Fortunately for evolution, the evidence is abundant.

And unfortunately for many religious fundamentalists.

I haven't seen any evidence,

Take the blindfold off first.

Try reading something besides the bible for once.

And what's with this fear of evolution anyway? My parents are Christians, and they accept evolution no problem. Then again, my dad is also an organic chemist, so he's one of those rare Christians that actually understands science.
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

I agree.. I got tired of rolling my eyes, and decided to give this view a shot.....albeit it with consistency.  
And the view does give the burden of proof an interesting twist.

Let's talk about twists. This thread is about showing evidence for religion. It sure is nice how you've spun this around to making others prove evolution. That certainly gives your religion so much more credit. Protip: it doesn't.

If you want evidence for evolution, it helps to actually research the sources of it for once.

Here's a good place to start. Don't take their word for it, since they've just put it all in one handy place. They've put up links to their sources for something more solid. I'm not expecting you to put the work in though. Here's me wasting my time on you again.

I am told that is not sufficient.

And I don't have a fear of evolution. I use to be an evolutionist and then I started researching the issue.

Evidence for religion?

Consider me a satellite forever orbiting,

It's not about proving or disproving evolution. And does have to do with the topic....perhaps not directly, but with some of the claims here.

However, it doesn't sound from your description, that it is because of something that they witnessed, rather it is a conclusion for these false memories. I don't think that remembering a slightly different name for the Berenstain Bears cartoons; it follows that there must be a parallel universe.


Here are just a few conspiracists' web sites for your entertainment. It's is also ALL over YouTube.
