While we're waiting (and waiting) for these "facts" to appear ... perhaps you could answer a question:

Why?

Why would the overwhelming majority of the world's scientists (we're talking tens of thousands of some of the smartest people in the profession, for over 150 years) *ALL* agree to participate in a "fraud"?

Because they're all atheists? Nope. Turns out that about 40% of these very same scientists also believe in some sort of deity. Many are devout Christians. They are NOT atheists.

Because they are natural born conspirators? Nope. Scientists make *lousy* conspirators because (1) they *love* to expose each others mistakes, biases, bad data; and (2) they are lousy at keeping secrets ... they do everything in public, in papers, in journals, in lectures, in conferences, in proceedings ... all of which *you can read*.

Because they benefit financially from the status quo? Nope. The scientific structure *rewards* change ... a significant new theory, a significant new piece of data that throws science into turmoil, is rewarded with fame, fortune, Nobel prizes, lucrative teaching positions, book publishing deals, etc. etc.

And *where* is the evidence of this conspiracy? Where are the secret memos where they all agree "we all know evolution is bogus, but we're going to pretend it's real"? Where are the secret meetings happening?

So, seriously ... WHY?

Did you know that the evidence that sceptics ask of Christians to prove the existence of God has not been reciprocated by themselves to prove evolution exists.. All people who accept evolution do not realise that evolution has not been proved by any evidence whatsoever, the evolution theory is merely an assumption.. Therefore no one can assert that Creation is false because evolution is a fact, an individual who accepts Creation can use the same evidence that evolution acceptors use to claim that Creation is a fact.. If you can show me the evidence I ask for to prove evolution then i'll believe its a fact: Show me a fossil of the common ancestor that all life evolved from or the fossil of the whales common ancestor with its assumed land relatives.. There's millions more to ask but im sure you get the gist of what im saying..

The outrageous claims needed to call it a fraud should make you wince.

Suggestions include denial of plate tectonics, suggestions earth was created recently, a HUGE flood with phantom water that covers everything (EVERYTHING), organized massive secret fraud by all scientists, denial of basic genetics, dismissal of most paleontology.

Find a astrolopithicus specimen in australia, and we'd have some splainin to do. But we haven't and the only facts are on evolutions side.

good luck!

Oh, come off it! If evolution was a fraud, we would all be studying creationism or intellectual whatever. The only fraud is that Christians, who didn't even write the Old Testament, are so unsure of themselves, that they make a big deal about it, while those who DID write the Old Testament are not very concerned about evolution.

The "facts" that it's a fraud are all pure speculation and belief. There's no evidence to support any of them. The only theory for how life progressed that has any evidence to back it up is evolution, that's all there is to it.

There's a lot of misunderstanding on this issue. To really get a handle on it requires a willingness to do some research and reading, and a level-headed, open-minded, objective look at the facts. Sadly, these qualities are often absent in advocates of both sides of the debate.

It particular, most believers in evolution don't realize they haven't been given the whole story. Many think evolution is proven scientific fact, when in fact it's only a theory with alarmingly little scientific evidence to support it, held up only by a lot of speculation and unprovable assumptions. So they end up holding to essentially a religious belief in evolution with virtually nothing scientific to back it up -- ironically, exactly what many of them ridicule creationists for doing.

There's lots of good info on the web about this topic. The link below is a good starting point.

Sorry, there aren't any. Evolution is real whether you like it or not.

Read the King James version of the bible.
It has all the facts.
the book of Genesis tells us how we were created.
