["While we respect Prof. Behe's right to express his views, they are his alone and are in no way endorsed by the department. It is our collective position that intelligent design has no basis in science, has not been tested experimentally, and should not be regarded as scientific."]

Could someone help me out here? What experimental testing has proven evolution?

Note that they didn't say "proven". Nothing in science is ever "proven". Science does not deal in proofs, for the simple reason that outside of artificial self-contained realms like mathematics, there is no such thing as "proof" in the real world.

I am aware of experiments with fruit flies, etc. but as I understand it this just yeilds the same old micro/macro debate (round and round we go... when we stop flaming nobody knows). Any additional info? Thanks

Here's my infamous Tip-of-the-Iceberg Evidence of Evolution post... One note before you dive into it -- I've since realized that the "table of contents" near the start of that post may look as if it indexes the rest of the material in the post -- it doesn't, it's an index-by-category to many external links which outline individual lines of evidence supporting evolution, each of which contains many links and research citations which can be followed for even more information.

Thanks again Ichneumon. I just read the intro and scrolled through index and text. This is exactly what I was looking for.
