Quote:1. Darwin never once uses either the word ‘ape’ or ‘apes’ in his work ‘On The Origin of Species’, so he could never have said Humans were descendants of or shared a common ancestor with apes.Of course he didn't mention apes in The Origin of Species. He devoted another whole book to that.
Quote:2. Richard Dawkins has never called himself an atheist, he actually considers himself to be agnostic.You are aware that atheism and agnosticism are two different beliefs covering two different things, and thus, not mutually exclusive, right?
Quote:3. Early on in Dawkins’ book, ‘The God Delusion’, he points out that no one can have total certainty that God does or does not exist.Of course I'm aware of that. Also, see my last point.
Quote:4. Darwin had little faith in fossil records ever proving his theory of Evolution, he considered them too incomplete.Bear in mind that A) He wrote in a time when the fossil record was, to say the least, small, and that B) In the 150 years since the writing of the Origin of Species, the fossil record's size has improved by leaps and bounds.
Quote:5. Sir Isaac Newton had an interest in the occult, he studied alchemy and believed he would discover The Philosopher’s Stone, a material capable of turning base metal into gold. He also believed that metals ‘possessed a sort of life’.Well, I'll just let Joe E. Brown say it.
