So then, the THEORY (religion) of evolution (all faith based since no scientific facts have been unearthed to support it) should be taught in "religion class"?

Please stop right there before you embarrass yourself.

Again, another with strong opinions but no foundation. What evidence do you believe has been unearthed and what do you believe is necessary? Do you believe that *only* paleontological evidence is considered by scientists and/or that *only* paleontological evidence should be accepted as evidence?

The theory of evolution is a part of science.

No facts? That's a flat out [misstatement], and you should know better. The following is just one example of a fact that supports the theory of evolution. If you want to see more, just let me know.

This is also a transitional. Note its position in the chart which follows (hint--in the upper center):

---

Fossil: KNM-ER 3733

Site: Koobi Fora (Upper KBS tuff, area 104), Lake Turkana, Kenya (4, 1)

Discovered By: B. Ngeneo, 1975 (1)

Estimated Age of Fossil: 1.75 mya * determined by Stratigraphic, faunal, paleomagnetic & radiometric data (1, 4)

Species Name: Homo ergaster (1, 7, 8), Homo erectus (3, 4, 7), Homo erectus ergaster (25)

Gender: Female (species presumed to be sexually dimorphic) (1, 8)

Cranial Capacity: 850 cc (1, 3, 4)

Information: Tools found in same layer (8, 9). Found with KNM-ER 406 A. boisei (effectively eliminating single species hypothesis) (1)

Interpretation: Adult (based on cranial sutures, molar eruption and dental wear) (1)

NONE, eh? Can you please explain to me how these facts (just for instance) are not evidence of evolution?

To summarize the link: some of the main evidence that (the single) human chromosome 2 is a fusion of (the separate) chromosomes 2p and 2q as found in chimpanzees and other apes.

For example remains of telomeres (specialized sequences at the ends of chromosomes) are found in the middle of human chromosome 2 exactly were they would have to be if ape chromosomes 2p and 2q had fused, and with sequences details that uniquely match a head-to-head telomere fusion. Furthermore the working centromere (a crucial structure which allows the chromosomes to be properly sorted during cell division) on human chromosome 2 is in the same place as the centromere on chimpanzee chromosome 2p AND there is a centromere remnant in human chromosome 2 in the same place as the working centromere on chimpanzee chromosome 2q. The detailed banding pattern of human chromosome 2 matches that of chimpanzee chromosomes 2p and 2q laid end to end. Etc.
