Pressie observes:
Your response to my post doesn't make any sense at all.
But seeing the return of good old usenet ASCII Art technique does have a nice nostalgic ring!

About the only thing we could argue that the Theory of Evolution disproves are the poorly remembered and transcribed versions written down in various religious tomes, regarding how we got to the variety of life we see on planet Earth today. It does not falsify any god or gods. Just the stories about them.
One could argue that Abiogenesis, when it is fleshed out, would falsify the main thesis of all these Genesis stories in all religious documents - that God created life.
Astronomy, geology and chemistry falsify other parts of Genesis, like the 6 day nonsense. And the Flood nonsense.
The only thing here that's taking a beating is the loosely organized and politically revised collection of hand-me-down stories repeated by tribal elders. This is no big loss. Who could blame these early elders for coming up with these ideas in the day & age they lived in?
No.
Let's blame the political power structures over the centuries including today, for perpetuating these myths, creating such an environment of Fear to keep the masses under check.

Re: Some more basics on evolution
faceman - you should be schooled by Faith. You are so dense. Spend some huddle time with her so you arent embarrassing yourself so badly.
I dont know what happened to you. Something terrible.
Good luck, dude.
