    For failure to produce any actual IN CONTEXT quote from Darwin that supports your bogus allegation says volumes.

    Still waiting for the better theory that is going to supplant the Theory of Evolution. It begins to look that there isn't one that anyone has the guts to post.

    There isn't a "better theory" because if there was science would have already found it.

    Just because creationists insist that there is a "better theory" doesn't make that allegation any more credible than their ludicrous "creation science" and their even more risible "intelligence design" nonsense.

    Creationists misrepresent the facts, laws, theories, history, philosophy and methods of science. Wherever you find a modern creationist, there too, you find someone with a cartoon understanding of science in general and evolution in particular.

    If you have no argument why post?

    After over 1500 posts and so many people trying to tell you that this treat is not about creationism you still think it is. Poor thing.

    I did not expect to convict you or any other faithful believer that this treat is not about creationism.
    It is just entertaining to see perception of reality and reaction to it by the faithful.

    This thread was riddled with creationist nonsense in a futile attempt to discredit the ToE!

    The creationists failed miserably.

    I don't even know what to say.
    I, Inquisitor, the person you have been an argument with, have no need in Creationism/ID and I have no more use of it than I have of TOE.
    I am a Xn.
    And you have not and you cannot point to any of my posts in our conversation which would hint that I defend Creationism/ID.

    But it does not matter who I am.
    And it does not matter who you are.

    All what matters is that you cannot prove that your statement " one is not required to prove negative" is true with any logic and evidence.

    It is not just one of your problems.
    But that was what the conversation between you and me was interrupted by a barrage of your attempts to insult me.
    If you really think it is a way of winning an argument in an intelligent conversation I certainly disagree and let the public to decide..

    That you have taken personal umbrage about this thread being riddled with creationist disinformation says volumes.

    FTR I have not insulted you and it is disingenuous to make an allegation that you cannot substantiate.

    Your one and only tactic to "engage in debate" is to throw out some spurious inanity and then harp on it endlessly. That is not how it works when it comes to debate. So no, I won't play your silly game because it is just a waste of time.

    When you have something of substance to WRT the OP's bogus allegation that the ToE is not supported by scientific facts you can try again.

    Have a nice day!

    I made a similar response to him recently.

    I saw that and hopefully he will put yours and mine together and realize that we are on to his puerile game.

    Why are you trying to make this a religious issue? Is it because the evidence of
    evolution is incredibly weak?

    Let's stick to science.

    You didn't read this article. Nowhere in it does it provide one shred of gradual transitioning
    of a species to another. Every single piece is a complete species of its own. Where are
    the gradual transitioning fossils? There isn't a single piece in this article.

    All this article provides is an assumption. There is nothing to connect the so-called transitional
    fossil except guess work. Oh, the horse thing was taught in the 60's when I was in school.
    Pretty funny.

    By the way, I'm not denying scientific evidence. I'm using it against the "theory" of
    evolution. It's a theory not a fact.

    That's what I and many others have done.

    You just dismiss the science presented. Perhaps you just don't understand it. Perhaps you don't want to understand it because it contradicts your fundamentalist religious beliefs.

    I provided you the source. You're denial of what Darwin said speaks volumes. You really need to
    read the text instead of making up what you want him to say. I know you didn't read it because your
    response shows you didn't.

    Instead of posting your feelings and desires try reading the facts first. One should not be fearful
    of the truth if one is telling the truth.

    I think you just proved your denial of ToE is based on religious grounds. The only people who use "It's a theory not a fact" argument are Creationists. Actually AIG goes one step further...

    https://answersingenesis.org/theory-of-evolution/evolution-not-even-theory/
    Evolution: Not Even a Theory
    Although some Christians have attacked evolution as “just a theory,” that would be raising Darwin’s idea to a level it doesn’t deserve.
    A theory has its genesis in a hypothesis, which is a working assumption as to why we observe something—an educated guess.​

    The evidence is overwhelming and constantly growing. You can't prove that gravity exists either, though the evidence for that is also overwhelming. It's also easily observable. The only difference between gravity and evolution is you don't have some book of superstitions telling you that what you call gravity is some giant sky-being's hand pressing down upon you.

    That creationists don't comprehend basic scientific terminology means that it is an utterly futile waste of time pointing out their numerous fallacies.

    And yes, the evidence that creationists don't have a clue about scientific terminology exists in their "belief" in completely bogus concepts like "creation science" and it's illegitimate spawn "intelligent design".
