Uh huh...

Evolution is one of the best supported scientific theories. Diverse fields of science such as geology support the basic concepts of evolution. Findings made long after the theory of natural selection was proposed are remarkable in that they support, rather than refute the theory.

Evolution is a political comic book.

No branch of science has found a shred of support for it's far-fetched dreams. Had any evidence ever been found, you can be sure that it's viewing would be mandatory in order to get a food buying license.

Keep on forcing that bad air out of your brat.

I didn’t say evolution didn’t happen. I said that the theory as defined isn’t sufficient and there is purposeful efforts to ignore the divide between the theory and the evidence. A good example is the changes that occurred to produce modern man.

Evolution like climate change sometimes occurs very quickly if you accept the bursts of diversification detailed in the fossil record. A good example is the development of the brain in modern man. Evidence for accelerated “purposeful” evolution is still denied or just entirely ignored.

I also am troubled by the continued false assertion that humans and apes are so genetically similar. Not only do humans have 46 chromosomes to the apes 48 the gene transcription factors which control how genes are expressed are considerably different.

I believe that there is a concerted effort as there is with other politically sensitive sciences to misled the public about the evidence concerning evolution.

I would recommend you take time to visit your library and read

I also want to point out I’m not a biblical creationist who believes in a young earth and other equally silly ideas. I just believe that far too much of evolutionary theory is based upon stories and assumptions that aren’t supported by the empirical evidence.
