One must reject what simply does not work, irrespective of whether or not a better explanation is extant at that time.
But until a better explanation is available, the current one does work.

Really?
Yes.
Please provide the evolutionary biochemical pathway for the development of the human blood clotting mechanism.
Here's an article on it.
Then show the evolutionary diagram from our nearest invertebrate ancestor to Homo sapiens, and label each and every branch by genus and species.
Yeah, sure, let me show you millions of species. That's not how science works. Show me every second of every minute of every hour of your life from your conecption up until this point or I won't believe you exist.

You may CLAIM that evolution "does work" until Darwin comes home.
That does not make it so.
No the fact that it does work, makes it so. Also, you denying it works doesn't suddenly make it stop working.
It "works" because millions of people have their lives and reputations heavily invested in it, and they continue to promote it at the tops of their lungs.
Sure, we're all part of a big conspiracy. We are also all billionaires, you know.
Nobody says "Gravity is as firm a theory as evolution."
Only the reverse pretense is parroted endlessly.
Gravity is a s firm a theory as evolution. You know why people say it in reverse? Because everybody (well, almost everybody) accepts gravity. So it is easier to say that "evolution is as firm a theory as gravity" when talking to someone who doesn't accept evolution but does accept gravity. Were I'm talking to someone who denied gravity yet accepts evolution I would say "gravity is as firm a theory as evolution". There, I've said it twice now.

Shh! You'll confuse the poor boy even more!
I know evolution is better understood than gravity, I just wanted to test him.
Now you've ruined it!

I doubt that Buzsaw or ICANT would agree that they are leftists.
Nor would Coyote or me, I'd wager. Then again, looking at it from any other point but the USA's, both democrats and republicans are "right" parties.
