there are plenty of murders that nobody has witnessed, but forensic evidence is still damning
and again, evolution is not crap
but you've ignored my challenge to debate it and my other challenge to debunk a paper on evolutionary biology of equivalent length to the crock piece you sent me.
So do you think that we are the only life of comprable complexity in the universe? I don't buy that myself, the universe is just too big and full of other planets and systems that we aren't even aware of. And the world didn't come together by accident, there is a system in place that governs how things develop. It needn't be designed, it just follows the laws of reality(physics,biology, all that other scientific stuff)

I still have a lot more to learn (with an open mind of course), but there are universal laws that hold everything together with such fine-tuning, I just couldn't imagine that everything happened by accident. When you look at things like the fact that the earth is in exactly the right place at exactly the right time to support life, it's just too difficult to discount a design or designer.

Unfortunately, we here in the US have been synthesized almost to the brink of destruction. Not that homogenization is bad, in and of itself, but the minds behind the force that is working this have one goal in mind and it ultimately is not peace or synthesis.

The point is, they aren't choosing to evolution to spite you. They are teaching science, and evolution is based on science, that's why most scientists approve of it, and the courts apparently do too. Religion has no place in a public school curriculum, science does, that's why they choose evolution and not ID.
C'mon now, Kill God? Please bring to light a quote by Darwin that says anything close to that. Now we're really getting into some radical territory, I just can't be bothered with that. If you got a quote that doesn't require any semantics or word acrobatics to fit into your statement, by all means whip it out. If not, keep that kind of crap to yourself, it doesn't help anyone and undermines your message.

I am not pro creationism nor am I into ID,, I have not been as active on the boards due to a project I am working on, but I have been studying evolution 3-4 hours of reading a day for the past 4 weeks.

You would think so but learning more and more the divisiveness that has been going on, not just between Creationists and AtheEvolists, I can't trust it when I see such obvious tactics used to get it installed as the defacto Science and proof prima facie, of the origin of man.
I believe their is a literal GLUT of data out their that dis-proves much of evolutions claims unequivocally and had it not been for the influence and bias of the Atheist monopoly to keep changing it to fit what they were really trying to say when what they meant to say was not what they were saying before. The Science doesn't have a leg to stand on because 90% of it is predicated on the biased assumptions favouring the theory and its original purpose,
Or,, basically,,

Two opposing viewpoints. One has a theory. The other has the argument against the theory. Out of this, a smaller group emerges who have agreed to compromise. One side agrees to not pick on the theory anymore, and the other has agreed not to mention it anymore. They can even work together and respect each other's living space. That is, if there's not something bigger than both of them driving the final synthesis.
If the black pope is your earth daddy, his only goal is to use you to make the lives of non-catholic people a living hell at some point down the road, because they are/will be the only ones who will be still holding out on the whole "evolution" theory and thus will not "synthesize" and will be viewed as a force against peaceful co-existence. ( the papacy has approved evolution now, so the catholic people are free to synthesize it without fear of holy retribution).

It's called The New World Order isn't it? Wouldn't you say it's the same thing?
One big world with one big government and one big religion? And look at the family that coined the phrase.

What??? A thesis is a concept. an antithesis is the opposite of a concept, the one referred to. 'synthesis' is an entirely different word!!!!!!!
