Evolution is a fact. It can be tested in a laboratory. Unless you don't believe in things like tuberculosis, drug resistant tuberculosis actually. We can evolve bacteria easily. There is solid evidence in the fossil record, in the linkage between DNA sets, in fucking DOG BREEDS.
So if someone creates a medicine that works and is safe for a dog, you'd line up to take it? After all, it would a scientific fact that it's safe and effective. We don't teach religion in science class so why do we want to apply science to religion. It just doesn't make sense to me, unless you are trying to replace religion with science.
What are you really asking? Do you want to frame the questions to control the answer or be fair? I haven't set foot in a church for over 20 years and I this whole debate always leaves me scratching my head. I just don't see the relevance, but then 30 years ago I thought typing class was a waste of my time!
How much of this discussion is really about debunking Christianity? I can remember being in a Biology class in college where that was the way evolution was presented. That's philosophy not science.
Ironically, I think you weaken your position by presenting evolution as incontrovertible facts. They aren't facts and never will be without the benefit of a "wayback" machine. It is a theory. If you try to wave a magic wand to make them facts, aren't you creating a hook for someone to attack the question rather than answer it?
This discussion also makes me think that people should be careful what they ask for. If evolution becomes a fact, I can see this whole discussion becoming twisted. Won't one liberal argument will be used against another?
I have the Brenthaven Mobility Backpack for my Powerbook and I love it. It has protected my computer through three encounters with gravity. There is a removeable internal sleeve that fits specifically each model of Powerbook.
