You're using a lot of red herrings in your response but the truth is evolutionism is such a sacred cow, and it is protected from ANY scrutiny, regardless. Anyone who dares to question the adult fairytale called evolution is met with ad hominem comments and or fired. It is a shame and I don't know why more people are outraged by this.
The hokey idea that man are distant relatives of field mice is taught in schools and people are prohibited by questioning it, but something like study of intelligent design in life is forbidden from even seeing the light of day. It absolutely makes no sense.
It's laughable where they come up with these astronomical numbers. Items that have been found in coal seams include bells, shoe soles, toys, spoons, spark plugs just to name a few. Yes they appeared to be "fossilized" in the coal but if we are to believe these guys, that spark plug that was found has been there for 300 million years. Unbelievable.
And it's interesting (and predictable) to note the gauge of responses - i.e. the tagging: "f*ckthecreationists". Wow that is really mature. Aside from the fact that ths subject still hasn't done anything to "prove" evolution, it is amusing to note such childish responses. Truth is the evolutionists aren't any closer to proving to the skeptics that a pineapple and a porcupine share a common ancestor. No, in the absence of proof, we observe "f*ckthecreationists".
"No, not an "opinion". Fact. Absolute, 100% uncontrovertible fact. "
What, evolution? No it isn't a "fact" it's nothing more than a theory. If it is a "fact" as you say, what are the "facts" of evolution? No, don't give me beliefs, give me the "facts" as you call it.
"We, humans, know that god is fiction because he is OUR fiction. We invented him. We made him up. "
If we are to follow this flawed logic, then that means evolution is fiction because it is OUR fiction. It's something that someone made up. Now if you tell me you don't believe in God that's acceptable. I don't agree but it's acceptable. On the other hand if you say we "know" that God is fiction, then you'll need to give me something to back such a statement up. For example, if I say there is no gold in China, I'll have to posess knowledge of what is under every rock, in every cave, in every mouth of every person in China, and knowledge of every grain of sand in China to "know" there isn't any Gold in China.
I'm quite amused at how many responders equate the theory of evolution with "logic" or "common sense" or "science". Now I'm not surprised at the ad hominem comments aimed at those who don't believe in such a theory. That's extremely common. It is to be expected. I'm convinced that the belief in evolutionism and ad hominem share a distant ancestor somehow. It's obvious that the motivation behind the belief in evolutionism is emotion. People lose their composure, etiquette, and common sense when someone dares to question anything having to do with evolutionism.
A nickel's worth of free advice to the candidates who are challenged about their belief that evolution is pseudoscience: Demand a definition for "evolution". Unless both the candidate and the one posing the question agree on just exactly what the hell is evolution, the exchange is useless. I believe it is easier to nail jello to a tree than it is to get a consistent definition of "evolution" from those who believe in it. It can be loosely defined as simply "change" or to something as absurd as "everything living has a common ancestor, be it pond scum, an amoeba, a simple cell, or whatever you want to believe". Because what will happen is someone will be labeled an idiot for not believing in evolution and the term evolution be defined as simply "change" - i.e. different breeds of dogs, etc... Obviously that CAN be observed in science. However evolutionists inevitably will connect something that can be observed such as different breeds of dogs, to the belief that a pineapple and a porcupine share a common ancestor. This, on the other hand is a belief system, devoid of science, and no, someone who subscribes to such an absurd theory will not get my vote.

I sure as heck don't want to read a bunch of liberal crap about nobama. You could have picked some better topics.
"CHANGE THE CHANNEL" is an often repeated remedy, but the problem is, we're running out of channels.

Seems like I already read about "paths of the sea" in Psalms 8.
