And here I ignorantly thought that since there hasn’t been scientific debate about the fact of evolution for 160 years that even Free Republic had caught up.

I guess not.

“...fact of evolution...”

There’s your problem, right there.

And here I ignorantly thought ...

Ignorant thought is what is expected of those that espouse evolutionary dogma.

So glad to see you acknowledge the ignorance of your thought processes right up front and with your first posting to this thread.

... the fact of evolution ...

... a "fact," which you simply do not have, and no evolutionist who was ever acquainted even casually with the scientific method would ever claim as fact. Chalk that up to yet one more ignorant posting form you.

... Free Republic had caught up.

More correctly, FreeRepublic has caught on to the posers, and continues to distinguish itself apart from the Darwin Central retreads such as yourself, "Paradox," "tactalogic," et. al, who try to impress readers with conservatism they parrot for convenience, but in reality is something quite foreign to their collective world-view.

And therein lies your problem. You think that the ToE has remained unchallenged for 160 years.

It has not and your failure to recognize or acknowledge it IS due to ignorance.
