"As for evolutionists coming out and debating, many have. The problem is, whether they are right or wrong, creationism isn't going away. So what is the point of debating it? I can't see creationists saying, "Oh! I see, you're right after all. Ok then, sorry, we're disbanding and we won't make another peep." Is that ever going to happen? No. All science can do is try to keep it out of public schools where I agree that it has no place. My tax dollars should not have to pay for it. Evolution is an empirical view or at least it is supposed to be. While I don't think evolutionists have the slightest idea how humankind got here, I agree with the basic mechanism of evolution. Nor do I place much emphasis on Darwin. I think Darwin is overrated. But he wasn't wrong. Or at least he had the right idea. But to be placing that much emphasis on a 19th century man while ignoring far more recent evidence that evolution works more with cooperation than with struggle is typical of skeptics."

I'm sorry, old chap, but you clearly have no idea at all what evolution is about. I suggest that you obtain a good tome that deals with it and have a really good read. I could suggest Origin Of Species for starters. It is written incredibly clearly and in simple language and will sort quite a few things out for you.

"I think Darwin was overrated." Hahahahahahahaha!!!!
