Common descent?
Or common design?
At this point I am simply trying to demonstrate that there are a lot of facts out there. That seems to be denied by 13Sisters76. Once we get over that hurdle we can move on to what a theory is and how it functions in science.
You (P-Marlowe) have been around these threads for a while, so you have a better idea of things, but it seems every once in a while we have to go back to the beginning with newcomers. The "not one fact supporting evolution" comment (repeated in a subsequent post) spurred me to post some of the facts.
I would suggest anyone new to these threads visit PatrickHenry's List-O-Links. There are a lot of link
Organisms evolve. I think that is well established by observable science. However, the inherent ability of an organism to evolve is not explained by Darwinian Theory and there is no proof that the ability of a species to evolve "evolved" without direction.
Darwinian Evolutionary Theory is a legitimate hypothesis to explain the changes within the species. It does not, however, explain the species itself.

There ARE NO FACTS SUPPORTING EVOLUTION..none, nanda, nein, not ONE.
And just for the cheap seats- I am not new to this site. I have been in here off and on for several years now under different names. Being in college- again- eats up my time.
