"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
Or you could read the work of literally thousands of normal scientists and their peer-reviewed papers in the scientific literature rather than trot out less than a handful of creationist scientists.

No one's going to spend time watching your stupid videos Joker. If you can't make the point yourself then don't bother.
I write genetic algorithms based on the principles of Darwinian evolution. If evolution did not work then my algorithms wouldn't work. They do work. They're very useful. The theory is sound and what's more they pass the ultimate test in that they are useful. Therefore I know from first hand experience that you're talking shite. If the theory of evolution was incorrect then gene therapy wouldn't work. It does work so we know again from first hand experience that you're talking shite. Just look at how a new child takes after both their parents. The evidence is plain to see. Humans have been breeding animals for a very long time now. They've been using evolution in practice. They would not be able to do this if evolution did not occur. The best test for any theory is whether it is actually useful in the real world.

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.'

Sigh seen this video already and really that's your big refutation pathetic And who cares if he used to believe in evolution but doesn't now there are ex creationists too .Changing ones mind does not imply that the thing you have changed your mind to is right .Just about every other person on this site is an ex theist so it's meaningless . Oh and please drop the evolutionist nonsense there no such And lastly as math points out it always amazes me that creationists ignore the literal thousands of scientist who accept evolution (hell 1000 named steve alone) and the mountain of peer reviewed work they have done. And present a handful of holdouts as if there some kind of counter weight. But it doesn't matter really because science is about the method and the evidence not the scientists.

Did this troll address the following point yet:
So what if it's not scientific? I mean it is, obviously, but even if it's not, who gives a shit? Atheists don't base their moral actions on TToE. Well, the sane ones don't. The only people this question would matter to is fundamentalists, trying to cling to their fairy tale. To everyone else, it would be a case of, "Whoops! Let's start again." Feel free to send me a private message.
