    Hate to break it to you, but evolution is not so much an “issue,” unless we’re going to start making things like “the Universe” and “sunshine” into issues.

    Actually it is an “issue”.

    Evolution is one of the only scientific theories taught in our school that is not subject to the same burden of proof as the others.

    The fossil record increasingly does not support evolution. In Darwin’s day he claimed fossils existed that would prove intermediate formsbetween the species, but he hadn’t found them. All these years later with thousands upon thousands of fossils found and documented we still have no proof of these so-called intermediate species.

    Evolution continues to be incapable of explaining the idea incomplete evolution. The theory of Darwin’ Black Box tries to address this, but at the end of it all is basically a theory on chemical reaction and doesn’t answer questions such as: “What good is half a wing to the intermediate bird? What good is half a lung to a fish transitioning to an amphibian?”

    Furthermore, we find it ludicrous as a society, and hopefully in our scientific community, that Dr. Frankenstein could have created life from dead matter. However, that’s exactly what evolutionists have decided. That all living things came from dead matter, miraculously (oops, Freudian slip) brought to life by the cosmos.

    Evolution is like Newtonian Physics — the common standard of the scientific community, and the only accepted solution — until Einstein disproved it.

    So go ahead and be as sarcastic as you want. If your sarcasm can make the theory true, then maybe that’s the missing link for the dead matter argument.

    Believe me, Wes, I don’t in any way consider the story “finished.” There will always be future answers to some of our current questions; answers that themselves foment further questions.

    I compare evolution in general to evolution of language, among other things. We probably have better records of the migrations from the ancient tongues spoken along the Indus River to the English that we know today, than we do for the fossil record; but then again, the timeframe is a lot tighter for the former.

    I guess I just meant that evolution is happening all around us, even right now; so in contrast to things like healthcare, which is an issue with debatable solutions, evolution is a demonstrable fact that, while not 100% completely explained, is not something that needs solving in the more immediate sense.

    Way to go Wes! Evolution is dumber than global warming!
