No one can prove evolution true, even after a 100 years. It is still just a theory.

Darwinistic evolution has lost any credibility over the last 100 year, and yet it is still taught as a fact in many parts of the country. I am not stating that evolution in the sense of the word is wrong, but every statement made about evolution according to Charles Darwin is now considered obsolete and downright wrong by nearly every educated scientist on the planet. Evolution may still be possible, but creationism has equal footing because both are still at square one in terms of evidence. the Cambrian Explosion is a very good piece of evidence that supports creationism, though I still dont have any data that gives solid support of evolution.
P.S. the whole "birds evolve by generation" idea is the dumbest evolutionary statement ever! No Creationist has ever mad the claim that we can't adapt to our environment!

I assume when you say evolution you are talking about Darwin's Theories regarding the process of evolution. . .Evolution is the physical phenomena that the Theory of Natural Selection is attempting to explain.
Anyway, Darwin's theories cannot be proven. Just as all the other great theories cannot be proven (for example: Theory of General Relativity, General Wave Theory, Germ Theory, or Electromagnetic Theory). Would you look for proofs of these theories? How about the Heisenberg indeterminacy principle? Does that bother you?
Only one fact would be necessary to require the scientific community to abandon the Theory of Natural Selection. Just one simple fact that did not fit the theory. 150-years and we still haven't found the fact that disproves the theory.
We've discovered DNA. That didn't disprove the theory.
We've found millions of fossils. They didn't disprove the theory.
We've refined the process of geological dating. That didn't disprove the theory.
But that's what it comes to. some day something may be discovered that disproves the theory. But it will never be proven. That's science.

Hehe, some of these responses simply amaze me.
Evolution has been proven. It can be demonstrated in a lab. And we do it every day, developing cures for viruses that have evolved into newer, deadlier forms.
On the other hand , creationism has never been demonstrated, had any evidence found to support it, nor is it even logically possible.
But we do know the source of the creation myths that are presented in the bible. We know that they are conglomerations of countless pagan myths that preceded them, etc. So it's highly improbable that they have any merit whatsoever... by improbable.... I mean less than zero percent...
But, there are plenty of uneducated folks out there that simply don't know these facts. And boy, do they get mad when we bring it up.
I sure hope we can reach them before they blow us all up in their next holy war.

Experimentation, observation, that sort of thing. Think about it, here's what you have to deny in order to deny evolution:
1. Mutations happen.
2. Helpful changes help an animal survive
3. Little changes add up to look like a big change.
You can't deny evolution without denying these things, and I certainly can't deny them myself. It's 1+1=2, really it is.

Well evolution starts with the "Big Bang" theory of universe creation. Do you really believe that just the right amounts of just the right things crashed together at just the right time? There has to to a higher power.

Not 1 fact of evolution has been proven to be 100% true. That should say enough about that dumb theory...

That evolution what . You left out a verb.
Language is what separates us from animals our ability to communicate in a written as well as spoken language.

Well, ask this to any evolutionist: Where did the earth come from? They would probably say "Well it started with dust.." So let me ask you this: Where did that dust come from? Evolutionists would probably say "From chemicals in the universe.." Well, where did those chemicals come from? You see, evolution would have had to start somewhere and by someone.

If humans came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys? If that part of the theory was true, then there was no need for us to evolve beyond monkeys who are apparently surviving fine and well.
