And what is your point exactly? If we are not supposed to reach an agreement based on at least some evidence, how the hell do we know that what we agree isn't a pile of crap?

Thank you. and I am honestly being sincere.
Welcome, Jane, to our little corner of the internet. I am glad that you are sincere.
Your previous post have some of the more common straw man approach that we see from time to time. It really appear to me that it is anything but humble.
Just so you know, the evo side on this forum has experts of many fields. Some are doctorates in their various fields (biology, physics, geology, etc.).
My opinion is that it is always wise for "newbies" such as yourself to first read and ask questions more than making assertions. It is almost always a good idea to assume that other people know more than you rather than less. As the old saying goes, or something similar, "when I was in grade school my parents didn't know anything, when I was in high school my parents knew just as much as me, and when I was in college my parents knew way more than me."
I am sorry if I annoyed you.
Don't worry about it. Ned is one of the most patient people on this forum. If you really want to, he will work with you one step at a time. Even though he looks like your typical crazy grandpa he is really a nice guy.

Here is something to relieve stress.
Assume that a does not equal b.
a + b = t
(a + b)(a - b) = t(a - b)
a - b = at - bt
a - at = b - bt
a - at + t/4 = b - bt + t/4
(a - t/2) = (b - t/2)
a - t/2 = b - t/2
a = b
Since all numbers are the same, math is useless.

I can certainly understand why you believed in evolution in the first place then switched to creation.

I think you missed my point. But that's ok.

Re: evidence of evolution

Again, it seems that you are looking for a singular, detailed piece of evidence that proves evolution. You won't find it, and it is a fallicy to claim it exists, and demand its display.
You mean we can't ask for one single piece of evidence that proves absolutely, without a shadow of doubt, the germ theory of disease?

Re: Jacen's Signature
I said it was to relieve stress not to be solved Now you have ruined it for everybody else. Looks like I'm going to have to put something else down.

a + b = t
(a + b)(a - b) = t(a - b)
a - b = at - bt
