But the point of the this is really Evolution. Evolution HAS NO HOLES. It leaves a few questions unanswered, sure, but the processes which it outlines and identifies mechanisms for are completely sound from the point of view of one well-versed in chemistry and biology. What I find is most, if not all of the arguments against evolution stem from misunderstanding the science.
NO! Man did NOT evolve from apes. We share a common ancestor.
NO! Lightning did not strike a rock and out pops life. That's creation. Life came from a system of organic molecules that stuck together because the environment and chemistry was right.
These things are just misconceptions of the science. Learn the science, and evolution will make sense!

Don't expect creationists to speak to blasphemy.

Learn MORE science, then you will wake up.

I think you're both wrong. Learn the limitations of science, and you'll better understand the Creator who is not confined to natural law. |

If evolution had science behind it on the important conclusions then it would show it and be persuasive to all people. Instead it all relys on faith in the authority of the self proclaimed "expert".
Show us the money.
There is so much yak about evolution is true and the bible isn't true but little meat and potatoes backing evolution.
Evolution will never stop its demise till it makes its case on the merits. |

As it stands, I have to believe your definition is "stuff that offends busterdog."

And fauns are more likely to invite you in for a cup of tea.
