"Regarding all your quotes, they're just assertions with no supporting evidence by people with dubious credentials. Frankly, I don't have time to carefully study what every crackpot has to say. Give me a real argument, and then I'll see what you have to say. And please, don't just cut and paste from a creationist website."

Before I cut and paste some more, let me say this: Someone with dubious credentials might be someone like yourself. On what basis do you assert that the posted assertions are from scientists with dubious credentials or crackpots? How can you just make a blanket statement like that? Just stop and listen to yourself. There are an ever increasing number of scientists speaking out against evolution. The truth of the matter is that you don't know jack about their credentials!
DARWINS BLACK BOX: THE BIOCHEMICAL CHALLENGE TO EVOLUTION
by Michael J. Behe

If Darwinians respond to this important book by ignoring it, misrepresenting it, or ridiculing it, that will be evidence in favor of the widespread suspicion that Darwinism today functions more as an ideology than as a scientific theory.

I am not a biologist. I have no credentials. That's why I don't expect anyone to accept my assertions based on authority. Thus I support my assertions with arguments, facts, and logic in the hopes that they will be convincing.

The quotes you supplied were merely assertions without any supporting arguments or fact. I don't accept anyone's unsupported assertions. I don't care what their credentials are.

Enough cutting and pasting. Enough quoting of assertion from supposed "authorities." I want arguments backed up with facts and logic, which you seem unable to supply.
