Evolution has “withstood” nothing. It has existed, has hung on, never dying, despite the lack of support in the fossil record and the lack of proof of the whole mess. And the reason for this dogged belief, against all logic, is the refusal to believe in...what did you call them...”creation myths”, I think.

You want me to provide proof of my claim-—are you kidding, LOL? You act as though evolution is fact, settled science, and questioning it is heresy. YOU provide proof-—incontrovertible, settled proof-—that evolution is true. If you do, the secular world will celebrate you; no one has been able to do it yet.

At the risk of being rude, you just wrote two paragraphs of complete falsehoods.

You made the claim that there are many evolutionary scientists doubt the facts of evolution. You suggested a bit of simple research will bear that out. That is a very straightforward and simple claim that you made. I merely asked you to provide me a link or two supporting this assertion. After all, you called it “simple.”

Evolution, on the other hand, is hardly simple. It is massive. Huge. Monumental. And its core tenets form the whole of biology today. So when you challenge me to “provide evidence,” while I’d be happy to do so, it is not like creationism. It cannot be summed up with, “God did it.” So please, be more specific. What species or morphological feature or fossil gives you the most trouble?

Creationists like to play the game of dumping 4,000 random things that they think support their cause, never pausing to realize that each of those 4,000 things has decades, if not centuries, of scientific work to understand the evolution of those things. Things which often occurred over many tens or hundreds of thousands of years.

Like I said, it’s hard. So again, let’s get specific. What’s one of the things off the top of your head that you just simply cannot - or will not - accept is evidence of evolution?

Your unwillingness to accept over-whelming scientific scholarship by denying it’s existence, when something as simple as a google search could provide reading material and evidence for years is not a strong indicator of what is or is not true.

Exactly which theory of evolution are you talking about? =>
