Well, they can fight back, but it's a losing proposition. I guarantee you that every evolutionist will at some point personally see the folly of evolution. I just hope that their realization happens on this side of their breath.

Evolution supported by "testable theories"?
How laughable. These people bend real science beyond recognition to fit their belief in this hooey.

Well put...We have always said the Master will say to them "I never knew you." (Since they say, I never knew the Master.)

Folly?
dust hanging around, packs itself into a dot, BOOM - it expands, a planet just happens to appear at just the right spot from the sun, somehow there was mud, the mud slowly came to life, this life continued to change, and wala - we're here!
And you call that folly, - That's science! (/sarcasm)
To: PatrickHenry
testable theories about the origins and evolution of life on Earth are being concealed
Let's see ... the scientific method demands that something be called "testable" when it is repeatable and measurable.
Exactly which evolution of one species to another has been repeated, much less measured?
To: PatrickHenry
>>>origins of life on Earth.>>>
Which is still a THEORY.

Condemnation of evolution supporters to damnation by post #3. That must be close to a record.
And that 'guarantee' you speak of...by what authority do you 'guarantee'? You really have no idea what you are talking about, do you?
You just wanted to jump up on your soap box and condemn passers by, didn't you?

LOL
Yes, this subject does get folks riled up. I'm handicapped by having worked and played in technical fields my whole life. I can't see electricity but I can prove in many ways that it exists. The whole concept of provability prevents me from being able to blindly accept celestial magic and the Poof Theory about how the whole universe got here 6000 years ago. I feel that people should be free for believing or not believing without being condemned and chastised. I believe in investigation and research arriving at the best possible explanation for anything, and if a theory is *proven* to be wrong, then set it aside and try again. It's a perpetual process of refinement and reaffirmation of known facts and the exploration of new data and theories. It's a process far from perfect and far from complete, but IMHO it beats the Poof Theory by a very wide margin.

A variation of this is called "intelligent design" which acknowledges evolution but claims that genetic mutations are guided by God's hand rather than by Charles Darwin's process of natural selection. This is the official face of ID. Actually, most of the ID advocates on the Internet do not accept evolution and are exceedingly cagey on questions of what they do believe. Far and away most of THEM seem to be evangelicals, oddly enough.

True, but I think it is more like when you tell a joke in front of a crowd; you get laughs.

Remember: The purpose of Creationism/IDism is to destroy and discredit this very website, the Conservative Movement and ultimately Western Civilization.

And, on the other hand, we have some mysterious magical, supernatural entity that speaks or waves its hand and everything magically appears. Or, maybe it's turtles, or a coyote, or a crow. Yes, that's far more believable.

True, very true.
I retract my sarcasm (believe it or not it was tossed out with good natured intent). It just caught me at a weak moment.
This is a topic that causes very heated discussion between good people that quickly degrades into childish name calling, etc. I do apologize for my part in setting the wrong tone.
