For Christians (or anyone else) who deny Darwinian evolution.

[Whateverist]

Just goes to show how many people can be fooled by simple lies.

Oh no, they got you too?  Don't believe the evolution deniers.

The OP is titled improperly.

Darwinian evolution is concerned ONLY with the evolution of simple life into more complex life. Darwinian evolution does not address the origin of life and most certainly does not in the slightest have anything to say about planetary age, planetary formation, stellar formation or the origin of the universe.

The general public makes this mistake frequently. That contributes to ignorance. People refuse to accept evolution as fact partly because they think it is making claims it does not. Poll numbers are skewed because people don't understand what evolution is. If you're trying to sell the public a complete, natural explanation of the universe, please don't call it Darwinian Evolution. Darwinian Evolution is just a component of our understanding of the universe. It's solid and reliable. It's a Volkswagen. Don't sell it as a Cadillac.

I think that while evolution accounts for the increased complexity of life forms over time, in fact evolution can favor either more complex or more simple at any point.  There is a barrier in the direction of simplicity beyond which life is unsustainable or unreproducible and naturally earliest life would have been just over that threshold.  But in general, more complex can mean more inflexibly adapted and in the face of catastrophic change the simpler generalist may have the advantage.

How many times must you repeat this in order to maintain your belief? Your earnestness is kind of cute. Pathetic sure, but also cute like a child.
