Pooeypants: As far as your comment about the world needing to be flat in order to see it, I enjoyed seeing how you ruled out all explanations besides just seeing everything physically in front of your face. And really I don’t see the purpose behind the post, but ah well I will move on.

“And humans evolved from ape-like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Sure this is nice to say, but as explained before, show me some evidence (there must be some somewhere if it is a fact, shouldn’t there?)

“Well evolution is a theory. It is also a fact”

Again, its nice to say, but a fact requires evidence, so if you don’t mind I’d like to see some =).

“Evolution has as much proof as that which supports that gravity exists.”

(See above).

“Correction, creationism has no proof, hence it is the only explanation for the diversity of life.”

I’m sorry, but this is quite an uninformed statement, and some quick research in modern scientific findings will quickly show you otherwise. I could go into detail later if you like.

“However it has no place in science as this the d00d above said.”
Again, a rather uninformed statement.
In your ‘arguments’ I really see what is all too common in the mainstream scientific community today, and unfortunately in education as well. Evolution is proclaimed as factual over and over again, yet offers no solid scientific proven data to back it up. Rather it molds small pieces of what it call evidence into its ever changing story and then demands that it be unquestionably accepted as fact.
Another strong misconception that you make is: evolution is science, creation is religion. Well, a quick look at the amount of conjecture, guessing, and lack of actual scientific data strongly demonstrates the fact that evolution itself is a religion. It is no longer, though some may wish to believe, an interpretation of data to test a theory (in this case evolution) but rather the interpretation of data within a strong preconceived expectation and belief that evolution is fact. If you challenge evolution, you are reprimanded and attacked as being a dissenter and fundamentalist. So, seeing as how you say religion has no place in science, where should evolution now stand?
