"It's hard to debate with someone who doesn't even understand the true definition of science."
I know, believe me, I KNOW. :)
"Please open your mind just a little and check out webster's dictionary. It includes alot more than just the natural world."
Science is not capable of examining the supernatural/*non-natural* world. Never has been, never will be. You can not name one area of science that does. Physics? nope. Biology? nope. ALL are confined to the natural world. That is why they are called the NATURAL sciences.
"And if the fossils showed true transitionals slowly transforming the debate would have been over long ago."
They do show just that, and the debate has been long over among scientists. Combined with the DNA evidence, their is no question that common descent is true.
"But as alot of scientists who once believed in evolution have discovered, that's just not the case."
Their numbers are shrinking, not growing. 99%+ of biologists accept evolution. It is not a scientific controversy, and hasn't been for well over a century. It's a religious controversy between different denominations. The *controversy* has nothing to do with science.

I suppose someone has the answer and I'd like to hear it as I'm confused by this argument over creation and evolution. If Genesis is right, how did people manage to spread across the world if Adam & Eve had no daughters?

Science in Merriam Websters dictionary; " a department of systemized knowledge as an object of study, (the science of theology).
"knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method"
Of course that includes a wide varied of subjects. And there are many very reputable creation scientists that would differ with your charcterization of the toe debate being over. They are no less qualified than any other scientist.
