Yes I do. Do you guys? I bet no

You'd bet wrong.  I am swayed by evidence.
The scientific method, you know.  Critical
judgement.  Testability, prediction of results.
That's the wellspring of the theory of evolution.
Swallowing superstition whole, unexamined,
and out of fear is quite the opposite.

Testability? You dare speak of testability? Evolution isn't testable. Try again.
I bet wrong? Hardly. Hav eyou bothered truly looking at all evidence. Or have you forgotten the hoaxes brought upon the world by Dr. Eugene DuBois? Java man.. constructed from widely scattered bones... all of different ages. Lucy. What a nice example of postulating a whole society and behaviour from a skeleton that isn't complete. Same with everything else. "This creature behaved this way. How do we know? Look at the teeth!" Never mind that a panda eats bamboo. this makes judging behaviour from teeth rather.. um. Suspect.

Let's not forget that depending on who does the reconstruction, the reconstructionists' bias comes through. There is plenty more. Like: Cro Magnon man had a skull capacity and bone strength far superior to man of today, yet he is described as inferior when he was physically superior in every way. If this shows anything(and evolution was true) it shows that man has DEGENERATED instead. Oh, gee. I forgot. He was judged to be evolutionarily insignificant.
