And your evidence supporting that statement is...what, exactly?

And *where* did all that water go?

We see fossilzed ocean creatures on mountain peaks because those peaks
are land that was once sea bed, and has been pushed *up* by the
movement of tectonic plates.

Yes, a *volcano*. Not all the mountains in the world are volcanic.
Mt. Everest, for instance, is *not* a volcano.
So what made the mountains THAT AREN'T VOLCANOS grow so rapidly? You
still have no clue.

Many varieties of fish, actually, never strop growing through their
entire lives. If they aren't felled by disease or a predator, they
just keep getting bigger.

No. Read his sentence again. Do you know what it means "to falsify"
in scientific parlance?

Oh horsepucky. You don't have the slightest bit of evidence that
*any* god exists, including yours. You simply can't face the fact
that some day, you'll die. So you buy into this exceptionally silly,
not to mention vicious, religion.
Grow up and get over it.

The ToE is one of the most robust, best-supported ideas science has
ever come up with. There are mountains of data - still growing, like
those volcanos - supporting it.

Not unless there's some evidence that points to a creator, no, they
won't.

The world has come a long, long way since Newton, who, BTW, was no
kind of christian you would recognize.
