There is no proof.

There is more than enough proof. I don't want to go around and around with you. Your opinion is biased and you refuse to take any actual facts into account that don't support it.

We are not about facts here, we are about belief.

And therein lies the problem. You are, admittedly, about belief and you are trying to project your standards onto others. It's not working. I have seen experiments, fossil finds, studies, papers and live examples that demonstrate evolution to me clearly.

I am not alone in this. 99% of the scientific community stands with me.

You don't seem to grasp that you are forced to start with a warm pond, presumably sterile since there would be no microorganisms yet, spark actual self sustaining life, and process through to an amazing diversity of different life, plant, insect and mammal[...]

I omitted the last part of that diatribe because it only serves to expose more of your ignorance.

I do, however, understand what you put forth quite clearly. From a sterile pond full of basic elements (or a damp clay infused with these elements or whatever theory you follow) it is quite provable that amino acids and other building blocks of life will arise. It is no stretch at all to see those chemicals begin to replicate. Once that happens it is easy to understand that they will end up "competing" in a way for the essential elements that make them up. It is also easy to see that the replication will have the potential for errors, some beneficial, most destructive. That's all you need.

Have we repeated this experimentally? Not on the whole, no, but we have part by part. It took millions of years for it to happen naturally so I think we're doing pretty good.

No, you don't have close to enough evidence to support a hypothesis.

You're quite right. I have an overwhelming amount of evidence. You are just blind to it, by choice or otherwise.

Do us both a favor and spare our free time if you aren't willing to bring even a single fact to support your assertion to a subsequent post.
