Evolution has been a theory in crisis for 150 years. Its demise is emminant, just as it has been for each of those years.

Pay no attention to physics, chemistry, astronomy, paleontology, geology. They are all pseudosciences.

One aspect of evolution that has received a bit of confirmation is the age of the earth. Darwin was the first to assert that the earth was at least several hundred milion years old. At the time he made this assertion, physics pegged the maximum possible age of the sun at about 50 million years.

But that was before the discovery of radioactivity.

Have you ever seen radioactivity? You sure it's not a conspiracy concocted by the entire scientific community to shore up Darwin???

Not only that, but it's going to happen real soon now -RSN.

James Hutton had the idea earlier.

True, the earth must be old for Evolution to be true, BUT,
the fact that the earth is old does not mean that Evolution is true. I believe this is called a necessary, but not sufficient condition. Nice try.
