There isn't any evidence for Evolution.

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.

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."

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.

In the olden days we'd have known this meant - time for a tar and feather party.

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.

Are you dumb enough to fall for it - Who are you to require proof.. from them..

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.

Thanks. That is well said. It always embarrasses me a little that conversatives would allign themselves with these yahoos. Or is it the other way around?

Thank You. I was beginning to think most FReepers were...head-in-the-sand types regarding the origin of life. Sure, there's God behind it but God doesn't think the way people do . That's why God's work is such a mystery to people who think as people.
Life happens because it can, not because it's supposed to.
