"I was responding to what Troubador said in the quote at the beginning of my post. Makes perfect sense if you think about it. You have shown a similar failure to understand the point in the past. I thought it might help you to read it. Still no response from Troubador."

Be careful what you wish for Snail!

You accuse Steve of giving moral support to Starry Pete by saying evolution is true.

In fact, YOU give much greater support to Creationism by asserting that he is wrong and stating that he and I cannot show that evolution happens.

This is a classic strawman fallacy and ignores completely the weight of evidence for evolution.

I was an analytical chemist, and spent half my working life in experiments involving identifying substances, from which I could list the constituents of virtually any mixture or amalgam.

I could say with absolute certainty "This mixture contains X% of substance Y", but I couldn't see, or show anyone else the substance.

So for anybody to refuse to believe the result without seeing the substance in a test tube would be arrant bloody nonsense.

Same goes for your nit picking attitude to Steve's comments and your demand to be shown something which happens over millennia.
