If not, what specific evidences were discussed during the recent meetings that you feel is most strongly in favor of evolution, or against creationism? Please briefly list three or four, and let's look at them.

I have offered specific scientific evidence many many times on FR in response to specific questions. I have decided not to do so any longer.

Creationist/IDers do not BELIEVE in evidence. Before you help them accept evolution, you have to teach them what evidence is. The fact that they firmly believe in an alternative theory based on zero evidence is my proof.

Had you gone to the link I provided, you would have found symposia on specific research done by PhDs Like "Species Trees and Gene Tree Heterogeneity: Concepts, Estimation and Empirical Applications"; "Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Life History Evolution"; "The Evolution of Recombination Rates: From Hotspots to Whole Genomes".

These are serious people doing serious research. They believe in science, you believe in magic. I don't even mind that you believe in magic. I mind that you insult these scientist by trying to place your magic on the same level as their life-long pursuit of truth.

I will provide you with whatever evidence supporting my viewpoint if you will provide me with scientific ecidence FOR creation, not just nitpicking evolution.

Funny, you seem to forget that a distinctive role of science is the falsification of incorrect theories. This is what criticism of evolution does. Why do you want to make evolution immune from criticism, thereby taking evolution out of the realm of scientific investigation?
