So you'd like to believe.

Viruses and bacteria evolve every day.
They remain bacteria and viruses - don't they? And they continue to serve the specific purposes for which they were created.

People with no science knowledge shouldn't make such silly statements, it makes them look uneducated and backwards.

Go read a book about the universal genetic code, genetic commonalities or fossil records
"One thing I picked up about evolutionists in every thread that I have followed: they really believe education makes them superior beings; so much so that they establish and maintain a deep-seated contemptible demeanor meant for all who do not believe they way they do. Their haughty attitude reveals itself in the unrelenting contempt with which they hold religious people, the sarcasm, the insults, the useless attempts to intimidate believers." (Wilson)

You just revealed the way you really feel about evolution doubters.

"Quote-mining" = distortion.

It's like trying to teach rocket science to someone with Downs syndrome.

Here's a link anyway;

And who is it that hangs on doggedly to this "common and false idea?"

Nothing but the truth.
You mean they don't remain bacteria and viruses?

Can anyone expect truth from someone who sees nothing wrong with lying?

Do you agree with this statement?:
"Here's what the fossil record should look like if Biblical creationism were true. In the very lowest strata we should see no fossils at all. This is because, according to the Bible, all life originally existed in the Garden of Eden and nothing died there."

Is this statement true?

Quote-mining = distortion.

The public through a lack of education and Creationists through wilful misrepresentation. Though truth to tell, Gee does hint that even some biologists are prone to think in such terms, but that is not the fault of the theory.

This is really too too funny that people actually in 2012 are still working hard to prove the biblical account and disprove evolution. Coming from someone with a degree in religion i can say that the bible is chock full of things that never happened, so the chances are it gives an accurate depiction of the creation is slim. Evolution is a fact because we know that creatures have evolved through biological study, and the fossil record. However since we cannot currently observe the evolution of a creature it still is labeled as a theory.
