Quote:What I am trying to say, is that considering the utter lack of anything even closely resembling solid evidence, evolution explains where human beings come from about as convincingly as creationism.
The statement that evolution lacks solid evidence is as utterly false as the statement that galaxies, atoms, or dna lack solid evidence.

On a semi-related note, you are tempting me to suspend my policy of not arguing with friends on this forum. I always turn the other way when you propagate your naive quasi-totalitarian ideas. Perhaps it is time for me to reconsider that policy.
Yup -- I agree with that policy, and it has involved plenty of mutual restraint.:)I have no desire to argue with friends either. But while there's no ultimate right or wrong about political opinions, and plenty of room for completely diametrically opposed points of view, there are right or wrong answers about how the world works, and how humans came to be on this planet; it was simply more than I could stand to let a statement that evolution is as poorly supported by the evidence as creationism pass without comment.
