Correct. All of the data could be fudged. The cool thing about science is that you can check the data yourself. Do humans and chimps really share 200,000 orthologous ERV's? If the data is fudged then it would be revealed by sequencing the human and chimp genomes in your own lab. You don't believe that the CMB anisotropy is real? Send up your own satellite and measure it. You don't believe that rocks contain a specific amount of isotopes? Measure it yourself. You don't believe that Lucy is intermediate between humans and our common ancestor with chimps? Look at the fossil yourself.

Very very very well said.

The real question is how do you know that all that science data that was written down as your "so called" evidence was not fudged. You don't? From the posters I have seen here and the way they purposefully twist things I would have no doubts that others, just as self incriminating as you all, would not also, do the same and twist a little here, fudge a little there. When I first came on I thought, maybe I was a little hard on this evolution bit, but when I have been presented with the overwhelming evidence of the methods and tactics of those posting here I am more convinced that I was right.

In most instances the methods and tactics of those posting replies to you have been earnest attempts to point you in the direction of reality. That you interpret this as fudging and purposefully twisting is evidence that the facts presented you have had an impact that you did not want to experience, therefore, to protect your belief structure, you must assume that everyone is lying to you. But they aren't.

Inan3, you don't have to reject God to also understand corporeal reality. It's sad that you apparently think you do, as sooner or later this is likely to lead you to a crisis of faith that didn't have to occur, and unlike a few here, I don't see much point in trying to deconvert people if they are happy with their religion (as long as they don't try to make laws out of it).

Good luck.
