    Theory; the Earth is flat.

    Theory; the Sun revolves around the Earth.

    Theory; maggots spontaneously generated by rotting matter.

    Well if I think that you are heretical (hypothetical) and that gives me a right to decrapitate you, that makes me wrong.
    I do not have a right to decrapitate you based on my belief, you do have a Right to believe as you do.

    De-Crap-i-tate v Decapitate, to
    De-Crap-i-tate someone, you dandle them by the ankles, and shaketh them violently till the crap is loosed and vomited out.

    I don't feel it would make you wrong. A danger to me, but not wrong. I suppose I do have a right to believe what I want, but that's been no comfort in a world full of people with opposing beliefs.

    Twinkies are very good, after all.

    Bury one with someone and exhume it after 20 years, it will still be the same.
    Open the package after 20 years and it is well preserved.

    I still remember the artificial taste.
    Same thing with those prepackaged cupcakes, with golden icing.

    Interesting. I may try that one day. The preservatives must be very effective.

    I've never had them, actually. But they sound familiar. I'll have to try them sometime.

    They never rot, only turn white.

    It was the mixed with Coca-Cola and the Original Cherry Coke, called a Shirley Temple.

    I see, then I have had those. In the drink as well as in ice cream. Sorry, I didn't know they were referred to as Maraschino cherries. I simply thought they were ordinary cherries.

    Only way to have a natural cherry in icecream is to do it yourself.

    Okay, I get it. You have never EVER taken science in college and very little elsewhere. It's blatantly obvious. You are totally
    dependant upon Google for what little you've found. Period.

    By the way. You still haven't produced any evidence of a species gradually transitioning into another.

    I get it. You've never taken a college science course. Maybe the closest you've ever been is to a college lab is a football game
    on campus.

    At any rate, you're wrong. Evolution is just a theory. Evolution has never been verified. It can't be reproduced. Period.

    Please, try to come up with something instead of your own ideas or wishes.

    Hey! I've got an idea. Provide evidence of a species gradually transitioning into another species! Wow can you
    imagine that?

    Oy. Arguing with the uneducated..., i.e. those who are truly ignorant of science or how it works.

    I've researched and researched for evidence of a species gradually transitioning into another species.
    Nothing. You've not found anything, either.

    Evolution has done the research for me. There is no evidence of evolution. There is no evidence of
    a species gradually transitioning into another species, which is what evolution is all about.

    C'mon. You have nothing.

    How does you not finding any evidence of a species gradually transitioning into another species
    help promote the incredibly weak theory of evolution?

    You have been very insistent to no provide any evidence of this happening. Why? Oh, because there is no evidence.
    You have been unable to provide anything beyond "Nuh Uh".

    Put up or shut up, as they say.
    So far that's been your job. You don't provide evidence. Just garbage spew.

    Next.

    that highlighted bit, that outs you as science illiterate...you've never been in a science lab...nor have you any significant knowledge of any science...any scientifically literate person knows the scientific definition of Theory is "Theory, Accepted as TRUE"....

    Theory of Evolution=accepted as *TRUE*...

    No, there is nothing stronger than theory in science. Theory is the very top of the pyramid of understanding of how various parts of our universe work.

    If you think there is an answer from science to questions of how something works that is better than theory, you would just state what it is. But, you can't.

    It's you who is outed here as not even knowing what science is.

    Over the many months of you posting your total nonsense on this subject many posters have given you examples of the evolution of new species. So far, you merely ignore that and then ask for more examples!!

    How is asking for scientific evidence for your claims "spewing garbage"? Isn't that what you've been asking for from evolution this whole time?
    I think you know you can't justify believing in Christianity with your same approach of requiring scientific evidence from evolution. So you'll ignore my questions because you simply believe in Christianity because either it suits your views, provides you with comfort, or you have a feeling it is true. Though that's just my guess.

    I'm still waiting to see the scientific evidence you have to support these claims below:

    You know that nothing you're saying here is even going to change anything, correct? Why is this so important to you anyway? Let's assume you are correct and evolution is a complete lie. But it continues to be claimed as true. What happens? If you prove it false, it isn't as if the world will be a better place. If the lie continues, nothing changes either.

    If they still haven't produced any evidence of a species transitioning into another, you still haven't produced evidence that this is any more true:
