Then you apparently used the argument wrong. Evolution is testable, makes predictions, and has evidence to support it.

Creationism does not, unless you'd actually like to try to russle some up for us.

Seems like you are reading what you want to believe. With scientific theories you are welcomed to go out and verify the results of those theories. Have you done this?

Nothing is just accepted as true in science. If it was, relativity would never have been discovered. We'd still accept the 'ether'.

But you base this on nothing aside from wants and wishes.

Fair enough, I'll be waiting.
