"Ask PatrickHenry for a list."

The guy who believes evolution is the only science in the world?

Both extremes on this debate are absurd. On one you got the people who call anyone who believes in evolution "an atheist," "an agnostic" or "someone who doesn't like God." Also the people who believe that evolution has no evidence or choose to ignore it.

Then you got your people who act like evolution is the only science there is. Also believe or choose to ignore that there is evidence against evolution.

Is this debate every going to evolve?

There are lots of different branches of Science. But ID isn't one of them

Scientists discuss the shortcomings of evolution all the time.

ID, however, is not science.

Evolution theory has no scientific challengers. Those who challenge it do not resort to science. Therefore a debate between science and non-science is foolhadry because the two sides use entirely different epistolmologies and also that science deliberately avoids topics dealing with the supernatural.

Gee, I'm not aware of that evidence. Please tell me what that evidence is.

PatrickHenry has never indicated such a belief. How can we take you seriously when you deliberately misstate the beliefs and views of others?

Who has said this? References to actual quotes please. Evolution is a very large field of study in the science of biology, but it's hardly the only science out there. There's also cosmology, quantum physics, chemistry, etc.

Just a point. There is, so far, no evidence against the ToE. In some areas there are lines of evidence that are incomplete and other ares where our understanding is incomplete but, contrary to what the anti-evolutionists want, no evidence 'against' it.
