" ... evidence has to be the only basis for any decision as to what to accept as true ... "

Absolutely right! Spot on, McGoH! But deciding that you like, or are moved by, the music of Mozart or Beethoven is a personal, aesthetic decision - nothing to do with truth in any broad scientific sense.

Pete keeps demanding that we supply him with evidence to support, what he insists on calling, "evolutionism". But we all know that if we played his tiresome little game he would (a) declare that he didn't believe the evidence any we supplied him with, or (b) scuttle off to 'Creation.com' and 'refute' the evidence by parroting some nonsense from that. The fact is that he refuses to confront the vast mountain (mountain range?) of evidence which is out there - or, more likely, he is incapable of comprehending it.

God (sorry God!) - I'm so BORED with this!!
