Without going into solipsistic bullshit, makes it a fact for all purposes. Evolution happens and is happening. The best explanation we puny humans have for it is based on very solid evidence, something religions can't offer.

first of all i wasn't questioning evolution, I was questioning how long it takes.

Are you saying this statement is based in facts?

Also a fact. Do you have evidence that can contradict the evidence pointing out the roughly 3.6 billion year time span of evolution? If it is the babble, don't bother.

Is that so? then I'm pretty sure you can provide the data from the controlled experiments.

What exactly do you mean when you ask for data on how long evolution takes? Like, how long did it take to get from the first organism to what we see today? Or...something else?

Now that I don't know. I'm sure he could have done better than the Bible, definitely.

Really? 

sort
sôrt/Submit
noun
1.
a category of things or people having some common feature; a type. 

Seriously?

How about vertebrates. They all have a common feature, a spine. Did he just take two generic vertebrates?

This is why it's so embarrassing when Christians try to shoehorn science into the bible story. They generally know lots about the bible and piss all about science.

Animals have very clear classification systems. Genus. Species that style of thing. They have clear meanings. So what exactly is a "sort"?
