There isn't any evidence for Evolution. That's the beauty of the con. When pressed for proof, they tell you science isn't about proofs which leaves us merely "taking their word for it." In the olden days we'd have known this meant - time for a tar and feather party. Today, they think we should just shut up and take it. Are you dumb enough to fall for it - Who are you to require proof.. from them..

Sure there is. You just don't want to see it. I know you've been on threads with Ichneumon's "tip of the iceberg" posts; and there is always PatrickHenry's famous List-O-Links which, BTW, preserve Ichneumon's posts. Now, you can claim there is no evidence for evolution, but you're basically breaking wind in a hurricane.

No it doesn't. It means there is overwhelming evidence (taken in totality) for evolution and none for ID. The "no proof in science" comments mean that science cannot definitively say anything is absolute because every researcher knows that new evidence can always crop that will scrap a current theory. However, as scientific theories go, the evidence in support of evolution is so overwhelming (c.f. the above-listed sources) that scientific confidence in the theory is nearly universal.

True, there were Luddites in the old days, too. Human beings have a tendency to avoid reality when it conflicts with their internal constructs.

Today, they think we should just shut up and take it.

No. You can yabber and rail against reality all you want. That's your business. Trying to impose your delusions on others, however, crosses the line.

The only dumb people are those who swallow the creationist line without doing independent research (and that does not mean reading another creationist site). Of course, the likes of Dr. Dino love these yahoos because they make a fortune bilking them out of their hard-earned money.

Big lie.

Another lie. It's no con, it's well-established science.

When pressed for proof, they tell you science isn't about proofs which leaves us merely "taking their word for it."

Yet another lie. While it's true that science isn't about proof (truly, nothing in the real world is or can be, proofs are only possible in artificial realms like mathematics), that's nowhere near the same as saying that the only alternative is "taking our word for it". There are massive amounts of evidence supporting evolutionary biology, which is the nearest thing to proof there is.

Wow, aren't *you* bitter and obnoxious.

Today, they think we should just shut up and take it.

Yet another lie. What we *do* ask, however, is that you stop lying about it, like you're doing here.

Yawn. Do even you believe this manure?

Sorry sir, theres a ton of evidence for evolution. There isn't evidence for abio-genisis - that is, the first transition of non-living materials into living materials.

Intelligent design is not in any way conflicted with evolution; rather, intelligent design must only compete with abio-genisis, a theory about how the first life form arose.

Evolution has TONS of evidence. Abio-genisis has NO evidence.

A smart proponent of ID could realize that evolution may very well be one of God's many miracles. Trying to fight evolution just results in making the cause of ID look backwards. You might as well try to tell me the sun revolves around the flat Earth, and its always been that way since God made it so 7000 years ago.

If you really believe that, you shouldn't be using a computer because all science is just a lie propogated by the devil in the war for human souls.

Proof is different than evidence. When a jury convicts someone of murder, they never get proof. Proof in that case would require for the entire jury to witness the murder themselves. Video won't even do it. In the case of speciation, which is the idea that is really on trial here, the jury is not still out. Thousands upon thousands of scientists, inquisitive minds that truly do want to poke holes in any theory (which by the way, is too often confused with a hypothesis by laymen) have decided that the evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of speciation.

Did all of these people see humans and chimpanzees descend from a common ancestor? No. That doesn't mean that there isn't evidence enough to convince anyone beyond a reasonable doubt that they did.

See some evidence I posted previously and my brief explanation here.

Apparently you don't know the difference between proof and evidence. All conclusions are drawn from evidence none of which is considered to be 100% proof. This is what we mean when we say science is not about proof but about evidence that gives us a number of data points to work with. We assume that the creationists crying for proof are expecting science to come up with something that can be considered to prove a hypothesis 100%.

This difference of meaning gives you (creationists) something with which to equivocate.

They're onto us! Can exposure of the germ-theory-of-disease-con be far behind? Even the gravity-con is in danger! CAN'T YOU SEE WE CAN'T KEEP THIS UP!! It's insane. You're all mad. I can't be part of this anymore. I'm going public. I'm going to finally TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT EVERYTHING. I'm [...shot rings out.../] dfsajklj;e aa [ijjJ/
