It takes faith to get into your car and go from point A to point B..

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.. 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..

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.

Your right, it was a rant in a patronizing sort of way..
Read many threads between creationists and evolutionists...
Yeah.. it was dallyance, my "rant"... no wish "engage" in wasted time..
You seem to be a believer.. like talking to a Jehova Witness, no percentage in that..
Same with creationists, same thing, wasted effort to my way of "thinking"..

Apologize?, No way.. I think both sides of the "argument" are arrogant..
Like talking to pro-lifers and pro-choicers.. its their way or highway... same with you..
When I was 20 I was the smartest man on earth, but have gotten a lot dumber since then..
And "God willing" am getting even more dumber as we post..
Nah! I'm too dumb for an "intelligent" bi-ped like you..

By the way Did humans evolve to need to use toilet paper or a reasonable facimile ?..
Or is inspecting our daily production from time to time a gift from GOD..?
