"You creationists crack me up : )"

You philosophical naturalists crack me up :-)

" The evidence that you are trying to use to disprove evolution, falsifies creation."

The evidence itself neither proves nor disproves anything. It is the interpretation of evidence through a preferred philosophical paradigm and logical fallacy that leads you to believe you are looking at 'proof' or 'falsification'. There are only philosophical positions, not empirical ones.

"Isn't cognitive dissonance a wonderful thing : )"

Apparently... :-)

You are half right. Evidence can't prove anything, but it can certainly disprove a theory.

I know you would certainly like to believe that wouldn't you? Tell you what, go jump off a tall building then report back to me with your evidence or falsification of gravity. If you didn't fall then you have disproved Gravity, if you do fall you have evidence supporting the theory.

Good luck. Oh and the taller the building the better : )
