Why are you still posting this crap when I've offered 29 pieces of evidence for evolution that you haven't made any attempt at disproving? Do you think that if you say 29 times that evolution isn't proven that it'll counter the evidence? Maybe you should work on your logic.
Because you lost me when the first sentence says, "Evolution, the overarching concept that unifies the biological sciences, in fact embraces a plurality of theories and hypotheses". Note on reference to fact that he's trying to prove that it's fact. Again, facts, please Kenshi. I know it's all theory and hypotheses (which are by definitiion "educated guesses").

If you had read more than the first sentence, you would've seen it's full of facts and observances. Let's start here:
Again, so it was told to you by desert-dwellers from millennia past who, if brought to life today, would be terrified of, among other things, lunar eclipses and your menstrual cycle.
Enjoy that belief!
If you're offering to buy it for me, great -- I'll PM you with my address. But if you're expecting ME to pay for that fish wrapper, no thanks. I'd rather read the autobiography of Justin Bieber - a lot more thought provoking, I would imagine.
"When evidence is found to contradict previous conclusions, those conclusions are abandoned, and new beliefs based on the new evidence take their place. This "seeing is believing" basis for the theory is exactly the opposite of the sort of faith implied by the claim"
New beliefs, not new facts. See, you throw away a monkey, and you gain a fish. Tell me when they "see" a pastrami sandwich as the new origin of the species.
Please point out my flaws in vocabulary and how I "slam myself". Please expand on that profound thought.
In my post, I was referring to the atheist's implausible arguments -- like how a fish walked out some body of water, decided that he was going to, just for the heck of it, evolve into a human being. Not a dog, not a cockroach, but a man. Wait, stop the presses! That's not what Darwin meant -- he meant that apes evolved into man -- wait, no, it was definitely fish. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket. Whatever helps you sleep at night.
The fish did not DECIDE anything. Neither did the ape.
Btw, the invasive walking fish is now being found throughout the south
Snakeheads, the razor-toothed Asian fish that can walk on land and has attacked humans, have been reported across the southern United States, the Interior Department has warned.
The largest species of the bizarre freshwater fish, which can grow to four feet long (1.2 meters), has been found in open waters in Florida. In addition, illegal live snakeheads have been confiscated in Texas, Alabama, and Kentucky and are being sold over the Internet, the agency said.
Admittedly, these were imported from Asia, but still, they are here in the US now.

Fact: Fossils have been found showing a gradual transition from chimpanzees to humans, from reptiles to birds, from reptiles to mammals, as well as others.
Fact: The theory of evolution is by far the most accepted explanation for this among biologists. There is no competing theory that holds any merit.
Fact: Mankind has witnessed speciation firsthand.
How many facts do you need? My link has plenty of them.

Hey, great pic! Love those walking fish! I don't deny the existence of such fish, but turning into man... you have to admit, Nana, that's quite a stretch.
How can you demonstrate that all these many findings of species that are transitions between different phyla/classes are not evidence for evolution?
Why after all these years has NO ONE come out and said "Evolution is Fact?" No one.
