of it has come into existence during recorded history. That does not in any way, however, imply that humanity developed from amorphous protoplasm as evolution's proponents would suggest.
People who present evolution as fact fail to recognize an important scientific and historical principle: the fact that a particular set of initial conditions would produce results consistent with observed reality does not imply that such initial conditions ever actually existed. Other initial conditions might have produced similar results.
For example, suppose I were to posit that life on this planet is decended from a race of extra-terrestrials which sent a space ship that landed in an area that has since become a volcano. What evidence exists that would be less consistent with that theory than with the theory of evolution?
