"I made a valid point, but it was lost on you."

Generally a valid point would have some grounding in reality. In your case you chose to ignore the billions of dollars that have been spent in research in numerous fields that substantiate the ToE.

Now compare that to the research produced and published by YECists OECists and IDiots combined for a grand total of...?

"The theory of evolution (is) a theory universally..."

A seventy year old quote? A quote from before 95% of the evidence available today event existed? That is your argument?

Also true to form your quote is out of context. Lets look at another snippet of that article.

"The only great generalization which has so far come from zoological studies is that of evolution….

Evolution itself is accepted by zoologists not because it has been observed to occur or is supported by logically coherent arguments, but because it does fit all the facts of taxonomy, of palæontology, and geographical distribution, and because no alternative explanation is credible.

Whilst the fact of evolution is accepted by every biologist, the mode in which it has occurred and the mechanism by which it has been brought about are still disputable…."

Then let’s fast-forward through time...How’s this for starting with the conclusion?:

“In 2005 online magazine ‘Edge The World Question Centre’ posed the following question to a number of scientific intellectuals: ‘What do you believe is true even though you cannot prove it?’ Dawkins revealingly answered: ‘I believe that all life, all intelligence, all creativity and all ‘design’ anywhere in the universe, is the direct or indirect product of Darwinian natural selection.’”
