Heck, I even get you started:

Oh I believe in evolution, I just don't believe in Darwinian evolution. There is a notable difference. I even tend to believe in common descent. The reason why the Creator would've created it like that, maybe for the sake of medicine and science and study of genetics.
However, I do believe science also proves some systems are irreducible complex (even though not everything in the system is irreducible), which to me, imply it was not all random mutations, but significant changes happened at one point that were not small changes over time.
This is not stated in certainty, it just seems that way, from seeing what various sides have to say about the issue and from what I reasoned and what seems like the evidence points to.
Quote:Also if evolution had been falsified, you would think we would not be having this conversation and the person who would have had falsified it would have gotten there noble prize.
Why do you believe that is the case? Is that the case with everything that has been falsified? If not, what makes evolution special in this regard?
Evolution is not special, I only defend it because it one of the strongest supported theories in existance, if a discovery was made that disproved evolution I would through it out and support the new theory. There is good hanging on to a theory that is wrong as it helps nobody and only hinders are progress.
So my point again is the only reason I defend it, is because (at the moment) it is the best theory for explaining how complex life on earth came to be, not the origin of life as that's a completely different theory altogether.
