Susan, Susan, Susan, it doesn't take but a heartbeat for an Evolutionist to
prove that I'm right. What on earth do you mean by "the Theory of
Evolution"? I was just told that Evolution is both a theory and a fact and
that the theory explains the fact. According to the Talk Origins Fact vs.
Theory Evolution FAQ, the fact of evolution is ameba-to-man and all that
sort of stuff (Sagan and others concur). Now, you speak of the Theory of
Evolution. Obviously, you can't mean the ameba-to-man stuff. So, what's
left? Punctuated Equilibrium ties together all of our knowledge about
biology? I guess that should make all Creationists laugh. And, the shell
games continue.

Again, "theory" by definition excludes known fact. There's a big jump from
that to wild guess.

Facts are things known to be true (the instrament says the temperature is 72
degreesF). In rigorous science, "data" (and logical extensions, as in
2+2=4), are the only things known to be true. In religion, any number of
things can be believed to be true. It is religious to call evolution a
fact, Evolution itself is not data or a logical extension of that data. I
congratulate you for referring to Evolution as a theory, but shame on you
for not seeing any middle ground between a fact and a wild guess. And, why
don't you jump on your fellow evolutionists who keep calling evolution a
fact?

There you go again contradicting all your evolutionist pals. What does
complexity have to do with Evolution?
BTW, "It is a fact that in the rocks dated as being the very oldest we find
fossils of single-celled creatures."
