I have sought to state that belief in man's evolution from a single cell is not sustainable incotrovertably by the evidence. I have not sought to say it is impossible. As for ID, you can't prove that false or true. Neither can I.

"Sustainable incontrovertably by the evidence" is not possible scientifically. You don't get to make up your own criteria and demand that science comply with them.

No one can prove whether ID false or true. The problem with ID is that there is no possible way to falsify it, which is not the same as proving it false. You do understand the difference?

I can deal with it. Can you?

Easily.

Which is what I have said all along.  You have faith in the theory of a single celled organism developing into a man even though there is no proof.  Thanks.

What it all boils down to is that you have your faith and I have mine.  This is what I have said from the beginning of this thread.

You'd like to be able to weasle your way out of admitting it.  You can't.

Teaching the theory of evolution in the classroom is little more than foisting off a fraud on the nation's youth.  You can't prove it, yet it is taught every single day as fact across this nation.

I can deal with it. Can you? Easily.

Good
