Look, we can't teach you the basics about evolution on a message board. Read a book, then come back. You're embarrassing yourself, and wasting everyone's time.

Which theory? For that matter, what is the difference between a story and a theory?

I cannot teach this on a forum. Please learn some science and you will begin to understand.

I'm quite confident I know the basics of evolution. I've done a decent amount of research into it and I'm not impressed. Can you say the same about the creationism?

Again.....there's the "I'm smarter than you" garbage.

Or maybe it's possible that we realize that given the evidence we have, a theory can certainly be developed that suggests we were created. I'm sorry if your religious views won't allow for that.

Prove it. I simply don't believe you.


If you've read up on evolution and think it's a fraud or some crackpot theory, then you shouldn't even trust the science that allows you to type your posts and transmit them over the Internet. It's THAT basic.

Do you believe that isotopes exist? Do you understand gestation of mammals in the womb?


Seriously, you sound like someone who just wandered out of a cult's headquarters.

She's right, science powaaaa
I can't think of a single reason why the law of evolution should NOT be taught. It is nature, discovered and described by science. It is the Truth and the Light.
