hold on here

Just once, I'd like to see Evolutionists admit that the THEORY they have so much "faith" in,
They have the same kind of "faith" in the ToE that they have in the Germ Theory of Disease, the Atomic Theory of Matter, or the Theory of a Heliocentric solar System.
I would more accuirately call it "trust", since it's too easy to confuse this, more accurate definition of "faith" with the one that does not accurately represent how scuientists view the ToE or any of those other theories; in short, the religious kind of faith. Belief without evidence, iow.
quote:
has been sold to the world as FACT, BEFORE PROOF, which in every other walk of life, is a sign of being swindled.
Nothing is "proven" in science. Not completely. "Proof" is for math.
However, that evolution happens is a fact. We have observed it in real time both in the lab and in the field, and have also inferred it from fossil and genetic evidence.
The Theory of Evolution organizes all of those bits of information into a coherent explanation.
This is exactly the same as any other scientific theory.
Now, if you would like to discuss some science, or specifically evolutionary science, please wander over to the science fora and pick a topic that interests you, or propose a new one.

"Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends! Well I say there are some things we don't want to know! Important things!"
- Ned Flanders
"Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear." - Thomas Jefferson
