"I especially liked the part where he wanted to know why he should believe mountains of evidence." Like what? Name one shred of actual "evidence" for Evolution. Just one. Any one. Please.

Ask Joe Farah. It’s his article and his acknowledgement of mountains of evidence.

Like what? Name one shred of actual "evidence" for Evolution. Just one. Any one. Please. OK here goes. If you get flu shots, you know that you have to get a new one every year. Why? Because new strains of the virus evolve so rapidly that revaccination with reformulated vaccine is necessary.
The world was recently focused on the story of the man with extremely drug-resistant TB. Drug-resistant strains of bacteria are another example of evolution in action. Strains with mutations that confer resistance to available drugs flourish. If, by contrast, you found that disease-causing microorganisms became more sensitive to drugs that kill them over time, that would be contrary to the concept of natural selection and call the theory into question.
To the best of my knowledge, this has never happened. But contrary to what is claimed, it would get no shortage of attention if it did.

Name one shred of actual "evidence" for Evolution. Just one. Any one. Please. I already met your challenge to "name 1" bit of evidence for evolution. Apparently you just waved it away. OK, here is some more evidence.
