Evolutionary Biology is an oxymoron. Evolution isn't science, it is philosophy. Biology is science. Evolution doesn't occur in biology, except for microevolution. Evolution of the cosmos, time, matter, information, and life itself, does not occur. Biology only takes place *after* life is begun. Evolution is supposed to give rise to all these things magically in direct contradiction to all physical phenomenon. I guess if... and only if... you want to totally deny your senses and logic, you *will* believe evolution. Sorry, can't deny my own mind THAT much that I must give up all rationality just to embrace a philosophy that gives me no real understanding of anything.

"Evolution doesn't occur in biology, except for microevolution."
Microevolution IS evidence for macroevolution. What is increasing complexity if not a series of small changes? Unless you can propose a method by which microevolution is halted, given time microevolution will necessarily result in macroevolution.

The same is true of evolution. Evolution has nothing to do with the origin of life.
If I were you, I'd be pretty embarassed to debate a subject you know nothing about. But that's just me.

Evolution isn't science, it is philosophy.I actually have a degree in Philosophy, and take it from me: the study of evolution isn't philosophy. It is science.

Noone is talking about evolution (in this sense) of 'the cosmos, time, matter, information.' Except you.
Biology only takes place *after* life is begun.
Quite so, and on this planet that was about 4,5 billion years ago.
