$50 to anyone who can prove to me Evolution is a lie.

Zealot, PLease respond to this.Mark------------------
"I can't prove creationism, but they can't prove evolution. It is [also] a religion, so it should not be taught....Christians took over the school board and voted in creationism. That can be done in any school district anywhere, and it ought to be done." Says Kent "consistent" Hovind in "Unmasking the False Religion of Evolution Chapter 6."

Zealot, Yes, on both counts. I agree completely. But all the evidence has to be within the same logical framework. That is; the falsifying evidence has to be 1/ logically valid, & 2/ Actually has to directly contradict the theory.
This is why fossil gaps don't falsify evolution. They aren't evidence at all, any argument based upon them against evolution is an argument from ignorance, because fossils haven't been found, they don't exist.Mark------------------

navajoeverclear, Why?If I said there are 10 oranges in a box, flashed you the box quickly, so that you couldn't count them, would you deny there were any oranges in the box because you couldn't determine that there were ten?Scientific theories are held to be tentative, all of them, that means they are subject to change when new data comes along. The theory of evolution, even macroevolution, is supported by so much evidence it is unlikely that there will be a paradigm revision. Details, even large parts will almost certainly change, however, & common descent is unlikely to be one of those parts. I'll be glad to help.Mark

navajoeverclear, Please do ask those questions!Mark

DavidPryor,A bird that was a mammal? Well, with you wielding such a mighty taxonomic sword as that, I'm bowing out....Or might I suggest you reinvestigate your source to see what it actually says?Mark
