Fortunately for evolution, the evidence is abundant.

And unfortunately for many religious fundamentalists.

I haven't seen any evidence,

Try reading something besides the bible for once.

And what's with this fear of evolution anyway? My parents are Christians, and they accept evolution no problem. Then again, my dad is also an organic chemist, so he's one of those rare Christians that actually understands science.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I am told that is not sufficient.

And I don't have a fear of evolution. I use to be an evolutionist and then I started researching the issue.
