The theory is a hypothesis with no evidence. It is not science. It is fiction.

Sorry, that is not the case.

I happen to know something about it; I spent six years in grad school and half of that time was spent studying evolution, human races, osteology, primatology and a lot of closely related subjects. I have actually handled most of the important fossils (as casts), and studied many of the rest from the original journal articles. That is evidence I was dealing with. Since then the field of genetics has added a lot more confirming evidence.

For you to claim that this field is not science but fiction says a great deal about your knowledge of the field, or more likely about your a priori beliefs, than it does about the theory of evolution.


Belief gets in the way of learning.
