Let's see, on one hand we have a mountain of fossil evidence going back nearly 6 million years...

That is an interesting claim. A mountain of fossil evidence?

Check out This post and explain to me why a published environmentalist would say transitional fossils haven't been found because they don't exist?

So which is it? Is there a mountain of fossil evidence or is there none?

An insurmountable problem for evolutionists is that most of them recognize different significant problems with their 'theories', yet their explanations must necessarily imply that other 'theories of evolution' must be wrong. the disagreements within the environmentalist community is so vast, how can anyone honestly claim that evolution is a fact?

Just how many different theories of evolution are there?

The Theory of Evolution is a theory. (Disagreements are over small details, nothing for creationists to get excited about.)

Just one, and its a real good one too.

From an NSF abstract:

Those who oppose the teaching of evolution often say that evolution should be taught as a "theory, not as a fact." This statement confuses the common use of these words with the scientific use. In science, theories do not turn into facts through the accumulation of evidence. Rather, theories are the end points of science. They are understandings that develop from extensive observation, experimentation, and creative reflection. They incorporate a large body of scientific facts, laws, tested hypotheses, and logical inferences. In this sense, evolution is one of the strongest and most useful scientific theories we have.

You know, you could've linked to the site directly rather than to one of your posts with the link embedded. Note, an evironmentalist is not a biologist or a paleontologist. Should I go to a lawyer for my medical checkups?

Please name a few of the "insurmountable problems" evolution has. You'll probably find they don't exist, having arisen from creationists' ignorance of biology in general and the theory in particular.
