you are just wilfully blind at this point. you dont know the meaning of a scientific theory.

Not half the people in this thread not even understanding what evolutionary theory is.
Someone get these hoes a copy of The Origin of Species.

Why is it so hard for you to understand that the theory of evolution doesn't make sense to me and a lot of people?you've provided what you claim to be indisputable evidence that evolution is real yet me and a lot of other have called it BS!so you have failed woefully in convincing a vast majority of people,you don't see religious argue about process as scientific as the process of reproduction do you?argue all you want the the theory of evolution is flawed.

Omg. Evolution is practically true with the mountain of evidence supporting it How do you not understand this Either ways Evolution Theory is part of the Biology field and creationism is not. Lets not.

Too bad its Biology. Its Science. Deal with it  Also please explain to me who it is flawed thoroughly.

Evolution is scientific fact.
You failing to understand something does not make it untrue.

Why do people keep claiming it hasn't been proven, it has. There is SO much evidence, a lot of it even just posted on the last few pages. Yet some people are still in denial
And if you're so delusional that you don't want to believe all the evidence. People haven't been able to prove that the evolutionary theory is wrong, While even archeology alone has shown that creationism couldn't have been possible AT ALL. But yet all the religious people keep clinging on to it.
I'm not even going to bother anymore. If you can re-read the last few pages and still say that everything posted isn't enough proof,...

science is right whether you believe it or not. the proof is there and you refuse to even try to understand, thats just willful ignorance. evolution is a sound fact and someone with internet access shouldnt need a pop forum to educate them. you havent provided any example of flaws.

What is your background in science, and what scientific evidence do you have that the theory of evolution is flawed?
The sky is still blue whether you know why it's blue or not. Evolution is a fact. You saying "Well I don't believe it" doesn't make it untrue, it makes you ignorant.

And if y'all don't stop saying "Well evolution is just a theory!1!"
When people say "the theory of evolution" they are referring to the specific theory of how the human race evolved from prior species.
Evolution, the adaptation of changed genetics over time due to survival of the fittest, is a fact. It can, and has been, observed in nature for thousands of years. There is no debate to whether or not evolution exists. It is not a theory, it is a fact, like gravity.

Also, in regards to an earlier post of yours, no one claims humans evolved from monkeys or whatever. If that is your (paltry) understanding of evolution, no wonder you don't accept it.
I'm only on the second point so far, but
1/F) To accept evolution does not mean to claim to have 100% of the answers for the origin of every living thing. Therein lies the difference between science and religion/"creationism". The scientific stance is, "we don't know all the answers, let's apply the scientific method to find them out piece by piece", while the latter's stance is "we know all the answers, GAWD did it! Now let's close our eyes and ears and say 'GAWD did that!' every time the scientists discover new findings!"
The fact that we still have learning to do about the evolution of the trilobyte in general does nothing to disprove evolution, it's just pointing out something scientists already know about the work we have ahead of us. "There's still something you haven't figured out!" is pretty much the gist of 90% of the creationists attempts to disprove evolution, which is silly. It would be like me asking you a difficult math equation on the spot, and if you can't answer it, claiming that that disproves mathematics.
2/A) Because the lifespans of most animals are far too long, there is lacking evidence of mammals evolving "before our eyes", so to speak. There is, however, evidence of many forms of bacteria developing resistance to antibiotics, a form of natural selection as a result of our use of antibiotics. Similarly, I recall there being some type of moth/butterfly in the UK which developed a spotted black wing pattern during the industrial age, to camouflage with the tried which were becoming covered in soot. Look them up, I have an interview to get to and can't go digging for links  There's also a famous example of green/brown beetles of some kind, with the green ones evolving to be more prominent due to their camouflaging from predatory birds.
The "we have't seen dogs do it!" argument is so lame 
I'll get to the other points if you want after I get home
EDIT: It's called the peppered moth

What kind of slay  . I want more haha!

Omg yes, that's exactly what's happening! What kind of flawless example

I still call the theory of evolution Bs because it has not provided any conclusive evidence that what they claim is true.Funny how pro scientist a ganging up on one individual who has refused to accept you BS.woe betide religious people if the same.Gang up all you want I still call it BS!

This is amazing  I think that schools should start teaching homosexuality in biology. It's part of the human nature/a fact.
Religion (especially Christianity) shouldn't be taught at all or at least not that intensive. Religion is a waste of class time. No one cares about it + we only learn about Christianity while the other religions are being ignored. Young people should choose the Religion on their own without a school forcing it upon them.

screaming at people denying the science and mounds of evidence that support evolution. Like it's 2014. Take a biology class

This thread is legitimately the biggest kii.
Revealing the true nature of some ATRLers, that's for sure. Separating the men from the boys, so to speak. Those claiming that evolution doesn't "make sense" to them, are not actually arguing in favour of creationism, but just making themselves look foolish and uneducated. I mean really? Log out of ATRL for a while and pick up a book or something. Heck, go on a website. It's just a click away!

Also y'all need to chill with hating on religion. It's a coping mechanism for a lot of people and the beliefs of most people are good. I went to a catholic school and I was taught evolution by a member of a catholic order.
