Why don't you believe? The theory was developed and is continually tested via the scientific method. This is the same kind of rigorous testing that gave us every other scientificly developed piece of technology you own, gave us medicines to cure us and eliviate symptoms, put a shuttle into space, etc. The method works. Why fight the results with superstition? And please don't say "there are no results", that is just plain innacurate.

Science can not "prove" something as much as a 2000 year old book can prove something. Science does it's best to disprove things through MULTIPLE experiments. The more times an idea can not be disproven, the stronger it becomes.

[In response to several replies]

Look dumbasses, the theory isn't being tested again and again using the same means that would be stupid, he means that the results of tests from different fields of study (archeology, paleontology, biology, astronomy, etc) fit the evolution theory model and improve upon it's continuingly increasing stability.

The evidence IS there, you just choose to turn a blind eye to it or rebuke it as fake (like all you people saying "Lucy" was proven fake despite there being more than one skeleton found) because you can't accept the truth. Quoting from A Few Good Men ~ "You can't handle the truth!"

Why do you think scientific discoveries were prohibited during the dark ages? To keep people from learning that God didn't do everything the Bible reported him responsible of.

In order to get ALL the facts,and not just the ones that have been indoctrinated into you, you need to educate yourself in ALL the aspects of the theory of evoluton. You can't just pick and choose what to believe and what to discard.(Sounds familiar,doesn't it?)
I suggest you read "Icons of Evolution: Science or Myth?" by Jonathan Wells. According to this book,when asked to list the evidence for Darwinian evolution,most people,including biologists and other scientists,give the same set of examples,because all of them learned from the same few science textbooks. There are 10 evidences listed:
1. The Miller-Urey Experiment
2. Darwin's Tree of Life
3. Homology in Vertebrate Limbs
4. Haeckel's Embryos
5. Archaeopteryx - The Missing Link
6. Peppered Moths
7. Darwin's Finches
8. Four-Winged Fruit Flies
9. Fossil Horses and Directed Evolution
10. From Ape to Human: The Ultimate Icon

These examples are so frequently used as evidence for Darwin's Theory that most of them have been called "icons" of evolution. Yet all of them,in one way or another,misrepresent the truth.
Since science is supposed to be about the search for truth, I search and study every avenue at my disposal,and I make a fully informed decision on what I believe to be or not to be true.I do not keep my mind closed to all the possibilities. Will you,and others who believe so devoutly in evolution,have the courage to do the same,and actually think for yourselves, instead of blindly believing everything that has been taught to you? If you just learn the pros to evolution and not the cons, just how educated and informed are you then?
Scientific testing,as you say,has given mankind numerous advantages in our lives,but it is also rigorous scientific testing that is proving the many insurmountable problems with the theory,and I believe it will be science that will one day prove the theory to be totally and undeniably false. Of course,many scientists and people will not let go easily, but sooner or later they won't have a choice in the matter.

Evolutionists have no solutions. I asked a normal question, and no evolutionists had an answer, maybe I could positioned up the question returned yet all over returned... the question identify replaced into. Evolution = no longer genuine skill God = sturdy clothier?

I do not believe soley in evolution because it has yet to provide the answers I desire. I have yet to see how we can develope from a single-cell organism to the complex and various multi-cell organisms of today. I think there are too many steps missing to leave it all up to science and that some higher being helped with the process.

If you have all this evidence, which evolutionists after evolutionists say you do, where is it? You have evolutionary charts that have been drawn showing the different ages of things but this is all conjecture, and speculation, just a guess or a theory. You have many dating methods such as radio carbon dating, but they have proven entirely inaccurate. And you have strata data which is 100% circular reasooning. You say the fossils are x years old because of the strata of rock they are in, then you turn around and say the strata is x years old becasue it has these fossils in it. Where actually is your proof?

why is it being continually tested? that right there tells me those that are testing are not getting the results they hoped for, therefore each new test is exponentially more biased and no longer valid. the scientific method may have proved other things, but after all the years since the development of evolution the scientific method has yet to prove evolution right. this would be how many years and how many times the hypothesis for the theory of evolution has not been proven true? accoding to the mathematical law of averages that would prove evolution to be false.

which one would you rather hold on to. the scientific method, that has proven its validity for many physical and mathematical laws, or evolution for which the scientific method has yet to prove true?

Since many books have been written about this subject, instead of giving you an answer as long as a book let me just refer you to the Answers in Genesis organization. You'll find scientists working there who've shown why evolution can not be true.

However, It is still a THEORY and not a proven FACT

There are no results....this is entirely accurate.
Even the scientists who believe in the theory......yes.....it's still a theory, will tell you it has not been proven.

There are fossils of creatures from long ago and todays bones but the ones that make the transitions...that show the small minor changes over long periods do not exist.

So.......You believe the theory of evolution.
We believe in Creation

You have faith in your theory
We have faith in ours

No difference

Its the church leaders, the ministers and preachers that make millions of dollars fleecing their flock that are the most frightened, they would lose their cash cow and have to actually work for a living instead of telling others how to live their life.
