<The history of earth and the evolving of species from bacterial forms is obviously a FACT.> EVolution on some scales can be observed. Changes in everything from an atom to all forms of life can be observed... virtually ALL those who "don't believe in evolution" ignore all this and claim one "species" can't evolve to another unless you show them. When you show it to them a petri dish, they make up a new term... "micro evolution"... they believe in that then... cause they HAVE to. Remind you of someone?? Doubting Thomas perhaps??? LOL Childish really. And they ignore things that make their position laughable: "EVERYTHING CHANGES OVER TIME... but (according to them) not a species (into another)".... huh?!? So an arbitrary scientific term is where they draw the line? Yet they have no reasonable ideas of their own as to how this works? They just throw stones. Not interest in science... EXCEPT EVOLUTION! Yea, they know ALL about that right?! Too funny. What's really going on? Why would they even CARE?! Because they believe the bible version... BUT THEY WONT ADMIT THAT, cause they know how stupid it is. They just cant stand the idea that they may be the product of evolution... I guess they think their perfect... like gods. DAK

"It must be accepted." "It is the metaphysically given that must be accepted: it cannot be changed. It is the man-made that must never be accepted uncritically: it must be judged, then accepted or rejected and changed when necessary. Man is not omniscient or infallible: he can make innocent errors through lack of knowledge, or he can lie, cheat and fake. The manmade may be a product of genius, perceptiveness, ingenuity—or it may be a product of stupidity, deception, malice, evil. One man may be right and everyone else wrong, or vice versa (or any numerical division in between). Nature does not give man any automatic guarantee of the truth of his judgments (and this is a metaphysically given fact, which must be accepted). Who, then, is to judge? Each man, to the best of his ability and honesty. What is his standard of judgment? The metaphysically given." AYN RAND aynrandlexicon.com
