Yes,indeed.Proper Knob and twhithead have resiled a bit from their hard stand.Now they imply that they are agnostic atheists.
I must however point out that the word 'know' that you use so much also has a wide range of meaning. I can quite readily say "I know there is no God" and not be claiming to have proof.

Then such posters,who believe that God does not exist but do not KNOW that he does not exist will be classified as agnostic atheists,as per rwingett. Agnostic atheist is a more sensible and humbler poster.

Links to corroborate an untruth is useless to me. There are many people
that agree with me on evolution, so I don't need to provide any links that
say the same thing I am saying. My word should be good enough and
if you want to see the same thing written by someone else, I am sure
that you can find that easily enough, probably by just googling it.
Forgive me, but your word means jack dit to me. Evidence please, all we ask for is evidence.

What do you mean by 'wholesale transmutation'? If you mean can fish evolve into humans, well, in 10,000 years, no, I don't think they could. In four and half billion years, of course! They could evolve into reptiles, birds, mammals, humans, hell, all sorts of stuff. And all without magic.

But when you've actually read a few books on this topic and looked at the 'EVIDENCE' and made an evaluation of the 'EVIDENCE' with your own mind it's not quite so magical.
I still have a book here waiting for you. 🙂
