The funny part is that even evolution can not be proven. So in essence, it is, by definition, a religion. It just removes the possibility of a God in all interpretations of evidence.
Originally posted by longkenIt looks to me like what you really want is for us to admit we were wrong all along and you were right all along. There is no truth seeking here. You already know the answers you seek.
And that changes anything? i still am looking for answers. so far i havent seen any evidence supporting it. is there any?
There is nothing science can present you with that would prove to you evolution is valid.
The fact it makes a whole lot of sense to hundreds of millions of people around the world makes no difference in your so-called seeking of truth.
In fact, your brainwashing by your religion just gets reinforced when people try to dissuade you so you end up discounting ANYTHING that shows creationism to be other than just a second or third hand myth thousands of years older than christianity.

1. There is a positive (though not perfect) correlation between the genetic code of parents and offspring.
2. Some parents have more offspring than others
Therefore:
3. The characteristics of the genetic code of the parents who have more offspring will be more prevalent in the next generation relative to those who have less offspring.
The evidence for 1 and 2 is overwhelming, even you won't deny that I imagine. 3 follows logically.

isnt that micro evolution? or in other words adaptation?
Originally posted by longkenThe truth, and the straight up answer, is that people who ask the kind of questions you ask do not understand science or religion well enough to understand either - and in most cases do not even want to.
