This was the post that you misrepresented:

Why won't you come out of the closet and admit you hold Young Earth Creationist beliefs?

Are you embarrassed to hold such unscientific irrational beliefs like the earth being only 18,000 years old?

He did not suggest that you are gay. It seems like you selectively read a small part of a sentence and immediately responded. I think this post is a good sample of why this discussion has become so difficult for you. You should consider slowing down and actually reading entire sentences at a time. Go over each sentence 2 or 3 times if that helps you understand it better. I think we've identified the root of the problem.

Harrier meant that post for Ceist.

Sorry.

Just to clarify: A Scientific Theory is a "well-substantiated, well-supported, well-documented explanation for our observations. It ties together all the facts about something, providing an explanation that fits all the observations and can be used to make predictions."

The scientific Theory of Evolution is the best explanation for all the observable evidence from the fossil records, from comparative anatomy, and from DNA analysis. The Theory is also consistent with other fields of science. The Theory fits all the observations of genetic changes in populations and diversity of life on earth. It ties together all the facts, and it's predictions remain true.

As a scientific theory, the Theory of Evolution could be falsified by evidence that contradicts the Theory. So far, in more than 150 years, that has not happened.
Great - so explain why you believe that there is observable evidence for evolution, which is the question that you have been avoiding for the last two days.

While you are at it, please provide your definition of evolution.

There are observable facts as far as they go. As I tried to discuss earlier there has to be adaptation for their to be evolution. Survival of the fittest and all. We can observe this over time. Adaptation doesn't prove evolution as far as the creation of us goes though. It's a theory. One neither proven or disproven.

I don't know why it's so difficult for so many to say "I do not know" because we simply don't for so many questions.

This would apply to you, since you refuse to answer the simple question "why do you believe that there is observable evidence for the theory of evolution".

One of the most recent studies resulting in observable evidence that support the scientific theory of evolution is likely in relation to E.Coli studies. The study involved 50,000 generations of E.coli.

That in the end are all still E.Coli. The study doesn't really do much outside of enforce what we have known for years.

I posted a link to Lenski's study early in the thread here:

I want to see you prove you've read all the information in the links I provided.

Especially this one:

Richard Lenski's 25 year experiment: 59,331.4 generations of e. coli evolution and counting.

Richard Lenski - Genomics data from the long-term evolution experiment

Of course it was completely ignored by the resident Creationists, YECers and anti-science conspiracy nutters who seem to have either the memory of a gnat or a propensity for reading threads with their eyes closed.

The reality of natural selection does not equate to evolution as evolutionists claim.
