I'm a betting man, that you are some sort of Christian (or other religion) who was brought up with a belief structure that is not compatible with evolution. It was only after a full indoctrination of that belief structure that you found out, learned, and debated evolution as a Scientific Theory (not just a theory)


Human psychology says that the chances of you changing your mind on an initial belief, even when confronted by overwhelming evidence, is pretty low. So I do not find it surprising that you learned and rejected a scientifically sound (and tested) theory such as evolution.


In my mind, if your religion can't accept evolution than its your religion that is wrong. Its a bit like kicking someone out because he says the earth revolves around the sun.

What does the Catholic church's opinion have to do with anything?

Wow - over 30 pages later and STILL not one shred of evidence supporting theory of evolution.
You say evolution shouldn't be taught in school. I say it should and give valid reasons why. Please explain how that is "off topic".

Neither does theory of evolution - yet a lot of people around here seem to believe it. as "fact".

You made the point that no one has proved creationism.

I have stated several times in this thread and others that neither theory of evolution or creationism should be taught in public schools.

Your focus on creationism was off topic.

This thread is about evolution.

It is presumptious of the God-deniers to claim this as "evidence" that God does not exist.

Who are they to dictate what charisteristics the Lord should have given to various members of his creation?

Cats are awesome!

Meow.

What an absolutely ridiculous comment to make.

Does the pot say to the potter - "why have you made me as such"?

Who is forcing anybody to believe what they believe - except for the evolutionists - who require public schools to teach their unsupportable theory?

If there is a god creator then he could have made us perfect. Superhuman strength, supervision, the ability to fly, immortality, etc. Or, he could just show up, but he doesn't.

God doesn't exist, but of he did, he would absolutely qualify as a village idiot.
