“Preponderance of evidence for evolution?”
Yes. Volumes upon volumes upon, you get the idea.
“Seriously?”
Yes
“Nothing in the fossil record supports the crackpot theory.”
Patently, demonstrably false.
“Some people claim to believe in evolution because they want to appear intellectual; they don’t want to be seen as toothless inbreds who go to Nascar races. Others believe it because they haven’t investigated it and discovered that it’s a failed theory, a secular cult.”
Some people once claimed to believe that the flat Earth was the center of universe with the sun revolving around it. Whatever motivates some imaginary person to ‘believe’ the way they do has no bearing on what is actually true.
“And some cling to it for reasons like your own, which you’ve stated elsewhere. So I understand your unwillingness to budge on the subject.”
Cling is a loaded word. Implies an emotional attachment of some sort, which I’ve never personally felt to the subject, or any that I can recall.
“Evolution MUST be true, or some uncomfortable truths must be faced.”
Comfort also has nothing to do with what is true.
Yes, the old flat earth accusations....question the crackpot theory, and inevitably that one comes up.
Tiresome.
