In post 158, you say "Biologists have to have a means to naturally explain the origin of life. Evolution, as imperfect as it is, does that." In your next post, you state, "It is a scientific theory and thus is either based on some proven fact or it is discarded."

Show me the proven fact (i.e. repeatable experiement) that proves the evolutionary origin of life. Science has yet to create life in a lab. Therefore, the evolutionary origin of life is just as faith based as creation.

He was speaking of the origin of species (at least he should have been). Evolution has nothing to do with the means by which the first life form(s) came into being, so there is no "evolutionary" explanation.

Also, nothing is "proven fact" in science. Everything is theory.

Evolution, being a scientific theory, can be disproven. In its current form it probably will be disproven. You cannot disprove creationism because there is no empirical evidence for it or against it. Creationism takes many forms ranging from fundamentalist christian to deist creationism. There is no evidence at all to support Christian Creationism however there is some evidence to support Deist creationism.

But, put to put it simply. There is absolutely no proof in favor of young earth, biblical creationism. It thus has far less of a place in our schools than evolution. All that needs to be said about evolution is that there is no conclusive for or against. Just because we haven't found transition skeletons doesn't mean they don't exist. That means they may also not exist.

But I am not a biologist. The form of science that I am into should be evident by my username. I will show you evidence for evolution when you can present me with any solid empirical evidence that shows that the God of Abraham created the Earth in 6 days and made adam from dirt.
