What you need to do is cut the rhetoric, the sophistry and the misrepresentations. I have asked you for facts supporting the theory of evolution and all you give is a long discussion on the meaning of the word "is" and the meaning of the word "alone". You clearly are being deceitful and trying to cover up the fact that there is absolutely no scientific proof of evolution, none at all. I have told you several times how scientific theories give proof: by experiments, by formulas which can be tested, by applying the theories to everyday problems and many other ways. You continue to fail to give the proofs which other scientific theories certainly do give.

Alright, squeeze your eye tightly shut, put your hands over your ears, and click here.

O.K., now go back to pretending like this never happened.

I love this quote from Dr. Feynman.

"... there are many reasons why you might not understand [an explanation of a scientific theory] ... Finally, there is this possibility: after I tell you something, you just can't believe it. You can't accept it. You don't like it. A little screen comes down and you don't listen anymore. I'm going to describe to you how Nature is - and if you don't like it, that's going to get in the way of your understanding it. It's a problem that [scientists] have learned to deal with: They've learned to realize that whether they like a theory or they don't like a theory is not the essential question. Rather, it is whether or not the theory gives predictions that agree with experiment. It is not a question of whether a theory is philosophically delightful, or easy to understand, or perfectly reasonable from the point of view of common sense. [A scientific theory] describes Nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And it agrees fully with experiment. So I hope you can accept Nature as She is - absurd. I'm going to have fun telling you about this absurdity, because I find it delightful. Please don't turn yourself off because you can't believe Nature is so strange. Just hear me all out, and I hope you'll be as delighted as I am when we're through. "

- Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988), from the introductory lecture on quantum mechanics reproduced in QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter (Feynman 1985).

Aaaah the "29 proofs of macro-evolution"! The 29 proofs which the evolutionists never post even after being asked to show just one through hundreds of posts! The 29 proofs which you have been bashing science for hundreds of posts in order not to give them! But wait, did you not say that there is no proof in science? Did you not say that dozens of times? Were you lying then or are you lying now? Or are you perhaps trying to tell me that evolution is not science by telling me that there is proof of evolution?

Those 29 proofs are no proof at all. I saw a lot of them when they were originally posted on FR over a year ago. Some are proofs of micro-evolution. Some are not proofs at all. All of them are so badly written that all they prove is the awful illiteracy of the author. However, since these seem to be the "Bible" of the evolutionists, I am sure you know it quite well. Pick the strongest of those proofs, post it here for all to see and we will discuss it. Hope I do not have to wait 150 years for the answer!
