It would look pretty foolish to deny that the Earth goes round the sun or that a parent's genes are the source of the child's.

Would it? Have you tested every child to prove that each of the parents contributed exactly one half of the genetic makeup for the child in that particular case? Why not? And yet aren't you demanding the same standard of proof for the theory of evolution? I reference, for one, your demands on instances of speciation.

And what of the earth? Aren't you just taking the word of some so-called scientists that the earth goes around the sun? The question is, why? What evidence have you been offered that has convinced you that the earth does in fact go around the sun? Have you been shown proof? Have you even been shown any evidence? Or are you just taking the word of some more so-called scientists about it?

You may claim that I'm just playing semantic games, and not without some justification, I might add, but no more or less than you.

I have not, but scientists have been doing just that in numerous ways and have so proven it. What alternative do you have anyway? That God creates some new genes for each person? I'd agree to that one.

BTW - the question is not why I believe the above, the question is whether it has been scientifically proven or not. The discussion arose on whether science proves anything. I would say that you have not denied the examples so you must agree that they have been proven. Oh and BTW - the above has been OBSERVED and TESTED in dozens if not hundreds of different ways.

Not bad.
