Sorry, I keep mixing up EVOLUTION with ABIOGENESIS. But then, so do most people who say they believe in EVOLUTION.

 

And of course, Charles Darwin said that the Australian Aboriginals were NOT AS EVOLVED AS WHITES - so does everyone believe that?

unlike religious faith it is

That's the thing about a scientific theory - unlike religious faith it is open to scrutiny and constantly being tested and refined. When Darwin   first proposed his theory of evolution he was venturing into uncharted territory - the amazing thing is not that one of his conclusions has been proved wrong but that the overwhelming majority have been proved absolutely correct.

And sadly for creationists, every tenet, and I do mean every one, has been thoroughly dispelled and proven incorrect time and again - but the old saying is just so apt with creationists - 'you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink!'

 

Or in the case of creationists, 'you can lead a creationist to evidence, but you can't make him think!'

OK. I have never seen any of these proofs, so please show me some. Just one example.

You know, I'd really like to do just that, but given the penchant for creationists to blindly ignore any evidence that contradicts their preconcieved notions and christian beliefs, I'd be just wasting my time.

 

If you really, and I do mean really, wanted to see proof of evolution, it's not that hard to google it. Try googling 'ring species' for a start.

But then again, THAT would require an open mind - and creationists are known unequivocally for their closed-mindedness.

 

I've had these arguments before in other places, and observed time and again, that evidence against creationism is summarily dismissed by them every time - so futile exercises are not my forte. Also factor in that I'm no scientist, but find accepting the proofs of evolution is far more palatable than a magical skydaddy!

Pot / Kettle - 'Open Mind' - are you telling me you have an open mind and I don't? Sorry, can't believe that.
