Allow me to beat them to the punch...

I’ve done some thinking over the past few minutes... the conclusion I’ve come to is that my point of view has been wrong all this time. Even though I didn’t bother to read the post, I feel that you should know all of the references are blatantly incorrect and there is no truth in the claim that this has any direct or indirect impact on the true, factual, indisputable theory (in the scientific sense) of evolution. Anyone who believes this post does anything more than PROVE beyond the shadow of a doubt the earth is trillions of eons old, is a moronic, creationist, nincompoop without a shred of original thought.

SHAME ON YOU, MR. GODGUNSGUTS FOR SPREADING YOUR EVIL PROPOGANDA... SHHAAAMMEE ON YOU!!!!!!

I feel better now.

I am sure all the Evos thank you for verbalizing their thought process and faith commitments for them. That way they can keep pouring milk over the darwin idols without interruption!

I appreciate your humor. But it points to a problem in the popular imagination that scientists rarely try to correct. You said, "the true, factual, indisputable theory (in the scientific sense)". In science, theories are not facts. Theories are theories. Scientists do gather facts in an attempt to support a particular theory. But those facts do not prove the theory. They only support the theory to varying degrees.

In other words, theories are not dogmas. A theory can be replaced if a better theory comes a long. But dogmas can never be replaced because dogmas are always true, at least for those who believe they are true.

If scientists did a better job of explaining what their theories represent, we would have better science. But scientists do a lousy job of explaining the proper role of theory. They treat it like dogma, and then let the general public view it the same way. This causes a great deal of misunderstand among all parties to the arguments about evolution.

Oh my, your intellectual arguments are so convincing. You just bowl me over with all of your facts.
