He had lots of observations and evidence that supported the early

scrutiny. Over the decades since, the theory has been refined,
expanded upon, corrected and most importantly utilized. To date, in
over 150 years, the ToE as it is now is the single most well supported
theory in all of science. Baloney? Not even close.

you DO realize evolution itself is a fact, don't you?


And what "vacuous arguments" are you talking about? In my
understanding, vacuous arguments would be of the type creationists
make, since they base it on total ignorance and/or apathy about the
actual subject matter.

One vacuous argument is that "the fossil record supports evolution." But that is only a biased interpretation, not a fact. The actual fossil record shows only that at different times different kinds of creatures were fossilized, and some of the fossilized creatures in earlier strata resembled some of the fossilized creatures in later strata.

it shows descent with modification. that's how evolution is DEFINED.

of COURSE it shows nested hierarchies...similiarities between
creatures. that's a PREDICTION of evolution

creationism? pure guesswork
