Re: Refuted. (Again). Next PRATT?

Many atheists question evolution, despite it being taught in American classrooms, despite it being alluded to as fact over and over. If it IS based on scientific evidence, the debate would have ended.
This statement appears irrational to me.
The debate over the validity of astrology has not ended, are you therefore arguing that astronomy is NOT based upon scientific evidence?
The debate over the validity of racial superiority (ala Nazism) has not ended, are you therefore arguing that racial equality is NOT based upon scientific evidence?
The debate over the validity of the shape of the earth has not ended (google flat-earth society), are you therefore arguing that an oblate spheroid earth is NOT based upon scientific evidence?
...... I could go on and on and on.
I hope this helps you see the logical falsehood of the above statement.

Re: the relative importance of facts
Because the buck stopped with Monotheism, a premise also in alignment with science, math and logic. This was a difference in kind, not degree. Many wars were faught over it, many nations rebelled and then fell, but this concept prevailed.
That's an interesting proposition, care to enlighten India, or for that matter all of Southern and Eastern Asia, which has half the world's population, on how they are essentially all either Jewish, Christian, or Islamic?
