Quote (Daniel Smith @ Feb. 24 2009,18:52)
The reason I'm here is twofold:

1.  To put my ideas to the test.  To throw them out there and see if they are successfully shot down or if they stand the test.

2.  To challenge those who think science verifies their lack of belief in God and hopefully convince one or two that it doesn't.

Daniel, this will be my last reply to you, since it is clear that you have no interest in honest discussion. You cannot face the fact that you might be wrong, that your preconceived and precious worldview might have to be discarded. That's the big difference between you and any scientist here. We're wrong on a regular basis. Our preconceived notions give up the ghost quite regularly. That's because we look at the evidence to see what it is telling us, rather than tell the evidence what we want it to say.

I'd be thrilled if you had real evidence that evolutionary theory was incapable of explaining the observations of the world around us. It would be an exciting development in the history of science, and I'd love to be alive during such a time. But you have no evidence, just your presuppositions about the evidence. You are incapable of changing your mind or testing your ideas; that is a laughable statement for someone like you to make.

Good luck propping up your faith with science. I hope it works out, and that you never have to face the facts that your presuppositions have blinded you to a beautiful reality.
