Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
Looks like bevets is just going to resort to argumentum ad nauseam.
*shrug* Oh well...

I will add this: If evolution is a fairy-tale/fanatasy, unlike so many fairy-tales, it is an observable one!

Bevets, can you do anything else but repeat the OP?
Is this like one of those crank calls that a local radio station used to do, where people would call in, the radio station would give them a phrase like "wanna go and pet my rabbit" and they would randomly call a business. If the caller could keep the business on the phone for a certain amount of time but never say anything but the phrase or sections of the phrase "wanna go pet my rabbit" they would win a prize.
So, how many posts do you need to win?
If this isn't some sort of contest, maybe you could answer the question that people have asked, like "what does science claim evolution is?"
A Parable:
He reaches to his keyboard and hits the post button. "Evolution is an elaborate fairy tale."
You're still skeptical. 'Define Science, Define Evolution?', you ask.
"Evolution is an elaborate fairy tale" he states loudly (obviously annoyed that you would question him).
He reaches out and hits the post button again to repeat his opening post,
"Do you believe me now?"

He reaches in his pocket and pulls out a penny. "See -- I'm a billionaire."
You're still skeptical. 'What does that prove?', you ask.
"I'M A BILLIONAIRE" he states loudly (obviously annoyed that you would question him). He reaches in another pocket and pulls out another penny, "Do you believe me now?"
The opposite truth has been affirmed by innumerable cases of measurable evolution at this minimal scale-but, to be visible at all over so short a span, evolution must be far too rapid (and transient) to serve as the basis for major transformations in geological time. Hence, the “paradox of the visibly irrelevant”-or, if you can see it at all, it’s too fast to matter in the long run. ~ Stephen Jay Gould
Question for bevets: How many books on evolution have you read? Have you actually read anything by Gould or Dawkins or anyone else you so readily quote?

I am curious bevets, what schooling have you gone through to reach these conclusions? What higher level education do you have, and from what accredited facility?
My prediction is that Bevets will ignore most of what people say and will again copy and past part of the OP as a response.
In light of your prediction, I will also make a prediction: this thread is pointless and will remain so.
