It's in the fossils, it's in the DNA, it's in the plants and animals around you, the evidence is right there to be seen by you and others, if they look. It is called scientific investigation.

It has nothing to do with religion, it has nothing to do with faith, it has nothing to do with believing.

Anyone would come to the conclusion all by themselves if the evidence was laid out in front of them, and it's there to be layed out, it's everywhere, you just have to want to see it.

But if you did, then the group that you're a part of would send you away as an outcast, call you a sinner, tell you that you had been tricked by the devil, tell you that you're an atheist if they really get mean enough.

That my friend is groupthink, and you are the one suffering from it, not those of us who understand that evolution indeed has the scientific evidence to back it, those of us that understand what science truly is.

The textbook may say that evolution is the best scientific theory to explain the evidence, but it says nothing about it being a fact, that's your groupthink talking, not the evidence.

I have yet to see any scietific textbook that says evolution is a fact. Where's the evidence? Because I haven't seen any.

"it's everywhere, you just have to want to see it. "

Does it really tell you what you think it tells you?

But if you question it, then the group that you're a part of would send you away as an outcast, call you a religious person, tell you that you had been tricked by the preacher, tell you that you're superstitious if they really get mean enough.

In 1974 I heard Stephen P. Hubbell state in front of an audience that "...evolution is the single most thoroughly documented fact known to man." Given what we have learned since then his statement is probably still true. The theorists are still behind the research curve.
