Peer review, it sounds like your holy texts
Go read how many peer reviews have been overturned recently, how many study's have been proven wrong
A peer review is still at best an educated guess,
science once accepted the earth was round,
smoking was good for you,
arsenic fed dna
and proved evolution
and aliens
If it's not an outright lie and unchecked as proven countless times
It must be science
First, examine whether there is bias. What is the motive for the message? If the message is rife with name-calling and loaded words, why is that? Loaded language aside, what are the merits of the message itself? Also, if possible, try to check the track record of those speaking. Are they known to speak the truth? If “authorities” are used, who or what are they? Why should you regard this person—or organization or publication—as having expert knowledge or trustworthy information on the subject in question? If you sense some appeal to emotions, ask yourself, ‘When viewed dispassionately, what are the merits of the message?’
Do not just follow the crowd: If you realize that what everybody thinks is not necessarily correct, you can find the strength to think differently. While it may seem that all others think the same way, does this mean that you should? Popular opinion is not a reliable barometer of truth. Over the centuries all kinds of ideas have been popularly accepted, only to be proved wrong later. Yet, the inclination to go along with the crowd persists. The command given at Exodus 23:2 serves as a good principle: “You must not follow after the crowd for evil ends.”

So your idea of wisdom is discounting the mountains of evidence for evolution because of your own ignorance?
Doesn't sound very wise to me.

Why would anybody bother showing you even more evidence for evolution when you have stated several times and quite clearly that there I's absolutely nothing that could ever make you believe the biological sciences are correct? All you're doing is trolling people with this BS about empirical evidence. You wouldn't know empirical evidence if it gave you a lap dance.

Let me repeat myself again and again and again.
I will accept evolution if I can be shown empirical evidence.
I fully accept biological science when valid evidence is shown.
I have no issues with empirical evidence.
Should I repeat myself again
Why don't you stop the talk and produce evidence that can't be dismissed
I don't think you know the difference between empirical evidence and theory, it's evident in your posts
And to be clear, there is absolutely nothing I have seen or read to this point in time that would make me think evolution is anything more than myth
you're doing it both. And you're both very good at it.

Definition of Empirical Evidence:
Empirical evidence is information acquired by observation or experimentation. This data is recorded and analyzed by scientists and is a central process as part of the scientific method.Mar 24, 2015
There are 526 scientific journals with 126859 research articles which present EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION - which represents only a 3 year period. You can multiply that by a factor of 5 to obtain the true number of EMPIRICAL JOURNAL ARTICLES in the literature demonstrating evolution and various subtopics therein.
Every journal article fulfills the definition of EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE.. The complete list is linked below.
It's up to YOU to tell us why none of these research articles falls within the definition of empirical evidence for evolution.
And please don't bother citing the crackpot creationist definition of empirical anything. We don't need another dose of psycho/pseudo science. Thank you.

No one cares what you accept. Or at the very least, they shouldn't.

Please phantom don't site these crackpot fundamental religious lunatic journals at me
Sick of your preaching.
If they were science they would have evidence, they wouldn't have to dump truckloads of stuff to pass off as evidence
That there is your argument and the way scientists present it to the world.
"Her is all this stuff that we believe, now I have shown you the amount of stuff we have, believe it"
No real explanation, no real detail, just a simple and silly, I believe so should you.
Science run by dictators
That's not evidence, that's a link
Pure religios fundamentalism, thanks phantom, but no thanks
