If you cannot bother to post the proof of evolution, I cannot bother to read it. If you cannot find it, I will not look for it for you. The utter arrogance of evolutionists to tell their opponents to prove their theories for them is unbelievable. It is also unbelievably lame.

Eric Voegelin has an interesting take on this (interesting to me at least because I agree with it):

In California now there is a fight between literalists or providentialists, and biological theorists. And you get in the textbooks both Genesis and Darwinian evolutionism as two "theories" of evolution. You see what that really means? The fundamentalist theologians in California (fundamentalism was well established there at the beginning of the century) don't know what a myth is. They believe it is a theory. They're in ignorance.

And the biological theorists don't know that Kant has analysed why one cannot have an immanentist theory of evolution. One can have empirical observation but no general theory of evolution because the sequence of forms is a mystery; it just is there and you cannot explain it by any theory. The world cannot be explained. It is a mythical problem, so you have a strong element of myth in the theory of evolution.

So both the theoretical evolutionists and the fundamentalist theologians are illiterate. That level of illiteracy is taught in the text books as "two theories"—neither one of which is a theory.

Important to note that "myth" does not mean "wrong."

Christians are not limiting what God can do, we are just taking Him at his Word - the Bible.

Biblican inerrantists are funny. Can you tell us more parts the Bible that you believe as the literal truth where they disagrees with fact?

... damn, I didn't know my rabbits chewed cud ...
