Evolution is a known fact, no proof available or needed.
Science is falsifiable, testable, no frauds accepted.
Evolution has never been shown in 150 years searching.
Science is demonstrable and reproducible each time.
Evolution must be accepted as a guiding dogma.

No, stupid, it is a theory, and as such is a pattern verified by many

Any theory is, in fact, millions of facts neatly tied up in a theory.

So Evolution is millions of facts neatly tied up in a theory.

It has been tested by much better than IDiot BroilJAB and found much
better supported tha any theist religion,

it is actually supported by huge amounts of objective physical evidence,
which no theist religion is, and is not opposed by any objective
physical evidence, which some theist religions, the creatonists ones,
are.

Because IDiots like Liarboi Broiljab, DesignDenier, would rather believe
in that which is refuted by objective physical evidence than that which
is supported by it.

Since Evolution is a logical conclusion and not a science, it need not be
falsifiable.

What you have to do is look at the premises and the logic, and see if
they preserve the truth. What you find is that evolution SHOULD happen.

> It has been tested by much better than IDiot BroilJAB and found much
> better supported tha any theist religion,

No one tested it. You can't. Science has existed for 200 years, far too
short for evolution to be tested. You demonstrate some principles of
genetics and population statistics, but develop a new species by
selection techniques? No, that hasn't been done, not even in fruit flies.

True.

The truth of that depends upon the definition of "huge amounts".

False.

Creationism is an unsound argument. The claim is that something complex
MUST have a creator.

Okay, going by that premise, something that can design all that must be
pretty complex itself, and it, too, must have a creator.

And a creator after that, and a creator after that...

It becomes a recursive argument depending upon it's own validity and thus
fails.

So what? How does what other people believe break your bone or pick your
pocket? If it doesn't, and I don't see how Evolution does, then it's none
of your business.

The "agenda" of the religious creationist is to get the government out of
the religion debunking business.

The "agenda" of the government is to eliminate religion and indoctrinate
the young into believing government authorities and their silly
"science".

The error you made is thinking that the government is really teaching
evolution. That's obviously wrong, because elementary and high school
students lack the background in biology, population statistics, genetics,
and so on to understand evolution. It is taught as mindless dogma, which
is something the religious have caught on. Evolution is also not a
science, it is a rational and logical conclusion. Lastly, the version of
evolution that is being taught is in itself bullshit with magic genes and
the irrational belief that intelligence has NO adaptive advantage or
disadvantage, and is magically immune even to genetic drift.

Anti-evolution creationism is a problem for the few religions that
preach it because the physical evidence proves that they are preaching
false doctrines.

In the US, our government lets religions do all sorts of stupid things
and lie to their members. You must not be familiar with the US.

Your ignorance of evolution is not suprising. Religious nuts who want to
believe things that have been proven false rarely try to find out why
they are wrong.

That's because critical thinking is not taught in school from an early
age. Kids, even young ones who cannot yet read, have rudimentary
analysis skills, but they need to understand how to hone those skills.
The problem is that those skills, applied when the kids are going to
their local religious instruction classes, make the teachers quite
uncomfortable or cause them to take offense. "How dare you question the
teaching we are conveying to you about God."

Then we need to teach kids how evidence works once they understand what
critical thinking and logic are.

They are teaching about evolution, and for many hours in all science
classes they are teaching about scientific knowledge, not about science
or how to do it. Giving kids real opportunities to practice science,
even if it is that they discover something that has been known for a
long time, is far more entertaining for both teachers and students than
lectures about facts.

I'm not worried about them. The very rich are doing a lot to help
socialism with their selfishness and greed and religious leaders do more
than any marxist to make religions look bad.

True. But why do the socialist interject their own false doctrines into
their non-science version of evolution?

Unlike the silly non-science of creationism, these socialist false
doctrines are being used to form public policy and law. Like the "No
child left behind" act which is based on the socialist non-science belief
that all populations have exactly the same distribution of intelligence,
thus all teachers should be expected to perform equally well and all
businesses must hire a workforce that reflects the local demographics, or
be sued until bankrupt.

The government does lots of their own stupid things that make the sins of
the religions look trivial. Consider the national debt, the TSA,
"Homeland Security", we've been at war more than at peace since WW II,
and so on.

And you think the government doesn't lie?

So, tell me about the magic genes for intelligence that appear in all
human populations with exactly the same mean and standard deviation
again?

I love that bit of non-science.

If you don't know that one, then you're a hell of a lot more ignorant of
Evolution than I am. Or are you a "racist"? LOL!

Ironically, one of the best schools for learning 'critical thinking'
skills was the Roman Catholic schools. The whole Trivium thing.

Logic is not taught in public schools. It was abandoned over half a
century ago. It was supposed to have been covered in English essay
writing class, but even that was abandoned in favor of "diversity"
replacing logic: everyone has a correct opinion!

And it is funny because, as I pointed out, there is NO WAY high school
students have the necessary background to understand evolution. So you're
only replacing the "How dare you question the teaching we are conveying
to you about God" with "How dare you question the teaching we are
conveying to you about science", only it ISN'T science, it is pure non-
science.

You're going to teach them probability, population statistics, genetics,
biology and all that when you can't even teach half of them how to read?

That's absurd, and your priories are screwed up.

They're teaching a politically correct version of evolution that is based

Evolution is a logical deduction and a valid one, but you cannot test it
thus it is not a science.

There is no worse way to teach "science" than to spew a bunch of facts
they can't understand and say "believe it because I say it is science".
Especially when what you're "teaching" isn't even a real science.
So, you're admitting that the PC version of evolution taught in schools
is nothing more than anti-religion political propaganda, and you support
it.

You are so full of shit it's almost enough to convince someone that we
in fact did not evolve. Evolution IS science. Just because you
aren't smart enough to understand the mechanisms doesn't mean it isn't
