Evolution is a proven fact. You may be able to prove that humans didnt come from monkeys, but it is impossible to deny that we live in a constantly-evolving world. Every animal species on the planet shows some form of evolution.
What I love though is the assertion that believing in evolution, which there is proof of, is ignorant....so what then, are we to believe a myth about a creator and some omnipotent god that judges us from uphigh?

All animals adapt, there is NO fact to evolution, that is why we call it Evolutionary Theory...
Theory
A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. A theory is valid as long as there is no evidence to dispute it. Therefore, theories can be disproven. Basically, if evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, then the hypothesis can become accepted as a good explanation of a phenomenon. One definition of a theory is to say it's an accepted hypothesis.

Look this is getting out of hand so lets make this quite clear.
The title of your thread is "Evolution Officially Debunked!!!". So if this was any other topic the administrators would put the words [HOAX] in front of the title. Why? Because you, nor Kent Hovid, officially debunked evolution.
Evolution is science's best possible answer for our being here.
Religion is this nut-job's best possible answer for our being here.
Pick one and put up your dukes, right?
The problem with religion's argument is that we are supposed to listen to someone who believes the bible word for word from cover to cover? That means that this man believes we should...
- Stone our wives to death if they are not virgins
- Use slaves
- Beat our Children
- Be Homophobic
Let's have a look at his credentials too shall we?
He holds three degrees in Christian education (1974, 1988, 1991) from unaccredited institutions.
After receiving his first correspondence degree, Hovind started the Creation Science Evangelism ministry (CSE) in 1989. The ministry aims to evangelize people by teaching them creationism. During Hovind's trial the prosecution said the ministry does not have the proper licensing nor is it registered as a nonprofit, which resulted in legal troubles.
Now here's the fun part...
Kent Hovind had been charged with falsely declaring bankruptcy, making threats against federal officials, filing false complaints, failing to get necessary building permits, felony assault and battery (charges later dropped),[120] and various tax-related charges. He was convicted of federal tax offenses and related charges, for which he is currently serving a 10-year sentence.
Hovind was charged on September 13, 2002, for failure to observe county zoning regulations with respect to Dinosaur Adventure Land.[31] Despite arguments that the owners did not need a permit due to the nature of the building, the park was found in violation of local regulations.[121]

*snip*. No we dont need to stone our children and stone our wifes and have slaves. That is the OLD Testament. In the Old Testaments time people had to literally be sinless to get into heaven. Sin is the ultimate crime. Sin = Death. They did not have a savior they had to do as God instructed. And doing those things to keep sin out was what they had to do. The only way back then to be forgiven of a sin was to sacrifise a Lamb to God. Since Jesus came and died on the cross he wiped away our sins. Now we dont need the old laws. We just need to ask Jesus for forgiveness, and he'll for give us. Although that doesnt mean take advantage of him cause God isnt stupid. Maybe that cleared some stuff up for ya.
yes it is its the unifying thoery of all biology

yes it can it has on many occasions
it cannot be OBSERVED!!!
macro eveolution is just evolution on the genetic level, if weve seen micro then macro exists they are the same process, macro is what happens after lots of micro
Only Micro-Evolution can be observed...
we have many times ^_^
How come we havent seen a new species come about,
we havnt we are still evolving, your dna has variance from everyone elses thats becasue of mutations other wise dna analysis at crime scenes wouldnt work
why have we stop evolving if evolution is true? Explain that...
