You're right, an experiment can be shown that in no way relates to evolution or would prove all of evolution, but scientists can't even do this much and you want me to accept it as settled science?

I'll type slower ... THEORIES ... CANNOT ... BE .. PROVEN. Not the theory of relativity, not the theory of gravity, not any theory. We can make the best theories we can based upon evidence, but we cannot ever say we've "solved" anything completely ... all an experiment can do is NOT disprove a theory. And we can run more an more experiments testing more an more parts of a theory to see if it holds.

So let me get this straight, now you say it is not fact.

I have never said the theory of evolution is a fact. Where does this "now" come from. But, yes, now you finally understand what I was saying. Perhaps you would like to revise your arguments?

Then if it is not fact, what is it?

A theory. By the way, Who's on first?

Is it speculation based on observations? I can speculate that God exists simply because the odds are astronomical that the earth would be placed at a perfect distance from the sun, neither freezing or frying all human life.

Fabulous. You would be disproving any theories that you understood statistics properly, but go ahead. While you are at it, draw a random card from a deck of cards. Put it back. Repeat 99 more times. The odds of you drawing the cards you would draw would have been 1 in 52100, so you must not have done it ...

I have provided both statistical evidence and my supposition, so can I claim "the theory of God's existence" should be taught in school?

You have provided no such evidence, although you claim the ability to do so. Besides, science doesn't quibble much with the odds of something not happening if evidence points to it defying odds and actually happening. Improbability is not impossibility.

Ok, so let me get this straight. You find a few hundred bones over what you claim are millions of years and notice a few common genes and all of sudden, based on statistical probabilties we were once apes. Yeah, and I thought my theory was bad. The fact is evolution has never offered any incontrovertible evidence that man descended from ape, but yet you seem to believe it as settled science. You might want to take a big smell of that crap you are shoveling.
