Darwin ,if he knew what has evolved from his studies on birds and of His publication Origin of species(Bird studies)Being he was a religious person and well versed in the Bible Creation account, He would turn over his grave.
A theory is a theory = just a hunch , it does not means it represents reality. Experiment and evidence can be misinterpreted just as well as lawyers and judge do in a Court case.
Present day Evolution theory has been forced by court decision to be taught in school as a Science. Now the poor boys in school who are very logical ,still are not able to make sense out of it. The result they are pushed to learn a flawed theory,and they are getting bored to death.
I wonder if we are wasting our school tax money?

Flawed?... Perhaps.
False?... Certainly not!
'Evolution' and 'Creation' are both theories. However, given those two theories, I would have to give the nod to 'Evolution'...
For, even if the theory of evolution is flawed it is, at the very least, supported by evidence which is empirically based. On the other hand, and regardless of what fundamentalist religious people wish to believe, the theory of creation, at this point, is little more than a collection of imaginary causes and effects.

I like how so many people say that anyone who doesn't believe the THEORY of evolution to be fact are idiots or uneducated.
It is still a theory and not been proven as fact
The FACT is that the THEORY of evolution is flawed (as someone else already stated) but that doesn't mean it is completely incorrect but it also doesn't mean it is completely correct

Absolutely. And the Earth is flat. And the sun and the moon orbit around the earth.
No? Well, the same scientific methods have been used to confirm all the above, including evolution so you either believe them all or believe none.
You were told otherwise? If you are REALLY interested in finding the TRUTH, go study about how scientists and researchers determine their findings. Stop being lazy and believing everything you are told. Go find out for yourself.

Evolution is only hard to imagine by the un-evolved idiots who think it's a false theory.

Evolution can be seen in two ways: Either as a fact or as a theory.
The word evolution has been used to refer both to a fact and a theory. The existence of these two distinct meanings, and confusion over the relationship between and definitions of fact and theory in science, have often caused misunderstandings among laypeople about the scientific status of evolution.
When evolution is used to describe a fact, it refers to the observations that populations of one species of organism do, over time, change into new species. In this sense, evolution occurs whenever a new species of bacterium evolves that is resistant to antibiotics which had been lethal to prior strains.
When evolution is used to describe a theory, it refers to an explanation for why and how the process of evolution (in the sense, for example, of "speciation") occurs. An example of evolution as theory is the modern synthesis of Darwin and Wallace's theory of natural selection and Mendel's principles of genetics.
When people provide evidence for the process (or "fact") of evolution, they are supporting the idea that evolution occurs at all; when they provide evidence for a certain theory of evolution, however, they are supporting a given theory as the best explanation yet as to why and how the process of evolution occurs.
Evidence of evolution.
The process of evolution has left numerous records which reveal the history of different species. While the best-known of these are the fossil record, fossils are only a small part of the overall physical record of evolution. Fossils, taken together with the comparative anatomy of present-day plants and animals, constitute the morphological, or anatomical, record. By comparing the anatomies of both modern and extinct species, biologists can reconstruct the lineages of those species with some accuracy. Important fossil evidence includes the connection of distinct classes of organisms by so-called "transitional" species, such as the Archaeopteryx, which provided early evidence for the link between dinosaurs and birds, and the recently-discovered Tiktaalik, which clarifies the development from fish to animals with four limbs.
The development of genetics has allowed biologists to study the genetic record of evolution as well. Although the DNA sequences of most extinct species cannot be obtained, the degree of similarity and difference among modern species allows geneticists to reconstruct lineages with greater accuracy. It is from genetic comparisons that conclusions such as the 95% similarity between humans and chimpanzees come from, for example.
For more information on this topic, visit the source below which gives deep details on evolution.
Regarding the fact that humans in the bronze/iron age adapted and not evolved. It is true that they adapted in order to get food, but how can you explain the fact that from walking on 4 legs we are now walking on 2 legs? Is that an adaptation as well... I guess it's not an adaptation but evolution (a fact)? I believe blindly in evolution and remain amazed how from bacteria (or archeans) evolution have created all these animals, plants, fungi plus all other kingdoms we can see today.

No, I don't. Evolution is a theory, like with any theory, it has it's holes. But a LOT of facts can back it up.

I think it may be partially correct. I've seen new species develop such as a white squirrel with brown markings on its extremities and satin and rex fur (mutations) occur in rabbits. I think it occurs in small degrees but not to the degree that Darwin thought. Throughout history (not including the interference of man) animals have become extinct faster than new species have formed, thereby discounting Darwin's theory.

It's a theory, not a fact. There are holes in it, but there are constants. Evolution moves very slow as well.

so um? u think humans just appeared one day? the connections have been made almost all the way back to pond muck.. and everything is still evolving and mutating.. those that cannot become extinct.. humans are actually probably the worst thing that happend to planet earth in many ways.. as u can tell i disagree with the entire creationist theory..
