Just Wow.
-Argument from incredulity. I can't believe evolution happened.
-Argument from ignorance. I don't understand evolution as evidenced by my explanation of why I don't believe in evolution, and why it didn't happen.
-Argument from authority. Smart people agree with me.
-Argument ad naus. I'm going to repeat these claims as I'm incapable of actually defending them, I just like the way they sound.
You know what grinds my gears here? Arguing against evolution is arguing against a simple observation that anyone with a shovel can make. You should stick to the theoretical bit if you're going to argue anything at all. How did the observed change occur? You folks are so fantastically deluded about what part is observation and what part is theory that it's completely unsurprising to me that you consistently fail to offer valid criticisms of the theory. No matter what your explanation may be, the landscape and variety of life changes through time, and this is not theory, this is a demonstrable fact. This fact is based upon a simple observation, available to any and all, and beyond any grounds for disagreement. The only area open to alternative explanations would be the mechanism. It just so happens that there are alternatives to Natural Selection, and it just so happens that creation by the biblical god is not one of them. You're mixing science and religion, and when you do that, religion is going to come out the other end looking like a complete ass.
