From Darkstar's brilliant article he found:
Just like the Big Bang predicted CMB radiation, Darwin's theory of evolution predicted that it would take "eons" for it to unfold like it has even though during his time it was unknown how old the Earth really was. Quite obviously, its prediction is supported by the fact we know the Earth to be ~4.5 billion years old.
Predictive power is a good measure of something being most likely true. You should already know this, given that Islam is hooked on prophets.
It depends. How many logical fallacies am I allowed?
Quote:Darwin’s biggest problem, largely unnoticed by today’s creationists, didn’t come from experts in his own field, but from non-biological sciences. Darwin understood that the grand course of evolution requires hundreds of millions of years, but Lord Kelvin’s calculations of the age of the earth and the sun — before anyone knew about nuclear physics — indicated that the earth and the sun were far younger than the eons Darwin required. Later discoveries showed that Kelvin, through no fault of his own, was exceedingly wrong, and that removed the greatest obstacle to acceptance of evolution. The concurrence of several independent lines of evidence is highly unlikely unless a theory is indeed an accurate explanation of the phenomena it addresses.

It is also obvious that Muhammad was a fraud. Nothing new here.
