The problem is that this is not absolutely true and the robots who repeat the mantra never bother defending their position.

Something does not become true just because you say it enough times.
Prove it.

Prove that evolution is not the basis of modern biology.

Where have you been since 1973?


Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution

Its not my job to prove a negative. You are the one who claimed that it is the basis for modern biology. The burden of proof lies upon you.

95% of the US population believe there is a "God".

88% of the World's population believes there is a "God"

How many people believe in God worldwide

Evolutionists dislike that - because it gives them no place to propagate their myth.
Only the "myth" of evolution actually has evidence (fossil records, DNA, genetic testing) that support it. It meets the tests of science. Whereas the "myth" of creationism has no evidence to support it. The only support for creationism comes from faith in a book written long ago. The "myth" of evolution, like any scientific theory, is constantly adjusting itself to fit new evidence, new facts that come to light. Whereas, if you subscribe to the "myth" of creationism, you have to constantly adjust the facts to fit your beliefs.

Fundamental differences which make one a religion, and the other science.

Science should be taught in science classrooms. Religion has no place in science classrooms.

By definition a myth has no evidence to support it - and neither does the myth of evolution.

Clearly you have not been paying attention. Not that I can really claim to be surprised.

Based on what he believed in AT THAT time. Thanks for an out of context quote.



Our amazing world of Nature: its marvels & mysteries - Reader's Digest Association - Google Books


This is why people who live in the sane world do not take those who push creationism seriously



Not pushing anything.

I'd just like better answers to my simple questions.
