your one "scientist", that says that a dinosaur was found in the 1980's is so far wrong that his logic is hanging out with Neptune right now.
sorry to offend you Neptune..
Pluto. His logic is hanging out with Pluto.

You really don't understand science.
Science is not about rigorous provable truth. Science is about postulating a theory that is testable, falsifiable, and fits all available evidence. If the theory is shown to be inconsistent with the evidence, then a new theory, or theories are postulated and evaluated in the same manner.
When we say "evolution is true," we mean "evolution fits all available evidence, and has not been proven false, though it could be. If it is, we'll abandon it for a better explanation."
Religion is not these things. It does not have to be consistent with evidence. It does not have to be testable or falsifiable -- in fact, if it were, it would cease to be a religion.
I don't believe in evolution. I believe in the rational process that allows us to come up with explanations for the natural world, and at this point, evolution is the best explanation.
By the way, your claim that "There are no fact to evolution" is patently false (not to mention gramatically atrocious). Evolutionary processes have been observed and validated both in controlled laboratory settings and in the wild. Even the most ardent "Intelligent Design" advocates admit to this. Their arguments are on the scope of the changes (that they could not have happened on large scales), not that they do not exist at all.
I'll also have you notice that gravity is a theory in the same way evolution is. Both are consistent with available information, and have passed all tests to this point. However, the mechanics of how gene mutations are propagated through a species are far, far better understood than how and why gravity happens. Would you like us to adopt "Intelligent Falling" where items are not, in fact, attracted by this weird force, but instead pushed toward each other by god?

Evolution is based on facts. Facts that can be measured and observed. In fact if you think that a scientific theory is just a guess then you simple fail to understand the basic language of science.
Theory:
A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.
Evolution does a very good job of explaining and predicting things that can be observed. It is well founded and does not rely on only the fossil record.
Almost without exception those who try and make a case against evolution use faulty data and information that was proven to be incorrect many years ago. Creationist inevitably use christian pseudo-science as an argument against evolution, or say that Intelligent design is the answer. The problem with these arguments, at there most basic level is that they are not based on real science.

How do you know its Creator and not Creators. and if so, how many are there. How are you so sure there are whatever quantity you state? Can you prove that there are many so that if I say there are 20, you can disprove me?
secondly, no fact to evolution..... evolution is not a fact. evolution theory is an explanation to why the facts are so which can, as i repeated in your other questions, be used to predict the future.
So far, your questioning implies that evolutionary THEORY is a belief as much as christianity is. Well, how well does christianity explain facts and make predictions? I suppose it explains facts by stating, God made it so, but how does it make future predictions. I do not deny there is much explaining to do in science about evolution but the approach you are taking into this matter is utterly unscientific.
Please understand the approach of science vs. the approach to religion before you start saying science requires only belief.

We keep giving you real answers and evidence, even citing sources to the evidence so you can read it yourself but you just come back with "Bananas for someone...?" and claim that evolution proves that we came from rocks.
Evidence from fossilised remains and studies on them is not "here say" nor is it 99.9% wrong.
Religion is something that people believe - evolution is not a belief system, it is a scientific theory with many facts behind it. Religion is faith based on teachings from holy writings. Can you not see the difference.
Also, one last note, if you think that we are allowed to believe what we want, why do you keep posting the same questions?

Evolution is fact. Just look at Americans. Whites no longer look like Europeans, Blacks do not look like Africans.
You christains place to much emphasis on the word theory. It takes much research to turn a hypothesis into theory or did your church not allow you to take science in high school. For instances you believe in gravity I hope. Yet Newton's laws are still considered the theory or gravity (here's a hint: it's much more involved then an apple fell from a tree, just as the big bang theory is much more involved then the things went boom and here we are.)
Read a book or graduate from the third grade would ya.
I swear there should be an age limit to this website.

Well first allow me to say that I am a christian and I belive evolution was the process by which God created the animals and humans. If you read the the bible genesis clearly states the first God created light, science says the in the beginning was a star that exploded bursting dust and debri everywhere. key word being STAR. next the bible says the earth was void meaning useless and without shape exactly what science says. also if you follow the order of creation it fits perfectly with what science says. the bible says God made man from the dust of the earth ( just like everything else) and made man into his image ( God could have made anything in all of existance become that image) now at this time I must tell you that I am an artist and fairly observant and I have realized that humans still possess similarities to apes ( thats APES NOT MONKEYS!!!!) I fyou don't belive me look at your hand in rest position it is very similar to the way an ape hold it's wrist. any who would like more of my philosophies e-mail me at james_h20012@yahoo.com

In answer to southpaw above, here is another fact to deal with:
The Roman historian Dio (also known as Cassius) wrote that one day when Regulus, a Roman consul (third century B.C.) was fighting against Carthage (North Africa), a dragon suddenly crept up and settled behind the wall of the Roman army. The Romans killed it by order of Regulus, skinned it, and sent the hide to the Roman Senate. When the dragon was measured by order of the Senate, it turned to be an amazing 120 feet long, and the thickness was fitting to the length.

Evidence of evolution.
See below.
(Side note: There's nothing more irritating than someone who goes around claiming that evolution is false, even though it's totally obvious that that person (a) has done no research on the theory, (b) has read no books on the theory, and (c) hardly even knows what the theory IS. How can you be so sure that it's wrong when you don't even listen to the argument for it?)

Because we know SCIENCE and feel that God has nothing important to do with evolution. How do you back up your claims that there is no proof of evolution when we have WITNESSED IT? We have seen examples of evolution, but you dismiss it based on, as you say, "Hearsay."
You are both incorrect and a hypocrite.

There IS proof of evolution. There was a white butterfly in england that used its color to hid on white trees. But then factories came in and white trees near the factories turned black. Then the white butterflies living there slowly changed black. and there was those birds that darwin visited.
