Evolutionists are having a harder and harder time convincing the public of the merits of their beliefs. Galileo was challenging what scientist all knew. He was ridiculed.
Now, evolution which scientist tell us is a fact, is beginning to crumble. The discovery of how complex a single cell is enough to demolish the very idea of life just happening by natural forces. Then, the idea of life "evolving" through mutation - which is virtually always harmful, into a superior organism, defies common sense.
Hopefully, evolution will go the same way as alchemy, phrenology and astrology.

Actually nothing is happening to evolutionists. Americans have firmly learned that the word theory has the definition of fact. It is belief in God that is ridiculed. Another question one could ask is:
Today how would atheists and academia treat Galileo since he was a Christian?

Okay, first of all. Yes, evolution will be accepted and proven some day.
As for Yaabro.. Are you kidding? there is a difference between breeding and evolution. Evolution is natural selection and mutation because of earths changing environment. If you raise a black family in antarctica, they will become lighter over time. The breeding you are talking about is human intervention that is actually preventing evolution because you are spreading the faulty genes and maintaining the same environment, so there is no reason for your dogs to evolve.

For starters, evolutionists believe that in the beginning, there was nothing, then it blew up, and here we are!! This is a theory and only a theory, it has been disproven scientifically over and over again. If you were to check out the Bible, you will find that there are things that are written in there from thousands of years ago that scientists only recently found out about!!

Not at all. Quite the opposite. Try questioning any aspect of evolution (as you are supposed to with any scientiffic theory) and see what kind of reception you get. There is a stigma attached to question evolution, and that is very unhealthy. If we do not question the theory, find it's flaws, and revise our views accordingly, it loses all value.
Personally, I believe in evolution, and that the only explanation for some of the weak parts in the theory is God.

I don't want to question anyones religious convictions, if they believe in creationism, so be it. On the other hand I do not want them shoving their beliefs down my throat. This attitiude of my mind is made up, don't confuse me with facts is not very helpful.

yes, (except for being put on trial for heresy). 100 years from now, evolution will be just as accepted as the fact that the Earth revolved around the sun.

Unfortunately there is no solid evidence of any "transitional" species to date. I would have to say no. Evolution is still simply a theory. There are too many varieties of species out there that simply cannot interbreed. Evolution doesn't make mesh with cold, hard facts.

Basically, yes.
It's unfortunate that more Christians can't come to terms with modern day facts, I don't see what all the fuss is about.
