^^^ Still not a single solitary shred of evidence for God's existence.

It is becoming increasingly clear to Harrier that the evolutionists in this thread do not think critically about the theory of evolution.

Instead, they blindly believe what they are told without question.

This is evident by substituting a list of video and links for an answer asking why they believe that there is observable evidence for evolution, and in the case of another evolutionist, refusing to even attempt to provide an attempt at an answer.

If the answer to the "why" question is a list of stuff that other people have said or written, then there is no critical thinking going on - the people who think that an appeal to authority is an answer are committing a logical fallacy and indicating that they are unable to think for themselves, or provide any rational analytical defense for their beliefs

Still not a solitary answer from you of why you believe that there is observable evidence of evolution.

Critical thinking (according to right-wingers) = taking the creation story in a book with a talking donkey in it literally.

How much hay did you keep from the mouths of hungry animals when you constructed that straw man?

Logic and critical thinking don't appear to be your strong points.

Feel free to prove Harrier wrong - refrain from substituting rational discourse with logical fallacies.

As I said initially I'm not sure about subatomic particles, but we don't need a picture of small molecules to know we're working with them. There are other methods of detection. I imagine it's similar in those sciences. I'm in small molecules so that's all I can speak to.

How about any EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE of the particles...have a list? Any of them, really. Without the mention of conceptualized representation, please.
How about measuring charge?

eta: I just googled how to measure subatomic particles and found this in Britannica. Is this what you have in mind?

"The sizes of atoms, nuclei, and nucleons are measured by firing a beam of electrons at an appropriate target. The higher the energy of the electrons, the farther they penetrate before being deflected by the electric charges within the atom. For example, a beam with an energy of a few hundred electron volts (eV) scatters from the electrons in a target atom. The way in which the beam is scattered (electron scattering) can then be studied to determine the general distribution of the atomic electrons."

You believe in the creation story found in Genesis, correct? That there were dinosaurs roaming the Garden of Eden less than 20,000 years ago, yes?

No strawman here, right-winger. These are your actual beliefs.

Whatever Harrier thinks concerning what you typed above is irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

We are discussing the validity of evolution as a scientific theory.

Please stay on topic.

While you are getting back on topic, answer this question, please.

Why do you think that there is observable evidence for evolution?

Quit dodging.

Does either side think we'll ever find proof of God's existence? The answer to that is no. Science says it won't find it because God doesn't exist. Religion says we won't find it because then there would be no need for faith. One thing both sides agree upon is we will never find proof of the existence of God so why try to make this a sticking point?

Where in the bible does it say Adam and Eve walked with dinosaurs?
