Well, some people have faith in God, some people have faith that a series of mutations (nature's 'miscalculations') kept happening until something good came of it. Then that something good had to wait around until another something good came from more mutations, and so on and so on.

Belief in either is a choice, because neither position is supported by incontrovertible proof.

By the way, I've always wondered - if evolution is supposedly true, why don't we have more 'varieties' of humans, e.g. some with arms that reach nearly to their ankles, some with only one eye in the middle of their forehead and so on. Strange we don't find bones and fossils of such things either.

See, I think creationists like MEGoody who post stuff like this are well meaning and would be willing to learn some new things. That's why I don't demean posts like this. Gore3K, however, knowingly posts lies and twists words of others to further his cause.

Instead of explaining to you why we don't have oddly armed humans, or 3 eyed folk running around (let alone fossils of these anomalies), I'd like to ask you if you are truly curious, or just trolling.

There isn't any incontrovertible proof for anything, since no matter what you think you know, you could, for instance, be mistinterpreting or hallucinating. So your standard proves too much.

Is there any evidence at all for creationism? Not really. Not any that obviously explains away the fossil record. The fossil record, on the other hand, is evidence for evolution.

So yes, there is quite a difference in the amount of evidence in favor of one explanation, and that same evidence is an unexplained mystery in the other explanation.

How many more varieties would be required to make evolution true?
