>> Here are three simple facts for common descent: <<

Give me an experiment that has the potential to prove common descent false -- you have none. Neither has anyone observed a species changing into another.

Again -- it is an interpretation.

Yes, I do believe biochemistry will ultimately show it to be false. Changes in species?? sure ... transformation from one into the other? Supposition -- I am not saying it is stupid, but that it is an interpretation. The fact that it is taught as fact instead of theory is what is crap ... open-minded people: i.e. scientists aren't afraid of ideas that are outside the mainstream or different.

There are many ways to understand similarities in chemistry and morphology. Some dummies are still putting in textbooks pictures of the human embryo and comparing it at different stages as with other animals as "proof" of evolution?? LOL!!

This is just one piece of BS given by those who are promoting this interpretation. IF you are open minded and a critical thinker and would like to see a list of the fudges (things that "learned scientists" readily admit were fudges) still in college textbooks let me know.

neo, I cut a couple of charts out of Wired magazine a few years ago that shows the % of population in various countries that agree with evolutionary theory. Of the 30 countries surveyed, the U.S. was 29th, with right around 40% of our population agreeing. All major western democracies much higher than the U.S. Only Turkey had a lower percentage. The highest percentage countries were 80% and up.

Unbelievably embarrassing. I keep it on my bulletin board to shock me from time to time.
