This thread is simply meant to demonstrate that there is no evidence to support the accepted theory and therefore it is not science but faith based religion.
It is a conspiracy by tptb to demoralize us and liken us to literal animals/cattle

Don't you just love the argument :p
.:ETA:.
How is the evolution theory supposed to demoralize us?
Because it makes us feel alone? Because it makes us forget "God"?
Because it makes us believe there is nothing else out there?

"God" - pretty far fetched
"Big Bang" - just as far fetched
evolution however is very real, even if it isn't genesis.
think about viruses that become drug resistant because of how we treat them
.... always keep searching, we are all lied to constantly

If you look at the fossil record, you find a succession of organisms that suggest a history of incremental development from one species to another. You see very simple organisms at first and then new, more complex organisms appearing over time. The characteristics of newer organisms frequently appear to be modified forms of characteristics of older organisms.

Wow, that is one long argument from incredulity there.
'I don't understand how this is possible. Therefore God did it.'
Blah blah blah. This kinda crap is infuriating. The denial of basic scientific fact and logic. It sets mankind back. Especially when enough people believe this way that its starting to find its way into public schools.

I believe there are examples of bacterial speciation that have been observed and documented. Sure, it's not as dramatic as watching a dog turn into a bird, but it opens the doors of possibilities.
And why can't someone accept evolution as a valid theory without being labeled religious? If evolution is proven to be false, they can just accept what the evidence supports in a new theory.
If God is proven to be false, how many religious faithful will quit believing?
Besides, you believe in faith-based mullarky.....so why you pointing fingers?

Umm....no. We are still free to believe what we want to believe. If anything, it can be said that religion is exactly what you described considering the manipulation of the religions throughout time.edit on 13-12-2012 by sheepslayer247 because: (no reason given)
You just said it. "I believe" you believe in evolution although you cannot prove it. I never said anything about what I believe. You assume that because I don't blindly buy into the evolution nonsense that I am religious. This demonstrates your ability to accept your own assumptions as fact.
It seems evident to me that species were created to sustain themselves within a given set of parameters

Another pointless thread.
Let's get all of the atheists and theists at each other's throats again because that's real productive.
Both groups have irreconcilable belief structures in regard to the genesis of complex organisms. So the idea that another thread regarding how stupid someone else's beliefs are is useful in any way is fallacious on every level.
Let's all fling some more poo.

But isn't the proof in the fact that it is actually changing its genetic makeup as it mutates and becomes a "variation" of its original from. It is evolving and adapting to its environment to survive.

It is not my intention to prove anything other than the fact that evolution is pure speculation and that believing it as absolute fact is an act of faith.

Unless it changes into a different species it is variation not evolution.

from an atheism site, I'm not an atheist but this is one of the first things that came up when googling "fossil evidence for evolution."
Do you dispute that the Earth is billions of years old? Just trying to get a grasp on how deep you believe this conspiracy goes. Evidence would show us that the Earth is 3 billion or so years old and had a very slow development of life...from single cells to complex. Is this evidence all fabricated?
