[QUOTE][B] You evolusionists like to tell us THIS is a "FACT" and THAT is a "FACT", 20 years down the line, a new discovery is made, which disproves these "FACTS"[/QUOTE]

All science works that way, everything is tentative. There are no absolutes.
[QUOTE][B](Not by creationists, by evolisionists.)[/QUOTE]

And that implies that Creationists aren't accomplishing anything useful. It also shows that the field of evolution is being studied by through honest, open-minded inquiry.
[QUOTE][B]If you could just admit that these "FACTS" are actually theories[/QUOTE]
[/B]
Evolution is a theory and a fact. When I show you evidence that one species diverged from another that is a
fact. When I explain mutation and genetic drift to you as the mechanism for the divergence, that is a
theory.
[QUOTE][B]and that the fossil record, even if completed, only give a glimse into the past[/QUOTE]

Only a "glimpse"? We could say that but we would be incorrect in doing. Actually the fossil record is a seemingly limitless source of information and that's why we have people like Meert and Moose to tease out its secrets. These secrets are vital to the continued survival of our modern society. We need oil and we need mineral and ore deposits or civilization will crumble. Without historical geology we cannot locate any of these things.
Also we use the Theory of Evolution, and more specifically, the evolutionary history of man, in medical research. We have to know what genes are conserved across species in order to know which drugs can be tested on which animals. This will become even more important when we begin to investigate gene therapies. Evolution is important today and has been for a long time. Back in the earlier half of the 20th century Stalin's regime was disfavorable to Darwinian evolution
and put a "biologist" (actually a poorly educated fellow who was related to some important member of the party) who was favorable to Lamarckian evolution instead of Darwinian evolution in charge of the agricultural production of seed. His attempts to improve the strains of plants by using the wrong theory of evolution resulted in starvation across the Soviet Union, millions died. The other countries have not had that problem because they used the Darwinian model.
The moral of the story is that this debate is not academic, it is serious business and Creationists that push incorrect models are bringing a great and unnecessary peril upon any nation that listens to them.
