Sir, you can present mud in a courtroom. That doesn't make it evidence. You can present evidence, and that doesn't mean it supports your case. These are technicalities which I'm sure are lost on you; but, which are not lost on people who use their heads for more than hat racks. How you can make something appear isn't what makes the case. And as another similarly stated here - describing the walls of a nonexistant house doesn't present to us the house that we may touch and walk through. I Double-majored in Math, Majored in science because of my interest in physics. I do very much understand these ideas. Hype and theory are not proofs either.

So you can present something and call it evidence, but that don't make it evidence. Nor does it mean it lends you any support. I took logic too. You might look at the 1st chapter of any good logic book on how to construct an argument.

We're talking about the last 150 years of biology, geology, and paleontology. You think a few handwaves and objections allow you to say, "There is no evidence."

This is not a process which will enhance our understanding of the universe.
