Hello

[Platonic]

I would heavily advise you to get a proper science book about evolution, forget everything you think you know about it, and study it from scratch.

You said it yourself, the scientific method is how you establish truth. Evolution has been proven to be the one and only explanation, beyond reasonable doubt, and accepted by an overwhelming majority of (almost every) expert in the relevant fields. Multiple fields.

You said you like honesty, so here it is: you totally misunderstand evolution and appear to have picked up bits and pieces from people who don't understand it, coupled with some of the Christian propaganda which they put out because evolution debunks their belief system.

You can just ignore me if you want, that's fine. But if you are interested in the truth, you'll need to study a proper book on it. Maybe some members can recommend good ones to start with?

Otherwise, you're argueing and dismissing something you know next to nothing about.

Evolution is not just an idea, it is proven, and reproven, and continues to make correct predictions about new discoveries. It is nothing like creationism which is just a story.

OK well, if you won't read a book about it, that's up to you. But I'm afraid I can't take your views on it seriously until you do.

Sure, the government (not science) has suppressed certain knowledge. That doesn't mean all knowledge is suspect.

But what you do from here is up to you.

That's like asking me to find out whether or not Islam is the true religion by reading a book produced by Muslims

REMEMBER: I AM NOT DENYING ANYTHING. I am merely suspicious of ANY scientific claim not backed up by repeatable, observable experiments. I now refuse to have blind faith in ANYONE, PERIOD!! No scientific experiments to back up a scientific claim and all you have is speculation. Presenting speculation as fact is the work of a CON MAN!!
