"You're just being dishonest." You are substituting infantile insults for argument. "many educated people do not accept Evolution as fact." Some do not. But the universal consensus amongst educated people is that Evolution is a fact. Indeed, you could find few (or perhaps not any) credentialed and reputable bodies not in support of the Science of Evolution. It would be impossible to teach Science to our children if there were not such an overwhelming consensus amongst the educated and the educators. "Your whole act revolves around insulting, mocking, and marginalizing anyone" Nice insult. But not an argument! When will you learn that your ad hominems simply punctuate the impotence of any claims you attempt to make??

You're just being dishonest. I challenged your universal statement by pointing out the obvious truth that many educated people do not accept Evolution as fact. So you wasted 20 posts wasting people's time with & cluttering this space with what you think is some amazing revelation ? There are intelligent people that believe in UFO's , 3 1/2 billion that don't believe in a God per se & there are intelligent people that like to eat raw fish & believe Nature contains spirits too . Really wish you well with comprehending the bigger themes in the complexity that is human culture & thought if you are so caught up in these tiny victories . All I needed was to show that one educated person disagreed with Evolution and you position was defeated. That's really world shaking victory to spend 20 posts on, did that give you some cheap thrill ? Since many moderate believers of faith do consider seriously the scientific empirical revelations now , maybe you could point to a few of those too? It has been noted lately that the volume level of public outcry against the TOV (Theory of Evolution) has been turned way way down to almost be inaudible , maybe just not out in your garage .

You're talking out of both sides of your mouth, but thanks for admitting that there is no universal consensus among educated people that Evolution is a fact Among the educated people that are closest to the subject in all the worlds great science depts , the Vatican scientists & Pope , England , most all of Europe , Denmark & Scandinavia , Israel, Australia with most of China & would venture to say Canada , for the majority do . So a pattern seems to form here that in the countries where there's the greatest liklihood of people having the chance to be taught, educated & shown the data , the theory is embraced .
