Pick any you like. Else you will say I picked the weakest.

The second one is pretty cool because it's the one where Darwin said about the absence of certain fossils, "The case at present must remain inexplicable; and may be truly urged as a valid argument against the views here entertained." He was saying that if no one finds these fossils, evolution theory could fall apart.

A hundred years later, after much stumbling, infighting and doubt they were found and verified. The process itself should show you that there isn't the kind of pro-Darwin censorship you are so convinced of (the reason none of the creationist arguments are ever published in a journal). It looked like they were found by a scientist, one who didn't accept evolution either, but then the find was later discredited even though it would have made Darwin's prediction true. This scientist pushed his 'find' for the rest of his life, ignored, despite that it would clear up one of the major perceived problems with evolution theory.

So Darwin was the ancestor of Ms Cleo? He went around making thousands of predictions and when one or two were proven correct he called his theory proven? A few posts back I showed how many things Darwin was incorrect about. Important things at the heart of his theory and his "predictions". The above was a lucky guess and part of the chutzpah of the charlatan that he was. He also predicted that the fossil record would prove evolution and it has not done so after 150 years and 100 times more fossils. Furthermore, the Cambrian explosion with some 20-30 new genera appearing which had never been seen before is a very strong disproof of evolution.
