Just because someone says it doesn't make it true
Exactly! I am so pleased that you realize that your site actually presents no evidence for anything. Just because they say something doesn't make it so. Science depends on observational evidence that is used to formulate an hypothesis. A prediction is made from the hypothesis and then a test is designed and performed that tests the prediction. In the case of current science, that process has been followed again and again. The tested hypotheses are called scientific theories, such as the theory of gravitation (actually not a well supported theory), atomic theory, the theory of plate tectonics in geology, and, of course, the theories of evolution in biology. In science, no one thinks that anything is true just because someone says it. They must first present their observations, hypotheses, predictions and tests.

Or maybe you still believe that the earth is flat.

Why didn't you address a single one of my questions? Why didn't you present any evidence? Well, at least you are aware that you shouldn't fall for the nonsense at that site just because they say it is so.
