Oh, so you mean when you TEST the theory that you can get tangible results which seem to verify the theory? Well, then devise a good test to prove the theory of Evolution. I'm not talking about mutation either. I'm talking about species arising from simple subtractive processes in the DNA/RNA replication process.

Its disingenuous to say that Faith is without evidence. I have faith that my chair will not collapse every time I sit in it. Did I independently have it verified or did I even inspect it? Nope. I just know it worked last time and it should work again. That's a little like how faith is with God. Many many many things point to God but you can't "prove" his existence. However you can take the facts you have and combine it with faith and still believe. By the way, none of this requires suspending any known facts whatsoever. It is a cheap ploy used by deniers to say that you have to ignore science to believe in God.

Yep, it has no real application in real life for humans at least. Humans have figured out how to stop it by enabling the worst of society to breed and prosper at the expense of the rest. There are few other areas of nature where the weakest / laziest are rewarded.

haha, this is so true. This is why Idiocracy is such a great movie. It was way ahead of its time.

I grew up in a fundamentalist atheist household. And inflicting the communicable memetic disease of faith on children and brainwashing them to believe in the evil of religion is absolutely child abuse. It imposes a severe mental, emotional and ethical harm to children's minds before they are capable of fighting off the infection. In most cases this harm is permanent, and the child never recovers and becomes healthy again.

And I certainly don't share your belief that evolution is unimportant. It's not the only, not the most important theory in science. But it is definately one of the biggies. Given that biology is one of the core scientific subjects, and understanding evolution is pretty important within that.

No its not. Its not important at all. Show me even one place where it makes any difference at all in the understanding of how biology works. Just one example. BTW, you can understand mutation and RNA replication errors and DNS degradation and all that and still be a creationist.

Obviously, this doesn't amount to child abuse. You sir are a troll. The theory of Evolution has almost no application in real life. Even for invertebrate zoologists. Some of the most widely respected invertebrate zoologists I know are also creationists. It just doesn't affect the understanding of the science at all. I know I shouldn't argue with trolls but your argument assumes so many wrong things that I feel like I need to point them out.
