Evolution in other species is an observable fact.

The evolution of humans from a previous species is a theory, and has been ever since the origin of the debate between creation and evolution. Only reasonable assumption is allowed when it comes to humans.

Not to mention he actually recanted his whole project on his deathbed. Although it really doesn't hinder it...it just allows room for some mystery and marvel, that's all.

Wow you deny evolution and the wind?
Thats just evil, man.
I was unaware he recanted, not that it makes a difference.
Any links with that?

That's actually a hoax and the most basic of research would have turned up this information. But what importance is the truth when it affects your worldview? The truth is evolution is a theory and a fact. Species change and this is the cause for biodiversity on Earth. That is a fact. It is also a theory because it is based on empirical research and it is capable of making accurate predictions about future experiments. While the mechanisms of evolution may not be 100% understood it is still probably the strongest theory in all of science.

The only things evolving on this planet are opinions.... like the one you presented in your OP

How is that evidence for creation of organic life? We have know that was created because we have empirical evidence that it was created. Where is the empirical evidence that organic life was created?

No, thats just our first step to becoming gods.
As we are now creators ourselves.
Our in this case manipulative creators.
We become real creators, when we create life from inanimate.
However, it has no arguement against evolution.
The created life will ALSO evolve.

I personally think evolution of living species goes in leaps, a buildup to a leap to the next evolution,
Planetary evolution is a long process.
Species evolution not nearly as long one would assume.

I take it you're referring to punctuated equilibrium theory here? I always got a kick out of reading Gould demolish the gradualistic theory and argue punk-eek, and then watching the gradualists come back and shred Gould's theories...leading me to believe the varying factions of evolutionary theory are their own best hostile witnesses.

I'm open to consider the idea of common descent, but at this point it's got too many insurmountable hurdles for my taste, as well as too many flawed assumptions (as regards stratification, radiometric dating, and others) - in addition to its/biology's unwillingness and inability to reach further to address (a)biogenesis.

Take care.
