Is there a reason why you are upset about this?

Upset?

All of your responses have to do with the lunacy of the theories competing with evolution. I have not pushed a competing theory. I am troubled by the historical (and current) tactics and dishonesty of the defenders of evolution. There is NO requirement that there be a competing theory. I question evolution because its supporters are fighting so hard to keep it from being questioned.

I question your sincerity since you only question the sincerity of the supporters of evolution. Did it ever occur to you to do some real research and find out why evolution has such strong support in the scientific community?

I am troubled by your tactics and dishonesty. If anyone is dishonest it is those supporting the "competing theory" concept based on religion and ID. Those are the agenda based radical fanatics.

The theory of evolution is now, and has been since it was introduced, challenged almost entirely on religious grounds.

Scientists are working out the differences in interpretation involved in calling a specimen, such as KNM-ER 3733 for example, Homo ergaster, Homo erectus, or Homo erectus ergaster.

Creationists are still at the stage of yelling, "Its just a theory. Teach the controversy." Not very productive. And not much to take seriously.

Re 218: I question evolution because its supporters are fighting so hard to keep it from being questioned.

LOL. Just whom do you think you are fooling?

Consider: "I question doctors because they all use X-rays when a kid comes in with a possibly broken arm. Doctors and their humanistic supporters are fighting hard to prevent X-rays from being removed from their clinics as the Church of N-rays urges."

"The questioning of X-rays is a deeply held faith", say faith believers. "There is not a single mention of X-rays in either the Qu'ran or the Bible; if Allah or God wanted us to see X-rays, He would make our eyes able to see with X-ray vision." The only true vision is via N-rays. Neither Jesus nor Mohammed nor Buddha predicted X-rays, but some "scientific elites" still claim that they exist. This is a 'theory' without any foundation.

Modern medicine is largely based on comparative experiments on humans and animals which track evidence impirically [sic] and develop charts and trends. Evolution is not permitted to be compared to anything without garnering snide tin foil hat comments.

Hmm. I suspect this is inaccurate. Tin, Sn, is atomic number 50. Heavier than iron Fe at 26, but much less than lead PB at 82. Usually the foil hat types use Aluminium, only 13. Al is much cheaper and easier to get than tin, which is expensive and not in supermarkets. X-rays also differ in their energy, usually measured in keVs.

It is hard to keep track of all the faith denominations and sectarian differences about tin, aluminium, lead, and the like. Teach the controversy. Some say only tin is effective, some say aluminum. So many schisms. Satan is devious, so baptism is probably the only answer. Personally, I prefer MRI, based on Scripture.

There is no need to push a competing theory. I am aware of the historical (and current) tactics and dishonesty of the defenders of evolution. There is NO requirement that there be a competing theory.

I question evolution on its own merits first and second because its supporters are fighting so hard to keep it from being questioned.
