Science doesn't care if you believe in it or not.

I would have gone with, "Evolution don't give a shit."
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

If we were made from dust, why is there still dust? I'll leave this joker to the rest of you.

Yeah, but benefit of the doubt and all that bollocks. I heartily invite him to prove me wrong.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

He hasn't got time to prove you wrong, what with that bridge to live under and all those goats to deal with...

Wtf is it with all the theists using big bold fonts nowadays?

Evolution is not
·        Testable
·        Repeatable
·        Observable
·        Falsifiable
Therefore evolution is not scientific

Demonstrate that evolution is not testable, repeatable, observable or falsifiable.

We can test for it by cross breeding animals, which has been done for centuries with cattle, chickens, foxes and dogs for example. This can be repeated. It has been observed both in nature and with genetic algorithms. It is falsifiable in that you could demonstrate that what we are observing works by means other than inherited traits, mutation of genetic information and natural selection.

They think it's adding emphasis and power to their argument to make it more convincing. In reality, it's causing people to skip over them and ignore them.
