When discussing evolution vs creationism, do the two sides line up as
"EVOLUTION: Testable scientific data supported by everything, everywhere, no matter what you want to believe
vs
CREATIONISM: A book of fables that is not supported by anything, anywhere, and can neither be indicated or vindicated, verified or falsified, and can only be believed by the obstinate will of desperate pretenders."
I'm adding this to my list of favorite quotes. Thanks.
The science deniers think there is a debate about evolution. There is no debate. Biologists have accepted evolution as fact for more than a century. These days there are thousands of evidences for evolution from several branches of science, evidence more powerful than Charles Darwin could have imagined possible.
Evolution is the strongest fact of science. Period. There is no debate. Anyone who denies the established truth of evolution is an uneducated moron.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

I added an excellent question about evolution and evolution deniers to my list of favorite quotes and I answered the question.
