OK folks - present the best evidence (and source) you have.

Either supporting evolution or debunking it.

There's no need to focus on other theories. Just this one!

Don't try to guess my beliefs. I haven't given them!

I read a paper recently on irreducibly complex systems, and found it fascinating in that it pointed out in relatively simple terms that each part of a cell couldn't funtion independently of the other parts. In essence, it was saying if you took a mousetrap apart, not only would it not catch alot of mice, it just plainly wouldn't catch any until assembled. I believe the same is true for living organisms. Somehow the integrity of the complete cell had to be in place before it could ever attempt to evolve. I believe firmly that modern science is overconfident in its belief that it can explain everything...and when they fall short they force the puzzle piece in, much like shoving a circle peg through a triangle hole.

Ok First off, the debate on whether evolution is correct is only whether humans evolved, nobody is arguing that evolution happens, what people argue about is whether people evolved from apes.

Let me tell you that we did not evolve from apes. While on average 2/3 of every fossil we have found of every animal has been a transitional fossil, that is an animal that was is part what state it is in now, and part whatever it was in the distant past. Well actually 2/3 of every fossil of every animal we have found is a transitional fossil, execpt for humans. We have found no transitional fossils from ape to man. The ones in the past that claimed to do that have all turned out to be scams. I will briefly describe some, then stop, but there is an enourmous amount of scientific evidence for a supernatural being, which i will mention if somebody calls me on that statement. Anyway here are some of many evolutionary frauds:

Piltdown man: Found in a gravel pit in Sussex England in 1912, this fossil was considered by some sources to be the second most important fossil proving the evolution of man—until it was found to be a complete forgery 41 years later. The skull was found to be of modern age. The fragments had been chemically stained to give the appearance of age, and the teeth had been filed down!

Nebraska man: A single tooth, discovered in Nebraska in 1922 grew an entire evolutionary link between man and monkey, until another identical tooth was found which was protruding from the jawbone of a wild pig.

And the most recent one is reffered to as Lucy. This was an "ape-man" that appeared to have a ape skull with a human jaw, and a leg bone that allowed it to right upright. But here is the thing. The knee that was discovered that allowed it to walk upright was discovered a year before the rest of Lucy. Not only that but it was discovered almost 2 miles away and 200 feet deeper. As for the jaw bone, there was another jaw discovered in the same place at the same time that fit better then the human looking one. Not to mention that but some modern chimpanzees have that same jaw structure anyway, making both of them 100% not human.

Evolution has no real evidence. All are theories which even then don't make sense, nor have ever been proven.

read this book, it gives all the genetic, archeological and linguistic evidence.
