I wasn’t yellin, but stressing key points-

When an evolutionist looks at hte evidence, he does so with an a priori belief that it will lead to support of evolution- The evidence doesn’t TELL a person what happened, they simply take the eivdnece and SUGGEST what MIGHT have happened- in other words, they HYPOTHESISE in order to support their position on the matter. As well, they will take the eivdence and PREDICT, and when predictions are shown to be true by the evidnece which is later discovered, they INTERPRET that as supporting their HYPOTHESIS.

However, these very same predictions ALSO support ID and DESIGN, which, the design HYPOTHESIS can not be simply dismissed in light of this. This will of course never be admitted by the evo side who demands that all interpretations be favorable to ONLY the evolution HYPOTHESIS, and they will go to great lengths to deride anyone that points out that the eivdneces can ALSO have a very valid Intelligent Design inference- there IS definately an A Priori bias at work here.

No- God idn’t deceive or plant wrong evidnece- He DID however give each one of us hte free will to choose which we interpretation of the evidences we will believe

WRONG. Modern evolutionary theory took shape over a period of hundreds of years of empirical observations of the natural world. Darwin really kicked it off in his “On the Origin of Species” book. Do you understand the Scientific method? Any theory must be supported by evidence (data) - and is published for peer-review. All the other scientists read it and try to DISPROVE it. When they cannot find empirical evidence to disprove the theory - it becomes a stronger theory or a LAW - like the LAWS of Thermodynamics. The reason evolution is still a theory (albeit nearly a Law) is because it simply is not complete yet. When we have dug up the last fossil, and dispelled the last, tiniest doubt that may exist, and the theory is entirely complete, it will become Law. You don’t need to assemble an entire puzzle to figure out what it is a picture of, the sailboat, or tree or house will become apparent long before all the “evidence”, in the form of the remaining as-yet-to-be-added pieces, are inserted. This is a good analogy of where we find ourselves with the Theory of Evolution today
