For YOUR case of deliberate ignorance I suggest Johnson's "Darwin on Trial", Behr's "Darwin's Black Box" or if books frighten you, any number of websites will serve and quite a few of them dedicated to science- NOT religion.
"A plethora of facts" you say? Produce ONE- just ONE that DOESN't demand we accept adaptation- such as that practiced by dog breeders and cattle ranchers- as your "proof". You cannot.
A bit of honesty on the part of you folks would be refreshing, don't you think?

I suggest Johnson's "Darwin on Trial",

Philip E. Johnson is a trial lawyer with absolutely no expertise or experience in the field of biology and his work shows this. His book is a collection of ignorance amassed against evolution rather than actual logical arguments against the theory.

Behr's "Darwin's Black Box"

You are aware that Behe accepts evolution and common descent, right? I mean, if you'd actually studied Behe's works you would know this.

"A plethora of facts" you say? Produce ONE- just ONE that DOESN't demand we accept adaptation- such as that practiced by dog breeders and cattle ranchers- as your "proof". You cannot.

The "facts" that I reference are what lead to the conclusion of evolution. There's the "FACT" of a broken Vitamin C identical in multiple species of primates, suggesting that the gene became "broken" in a common ancestor that split off into the various primate species that carry the gene (including homo sapiens); for contrast, guinea pigs also have a broken vitamin C synthesis gene that is completely different than the one found in primates. There's the "FACT" of the extensive fossil record. Despite what creationists will dishonestly state, the fossil record leads to the CONCLUSION of descent with modification (because of the variance in fossil types found at varying layers, the abscence of any existing life forms matching those found in the fossil record and the abscence of any fossilized remains of species of existing life forms). Are you looking for anything specific, or are you just here to trash evolution in general without regard to the information used to support it?
