[ it takes faith to believe in evolution. / No it doesn't. It takes understanding, knowledge, and evidence.]

It takes faith to get into your car and go from point A to point B.. and there is absolutely NO evidence one species evolved from another, NONE.. evidence to the contrary exists though.

[ You gotta believe in something why not evolution?.. Calling it science is the rub though.. / How do you figure that? Evolution is indeed science. If you feel it isn't, you're invited to explain, *specifically*, why. ]

O.K. evolution is a pseudoscience.. A science of explaining variations of unprovable stuff.. by hokum and pokum.. basically a scam to support godless figments of academic and Utopian dreams.. much loved by left wing ideologies.. and used as a base to support leftist political clap trap. Also, used to justify entire wings of theoretical study in acedemic institutions for the study of questionable events and science fiction like scenarios.. Cannot disprove evolution though. You cannot disprove something that did not happen.. Creationism is also a theory.. Whole colleges are devoted that too.. Humans are not really very smart..

Could be thats why humans are the only living creature on this planet that needs toilet paper.. in some form.. Forcing the inspection of a humans daily bottom line production hopefully at least once a day.. That could be to force a little humility and a smigen of gratitude those being the rarest commodities on the planet. How did I get so smart ?.. I'm not any smarter than you are. I'm discussing this with you..
Did humans evolve to need toilet paper?. Hmmmm......... NAH!...

What is this contrary evidence?

No, it takes inductive reasoning.

and there is absolutely NO evidence one species evolved from another, NONE..

Uh huh... See my previous post, and this list of evidence and then get back to us. Also feel free to explain what you apparently think is wrong with the clear evidence of common descent provided by ERVs. We'll wait.

evidence to the contrary exists though.

Ooh, this should be interesting. What is it?

O.K. evolution is a pseudoscience..

Now that your rant has run down.. I asked you for *specific* reasons you felt that evolution is "not science". I'm afraid that simply making general slurs like you do above does not qualify. Try again. Give examples. If you're not familiar with how to construct an actual argument, ask someone for assistance.

Cannot disprove evolution though. You cannot disprove something that did not happen..

Not very clear on these concepts, are you? Of course you can, by deriving predictions from the "something" which can be tested to see if they're true or not.

Example: Something that "did not happen" is that my house was not struck by an asteroid the size of Rhode Island today. If it had been, my house (and much of the state in which it resides) would have been vaporized, and a huge crater left in its place. Examining the area, I determine that my house is still standing, and there is no huge crater to be found. Therefore I have proved that my house was not struck by an enormous asteroid. I have "disproven something that did not happen". QED.

Are you really this unable to think things through?

Similarly, there are many ways that evolutionary theory could be disproved, if it were not in fact true. Dozens of lines of investigation by which evolution could potentially be disproved can be found here, for example.

So would you care to retract your BS assertion, or would you rather stick by it and continue to appear foolish and uninformed?

Creationism is also a theory..

Then please state it. Warning: A statement has to meet a number of specific criteria before it can actually be considered a theory, in the scientific sense. Good luck -- if you can actually state the "theory of creationism", you'll be the first.

Whole colleges are devoted that too.. Humans are not really very smart..

You said it, I didn't.
