Deniability - negation is the key. What would it take for your mind to be changed? I once told you that it would profit you a great deal to take a course in science. Each post you make on the subject adds weight to my conclusion.

Christopher, evolution has enough weight of evidence supporting it that it seems only logical to accept it as a given unless there is a serious challenge. Chuzz is the last person to go for the "accepted" as being necessarily the case--trust me on this point. Yet his post demands a more thoughtful answer than you have offered.

You get no cigar and no cigar factory. Your arguments are spurious and based on self-inflicted ignorance. You probably do not even understand the difference between a hypothesis and a theory. A theory is the strongest statement that good science can make because it is based on a refined hypothesis that has withstood the test of time and evidence and new evidence supports the underlying supposition and leads to new knowledge. Creationism leads one into infinite circles, destroys knowledge, destroys the possibility of attaining new knowledge, and is based on a literal acceptance of a mystical artifact stolen by the primitive Hebrews from the Sumerian culture's creation myth.
