: : Apparently there are several theists who have NOT changed, in spite of the overwhelming evidence in support of evolution.
: I haven't seen any overwhelming evidence in support of evolution. Unless of course your so biased as to be looking through tinted glasses. In fact, there seems to be a consensus among most educated people that there will never be conclusive scientific proof of anything except constant disagreement in regard to the origin of life. But if you can state otherwise, I'd love to hear it.
Link to www.talkorigins.org. The idea that evolution has occurred is accepted by the scientific community as FACT. It is the details of the mechanisms involved that are sometimes disputed. In all science, nothing can be prooved 100%. That is the nature of science. This does not mean that it is a faulty mechanism in discovering truth. As far as I can tell, there is no visible research being conducted showing that there is a biblical alternative that is credible. All the creationists do is distort science and misunderstand evolution to prove their case. I challenge you to find any scientific research in the area of biblical creation that has been published in the scientific journals. I also challenge you to show me any research or scientific data that has been scrutinized and accepted as credible. I repeat again...there is no disagreement in the scientific community that evolution happened and is considered fact, based on the overwhelming evidence. I believe though, that I am wasting my poor typing skills trying to convince you, since I am convinced that you choose not to abandon your precious religious beliefs no matter what.
