    Mutations = Genetic disease. Not evolution.

    There are very rigorous factual requirements to label something a "theory".

    Evolution meets those requirements, and has for 100 years despite extensive research and questioning, all of which confirms it.

    Creationism meets NONE of the requirements to be a scientific "theory", and does not deserve to be taught anywhere. Its not even a good bedtime story.

    They are not inclined to shed doubt, its agrred speech and agreed science. Not unlike AGW.

    Wrong.

    The Religion of Evolution has constantly and continuously proven itself wrong, and changed its stances, over the years. How anybody could continue to take it seriously is beyond me.

    At least the Roman Catholic Church is consistent. They may not be right about everything, but at least they're consistent!

    Wrong, Evolutiion has been tested time and time and time again, and had been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.

    The ecidence is there for all to see.

    There is no higher praise than this from the Right Wing for the stories they love to believe in.

    That there is contrary evidence and science in no way deminishes your acceptence of the theory, and ignore doubt, because the theory explains your world view. It seems Marx said that very thing to Engals as explaining their social theory of communism. Godless Atheism has many denominations through which to practice your faith and beliefs.

    The ecidence [sic] is that the Religion of Evolution has itself been evolving and constantly changing.

    It's funny, really.

    I was commenting on Georges comment. I thought you were following the conversation. Your question should be towards him, not me.

    Is truth truth, or does it change over time to explain new positions that are no longer truth? Stuff to think about.

    All theory’s do, simply because human understanding improves.

    Accepting the science of evolution somehow makes a person Godless? Interesting comment at least.

    No, that was directed at me: Post #135

    Since you claim there is 'contrary evidence', show it.

    If it uses evolution as explanation of how we can to be, then yes. Variation among individuals of a species is real science that is observable. Evolution is a theory that explains away the existence of God.

    Hardly

    Some folks need to get over the "one size fits all" mentality. It's a very narrow view

    Don't tell me, tell them. I accept science as long as it is science. When it becomes political or Atheistic to support an agenda, then its no longer science but attempted hegemony.

    You don't accept science. If you did, then you would accept Evolution.

    ?????

    My mistake. I thought it was you who commented about folks who accept the science of evolution as being Godless.
